Anyone not feel as bad when someone complains about being treated the same way they treat others? I know people who will treat others unfairly or just not being polite but as soon as someone else treats them the same way, they get upset and not understand why they're being treated in that manner. I don't feel as bad when this happens since they're getting a taste of their own medicine. For example, if someone is constantly blowing you off or not responding to your messages and then someone else does that to them, they get mad and not understand why. They fail to understand that they do the same thing to others.

Sometimes people just don't understand or don't care about how their own behavior affects others. When this happens, I just don't feel as bad for them and even sometimes will tell them that they do the same thing but they'll look for justifiable reasons for them treating others the same way or claim that they only treat certain people that way. These are the kinds of people I distance myself from since they refuse to change their own behavior and think it's okay to treat some people poorly but if someone were to do it to them then it's all the sudden a "how dare you treat me that way" kind of mentality.

Your post is so true!

Hypocrisy, being two-faced; call it what you will. I've also experienced this and from a close relative too. In fact, the very person who as a parent is responsible for teaching you the difference between right and wrong. Also, if you have a sibling, to apply the same rules to them. In this case, I've called it emotional blindness.

Challenging is a lost cause, so I've just accepted that it happens. What goes around, comes around as the saying goes.
Thanks for this!

Yep I totally agree, and I agree that parents can be downright awful about this. They can be so hypocritical, yeah some people may not be aware but most just don’t care. They think they're allowed to treat others a certain way, yet no one can do the same to them. I agree that what goes around comes around, and even then people won’t learn.
Thanks for this!
