The Balancing Act of Heart and Accountability
What happens when you realize that you don't need to shoulder the emotional burdens of others, only to be called out for not taking responsibility for how your actions might affect them? Our latest episode takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the contentious yet enlightening world of personal accountability and emotional responsibility. We kick off with a story about a young woman who learns about this liberating concept, only for the narrative to flip when she challenges me on my own accountability. My response is raw, unfiltered, and perhaps a touch too real, as we dissect the intricate balance between self-regulation and being mindful of others' feelings.
This episode is a candid examination of the societal shift towards prioritizing emotional independence, yet paradoxically expecting others to handle our emotional needs. We ponder whether people truly grasp the weight of their words and expectations, particularly when they clash with earlier beliefs about emotional self-sufficiency. It’s an exploration of the contradictions and challenges we face as we navigate personal growth amidst complex interpersonal dynamics. Join us as we reflect on our own experiences and question how we approach accountability and emotional resilience in our daily lives.
I have definitely reached a new fucking level in me. What fucking planet am I living on? Okay, I have a conversation with a girl. She's younger than me, right, and she's telling me a personal life I hear it all the time, you know whatever. And she actually says to me I feel so much better because I'm learning that I don't have to be responsible for other people's feelings. It's up to other people to regulate their emotions, not me to do or control what I'm doing based on their emotion. Good for you, I'm really proud of you. Great, glad you're doing this.
Speaker 1:The conversation I had today I said something. She didn't like it. You know what she says to me oh, you can't be bothered with my emotions because you're not ready to take accountability for how your actions make me feel. Okay, listen up. Fucking she her pronoun person.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't know what the fuck prompted this. Okay, but first of all, you're blocking off the wrong fucking tree with that one number one. Number two my job has nothing to do with your emotions or your feelings. I've never even seen you face to face. Okay, so like I don't even know where this is coming from. But since we're gonna go here, let me explain something to you. You're not entitled to anything different than anybody else, nor am I. Okay, my job is to make sure I don't fucking kill somebody and to make sure, basically, that, like my family, is taken care of. Outside of that, I don't give a fuck about you and I don't give a fuck about your emotions or your feelings. Okay, you were seriously owning up to your own fucking therapy or whatever the fuck it was before about. Oh, I'm finally not gonna let people fucking their emotions bother me, and the actions of other people are gonna not change my emotion. I don't. Honestly, I don't even know all this psycho fucking babble.
Speaker 1:Okay, here's what it comes down to. You don't like what somebody says. Fucking ignore them. Ignore them. If you can't ignore them, go see a fucking therapist who will help you learn how to fucking ignore somebody. There's nothing wrong with having mental health issues. We all do. I do.
Speaker 1:I'm fucking cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. I'm not even going to lie to you, okay, but don't come at me telling me that I'm unable to take accountability for the things that I do or say. Look at half of my TikTok. I I have no problem calling somebody fucking out. I'm a complete douchebag. I'm a complete asshole. I know it. I absolutely fucking know it. You can't handle it. Then don't talk to me. I'm so like I don't even really know what to say anymore. I really don't. Do people know that they're talking like this? That like five minutes ago you were saying that you, you, you don't, there's no responsibility for other people's feelings, and now you want me to fucking send you a tampon because your feelings got hurt. You can't have it both ways. You can't have it fucking both ways. Holy fuck. I liked it better when we were all fucking sneaking out into the woods drinking fucking boons forms and somebody fucking pissed you off. You beat the shit out of them and then you were like best friends for the rest of your fucking life, holy shit.
