it confuses me so much how some people just expect everyone to just accept all circumstances. like if i see someone doing bad or stuggeling in an enviroument then i would rather change the enviourment then expect the person to change. some people really struggle to change perspectives it seems.

for what it's worth, this person was an abusive a-hole and is no longer in my life. Unfortunately though, I think there are a lot of people with this type of pre-disposition, who do not understand social anxiety, and don't really have any desire to try to understand or accommodate it either.
