Hold The Line For Yourself

Beware of people who are incapable of apologizing.

Who are incapable of admitting they were wrong.

Who would rather twist the storythan take responsibility.

Because it’s not just pride.

It’s a fracture in character.

…and if you stay around it long enough it will start to fracture you.

These people don’t want truth.

They want control.

They need to be right, not because they are, but because being right protects the illusion that they’re the good guy.

That illusion…

It feeds their ego.

It keeps their world intact.

It makes them feel powerful without ever having to grow.

So when they screw up?

They won’t own it.

They’ll flip it.

They’ll deflect.

They’ll say anything or do anything to convince you that you were the problem.

…and if you’re not careful?

You’ll believe it.

You’ll start questioning your gut.

You’ll start analyzing every word you say.

You’ll start wondering if you’re the broken one because every conflict ends with you carrying weight that was never yours.

That’s how dangerous they are.

It’s not always loud…

It’s not always violent…

Sometimes it’s quiet…

Strategic.

Disguised as “I just want to talk” when what they really want is to win the narrative.

They don’t want resolution.

They want celebration.

They want to walk away clean while you’re left bleeding and apologizing for it.

If you keep people like that in your life you need to understand it’s not just toxic…

Its corrosive.

It will drain your confidence.

It will make distort your identity.

It will diminish your self worth.

It will slowly separate you from the version of yourself that used to feel clear, solid, and self-directed.

So pay close attention.

Anyone who needs to be right at the cost of your peace, your voice, your truth isn’t safe to associate with.

Because when it all goes sideways…

…they won’t stand beside you.

They’ll throw you under the bus and stand over you and spin it like they were the hero all along.

You’re not broken.

They just can’t handle the truth without rewriting it.

…and if you realize one of these people is in your life understand they don’t change.

Don’t negotiate.

Don’t try to fix them.

Remove them.

Completely.

Without guilt.

Because if you don’t…

…they won’t just rewrite the story.

They’ll rewrite you.

Remember who the fuck you are and hold the line for yourself.

Nobody is going to do it for you.
