i just want to emphasize that i always do my best to listen and learn from what people are saying, but that doesn't mean i always agree with what they're saying if it doesn't mesh up with reality as i understand it.
i also always do my best to care and empathize with people, even as they're trying to destroy my life. because i know what kind of horrible pain you have to be holding inside to feel compelled to act in those ways, and it makes me really sad to think about it
