I'm not trying to change anybody. But sometimes people don't know that something they said is hurtful. If I tell someone something they said/did hurt or upset me, and their response is to apologize, then that's all fine. But if their response is to turn it back on me, then what that says to me is that they lack empathy and don't care how they make the people in their life feel. I don't try to change that. I walk away.
