  • I think it's because people often associate the word "owe" or "owed" with entitlement

    All I can say is that during pretty rough times in my life, I've tried two opposite approaches. The first one was to have a fuck-off attitude and purposefully antagonize people online just to piss off and offend others because I was feeling angry and ugly inside. The second approach was to try to be empathetic and maybe share a kind word with someone online each day

    Between "no one owes me anything/I don't owe anyone anything" and "I owe this person some decency and an attempt to understand them", the latter has had a much greater impact in my life

    • The second one is definitely a better approach, even with some members of this site.
