Are we responsible for how people treat us?

I've heard this saying, "people will only treat you how you allow." However, I've also heard, "You are not responsible for how people treat you - but you are responsible for how you treat others and yourself!"

I think we are responsible for how people who we allow in our lives treat us because we can choose to cut those people off. I also think we're responsible for how we treat others and ourselves because we can choose how we treat others and ourselves. However, if a stranger is rude to you for whatever reason that's out of your control. So, in that way you're not responsible.

-_-' Thoughts?

You're not responsible for strangers' behavior.

Bullies treat random people like crap because their own life sucks ass, and they have too much bile inside them for one person, so they decide to spread it around. They can't control or change their own sucky life, so they set out to empower themselves at the expense of other people via bullying.

I love it when bullies bite far more than what they can chew, and end up getting demolished in the process, preferably by me.

And I love it EVEN more when basic white bitches pretend they're holier than thou but are actually the bully's friend, and take exception to the bully getting demolished, and attack the target of the bully, basically continuing the bullying and then act all holier than thou again when called out.

Oh, if I had a dollar for every time that happened on DXP, Melania would be scrubbing my toilet by now.

You're always responsible for you actions...

Tho, you'd have to be a robot - to be 100% logical at all times. People are also emotional and sentimental - and their actions tend to reflect that to some extent (quite big sometimes). You might be upset with someone (or freaking hate x - for whatever reason), you could be love-struck, or it's someone that gets preferential treatment for you (for being a best friend - or whatever) - and so on and so forth... Either way, the way you chose to treat those people (or yourself) - it's not always based on logic (or fair/wise treatment - if you will).

That being said and as mentioned above... You're always responsible for you actions. And sometimes you're also responsible for the treatment you get. Tho, there's also times when you're only partially responsible or not at all (during an accident, or if you happen to be the random victim of someone with malicious intent). Yet, this is valid only for people who are mature enough - cause obviously - ones mental faculties and age imply different levels of responsibility. For example, you can and shouldn't expect much from a toddler - so always be on guard - while dealing with this little goblins. 💩 Then there's people with down syndrome - who still bare the responsibility of child even at adult age.

There are nuances but most of the time the answer is no.

People are going to do them, regardless.

There's also something narcy about treating others only how we wish to be treated. It sounds great as an ideal but on a practical level it's rotten garbage.

Realistically people are better off letting it be known how they want to be treated, those who care for them are going to respect and honour those wishes. And vice versa.

agree. you can affect it but you cant control it. control is the issue, really.

Well normally this is where I'd post a really gross gif to put you off, but I think It's too late. Might as well embrace it.

Oh, but to answer your question: bullies demolish themselves when they prey on me. Only a dumbass would pick a fight with an Aries stellium (and a sharp-tongued Sag rising) and think they can walk away in one piece, whether physical or mental.
