Good judgment is sharpened by patterns unable to be ignored: every time someone's actions don't match their words, each speck of disrespect that makes its way into your sphere, those patterns repeating like clockwork, and every assumption about your character when you remain in your lane, unproblematic and unbothered. Some people live for a reaction, seeking proof they have disturbed your energy, pathetically pushing buttons to validate that their games matter. There are times you must advocate for yourself with the fury of a wildfire. And there are times when distasteful actions deserve no response. Zero.
