Naivety, anger, impatience, jealousy, abruptness… It’s not fun being around those, but I can generally take a deep breath and not let it affect me too much.
But pure contempt? I can’t stand it. It gets to me every time. Makes me climb the walls. I cannot not react. Even if I know that behind contempt lies fear, insecurity and self-hatred.
Contempt brings pain. It brings more contempt. That’s all it ever accomplishes.
