compromise
is just a big word meaning ‘to give in’. what happened to just accepting people as they are and not demanding they change? or even worse, “subtly” nagging them until they can’t handle it any more, so they either start lying or just tell you to fuck off. i know that asking them to stop their demands is, in itself, a demand, but what other options are you left with since they won’t figure it out on their own? i’m a big believer in being who you are and allowing others that same courtesy, but at what point does it become counter-nagging when, in response to their demands, ultimatums, etc., you have to continuously remind them that a person can’t change simply because you want them to?
and i find it bizarre that my own questions are nagging me. i may need therapy.
