There is a lot of bullying going on this season like I've never seen before, and it's fascinating to see the different perspectives how I'm a good person. I don't bully anyone. There's a lack of awareness, a lack of recognition of the toxicity of how together these women who are maybe nice individually, together, they are creating a very ugly environment. And so when the others come forward and say they're feeling bullied, well, then that can't be

As far as how human beings that were engineered, there is a sense of, like, overall morality and ethics at play that is more important than just you. So, yeah, this is a great idea. Mind exercise, though, into exactly with validation. Does that come with Gratification? So yeah. Thanks for this post
I think you're right. If I may paraphrase that we could show compassion to both and hope that at some point there will be a deeper understanding for the person who is not being bullied buried, but feel like they're being bullied. Here's a different example, but ties into this. Similarly, it's a personal experience where there was a change made where I live, and I explained that I was disabled, and this does not work for me
You made me laugh brandy with your final comment there. I think you make some good points about the we don't really pay too close attention sometimes to the definition of words, and they've become almost hot topics in themselves. Certain words that it makes it more difficult to have a conversation to use language when certain words are suddenly off the table or emotionally charged when thinking about that next step you made me think of. Sometimes we just need to be heard, but not just the words heard

And it is not fun for either one of you, is it? No. Okay. So what are we going to do in the future when somebody wants their toy? You're going to ask for a back, correct? Cool. We're not going to s*****. We're not going to fight. We're not going to do that. So in the future, what are we going to do? Ask for it back. Okay, cool
And I love how you've delineated the difference between compassion and understanding and how sometimes they're synonymous and sometimes they're not. I couldn't agree more. I think that when I try to reimagine the education system and what we could use in it, like, emotional intelligence, I think, is definitely one of those things that would be so valuable if we included it in the latter years of high school
