well, what did they say? not everything can be made up from, depending on the severity. i’d talk to them and say “hey, when you said [x] it made me feel [y] type of way. it felt disrespectful.” or something along those lines if you haven’t had a proper talk with them yet.

Time. And forgiveness does not mean you owe them your time, presence, energy, or interaction. If someone is toxic and hurting you, it’s ok to leave. You can leave someone and still forgive them too. Or if you choose to stay and work it out…again…time. And communication.

Personally I don’t. I feel like Im not respected enough and I obviously gave them too much respect so why stick around

Personally I like to have a conversation a about it and find out the reason they said/did what they did. I’m one of those people who will dwell and overthink and I find just being confrontational (not in a mean way) and getting an explanation puts my mind at ease. You also tend to find out a lot of things are just misunderstandings!

It may seem daunting but saying something like “hey this thing you did made me feel weird and I want to talk about it and understand why you did it” will make you feel so much better than ruminating. And they get defensive and refuse to communicate they’re not the one
