They've asked several times before, and each time I've only been able to give them a half-apology - I apologized for being persistent, but not for being impulsive, and that wasn't good enough. I can't help being impulsive! I'm adventurous! I crave excitement and joy! But I'm sorry that I pushed him too hard. I'm sorry I hurt him. And... apparently that's not good enough. He doesn't want me in his life, he can't fucking let it go. And he calls me selfish. Says I don't respect him, based on one night out of 5 years where I tried too hard to get him to enjoy life. I'm sorry I can't fix your depression, guy, but like, at least I tried. You could have at least tried the things I suggested. You could have at least tried to follow my advice. whatever. it was literally just a walk in the park ... anyway I am often wrong. I often correct my past self. I always apologize for hurting people, but I never apologize for doing what I believe is right. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/3107 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: Meta, oversimplifying │ └───────────────────────────────┘ @user-1449 @user-1074 I mean, you're allowed to fight about stupid shit as long as you realize it's about something that doesn't matter.
