At this point, I don't even ask people why they are mad at me anymore. I'm pretty sure I must have done something at some point for them to dislike me. Full disclosure, I do have a habit of confronting people when something feels off. Or I must have called out the way they behaved inappropriately just because they felt entitled. Or maybe I simply refused to worship them the way they expect everyone to. I generally don't indulge in such situations, I just distance myself like a mature adult and move on. No dramatic exits, just a quiet disappearance with my dignity intact. And I don't sit around overthinking it either, my peace is far more important than their mood. If they needed validation, it should come from them first, asking for it like beggars from people around them only makes them look desperate. See, I did it again. it's a crime? sue me.
