Would you like to be treated like that?

Based on many other things, and that was my first response too, I don't think they are capable of self reflection enough for that to sink in.

Seems to be a worrying trend these days.

Unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, they're treating people poorly because they either expect to be or think they deserve to be treated like that too. They justify their self-hatred by projecting it onto other people.

The answer you'll hear is, "Well, no, but SOMEONE has to tell them the truth."
