Re: The DNW that made you want to know the backstory

I feel like I've seen this kind of thing so many times online. "I wouldn't care if someone did this to me!" Well, most people do, which is why we teach kids it's rude. "So, what, I can't say what I want on my own account?" You can, people will just find it rude and react accordingly.

It's just pure egocentrism in the literal sense of the word: elevating personal preference to universal preference. These people's understanding of interpersonal rules of engagement never grew past kindergarten-level "Treat others as you would like to be treated". Because otherwise you'd have to actually decide what behavior is correct and what behavior isn't based on complex factors like impact, intent, harm, etc., and that's way too complicated./s

The "I wouldn't care if someone did this to me!" is often not true either; it's just a really convenient way to excuse your own rude behavior.

Not always, of course, but plenty of times when it DOES actually happen to them, then obviously it IS terrible and the person who's doing it is the worst.

A close relative is like this and the obvious double standards for how X is upsetting when done to her but not upsetting when done by her to others are one big reason I've considered going no-contact.
