I Want More Self-confidence

I don't know if I've become more confident or less sensitive towards others' feelings. When I say something and it upsets somebody, I rarely beat myself up over it anymore. My mind would be like....it's their issue. They have to deal with it because I know myself. If I said something and they took offense it means they'd done or said something that didn't sit well with me in the first place.

Then again, I'm human. I make mistakes. I still apologize. Above all, I still hate to HURT anyone.

Thinking that they take you the wrong way and it isn't your problem lacks empathy but sure makes life easier. That doesn't help with interpersonal relationships at all. You are supposed to not want to hurt people's feelings but don't let yourself be a doormat either.

Yes I would thing that was opening yourself up to being taken advantage of.

Yup so in a way sometimes I think it's good when you don't give a fuck.

I keep on learning this but on the process it makes realise that we have to strengthen what is right or wrong beyond belief though the hard part was to balance which empathy takes place..

I believe that empathy is a virtue but I also think not everyone deserves it.
