@ade.knows: When did your ego become more important than doing what's right? You know you were wrong, but you won't apologise. You won't apologise because that feels like losing. You know you hurt them, but your pride whispers they hurt you first. You know you should take responsibility, but your ego says that's weakness. Why? Because admitting fault feels like defeat. Because saying sorry feels like surrender. Because your image matters more than their pain. But here's what's actually happening. The more you protect your image, the more you destroy your relationships. The more you defend your pride, the less respect people have for you. You'd rather be right than loved. And that's exactly why you'll end up alone.
