People are the true monsters.
At least with evil entities, you know what you're getting, their intentions are very clear.
But with people? What do you get?
Uncertainty.
Met someone who said they are "neutral", I have never met a less neutral person in my life.
The only neutral I see going on is that said person discriminates equally across all boards.
I have never claimed to be a neutral person. I never claimed to be not judgmental.
But I know what I am - I know that I can put aside my feelings to hear my clients out, give them a safe space to rant without me judging them. There is a time for listening, a time for giving advice and a time to give a safe space. But there is also a time when victim mentality comes in and also a time where you need to be called out for playing victim and blaming everything around you other than holding yourself accountable for the part you played in it. And when it comes to then, my tough love enforcer comes out. I'm a fire that can keep you warm but burn you if you don't do something right.
The lack of accountability people have.
I don't care if I sound cold, I don't care if there's push back.
I might be empathetic but I'm not blind.
