I’m in.

I had a friend/ acquaintance die in an accident this year and I an shamed to say that I realised I had put him in a category of “ not very important to my life, and possibly a bit beneath me “.
Truly awful, , I didn’t value him and his precious life.
I don’t need to have liked him more, or even seen him more. I just want to have respected him more.

So I’ve taken a deep breath and decided to really take in how amazingly human we all are. Sounds so simple and obvious, but I want to put some work in in that place.

Thanks for the invitation Minty .

I just feel irritated by people and find myself slagging them off to people and I don't know why.It makes me feel ashamed sometimes.

You shouldn't have to tolerate mansplaining which is unacceptable behaviour. Men need to stop doing it, and if you tolerate it then you're not improving yourself.

That’s a very honest and moving post.

I was going to answer NO! to this thread, because I am enjoying not giving anywhere near as many fucks as when I was younger. But actually I would like to be more tolerant of people, so I’m (half) in.
