This kind of hits a note with me too because I feel like if the world was expected to be more considerate and held to higher standards I wouldn't have the problems I do. I feel like I was trained from a young age to be well mannered and a "gentlewoman" to use the old age terminology and I get stick to death of hearing I should just let less than that get away with things.
However, I have a friend who is an extrovert and straight up truly isn't this way and doesn't seem to get upset at whatever other people do... just rolls right off his back. In a way I resent him but recognize that everyone is different about their expectations.
I just wish I could move to high standard world.
