Maybe for once you should think about how you make others feel. Maybe you should consider how the things you say and the ways in which you say them might be hurtful.
Not everyone is as self assured as you. Not everyone has a clear idea of the world. Not everyone is so sure of everything. That doesn't make their ideas worthless or the topics they bring up less worth discussing.
What gives you the right to judge people straight away? Assess the situation before you've ever heard everything? Dismiss whatever else I have to say right off the bat? Don't you even consider, for even one second, what that's like for me? When I wanna just bring up a lighthearted topic of discussion and you CONSTANTLY shutting me down... can you blame me for being annoyed?
And when I point this out, your only reaction is anger? What are you angry about? How dare I think of you this way? How dare I be hurt because I get the feeling that you think I'm stupid? Or are you angry because you always ALWAYS have to be right?
And even IF you never meant to make me feel stupid or insignificant, even if you unintentionally hurt me, couldn't you just apologize anyway? No. No you can't.
You just have to come and fucking talk to me like that, in the coldest tone you can muster, giving an apology that's not an apology, a promise that's like an accusation, a threat.

And you know what? I bet this will be my fault again in the end.
It's always my fucking fault.
