I think we've all come across people who would rather sprint hard in the other direction than hold their hands up and admit they made a mistake.
A neighbour did it with me... Nothing on the scale of needing an NDA, but she couldn't apologise or even face she'd made an mistake. She avoided me for about 3 years cos she couldn't look me in the eye, then randomly passed the time of day with me while out with her dog recently... Now she's back to breezy neighbour, presumably thinking it's been long enough.
If she'd said sorry it would have been forgiven and forgotten within a day week. Mad how she'd rather avoid me for 3 years to avoid one simple word to repair things.
For the record she'd damaged my lawn and bumped my visitors car (no damage). Visitor didn't kick off or mind really, lawn grew back, no big deal. I'm non scary and didn't demand an apology it just would have been nice. She still couldn't do it.
The fact you're fresh out of witnessing/being on the receiving end of one of these people and that's the catalyst for your musings on what kind of mind it takes to do this is irrelevant and not sure why people are thinking that situation needs to be offered for an examination before they can consider the concept of personal responsibility avoidant people.
I also can't wrap my head around the kind of thought processes you would have to 🙈🙉🙉🙈🙉🙈🙉🙈 the effects of your behaviour - Totally ignore the pain someone else has suffered and breeze on with the rest of your life, still sleeping soundly at night.
But you see people do it, mostly on a low level scale, but it happens on all levels, so it is definitely in the scope of 'this is human'.
I see it, but I don't understand it and I'm really grateful non of my family are that way inclined. My friends aren't either, but that's easier cos I wouldn't be friends with them if they were. 😁
