Would it be better if they say "Sorry I'm just a bitch"?
Yeah. While still not good, at least toxic self-deprecation/self-critical fatalism is more sympathetic than complete abdication of responsibility 🤷
Nah, there’s no self deprecation in that. It’s more like they’re just rationalizing their shitty behavior ahead of time by pretending they have a characteristic that’s entirely out of their control.
“Sorry I’m just [choosing to be] a bitch” is more accurate.
I'm with you most of the way (hence why I used words like "not good" and "toxic"), but who said anything about ahead of time?
Worked with a couple people over the years who straight out said they are hard to deal with. Had much less problems with them than those who said "they could work with anyone"
More realistic.
"Look, I'm not good with people, especially when I find them annoying. So if you think I'm a bitch it's just because I don't like you 💖"
