    You’re forgetting about words that come from society as a whole. Those are a hell of a lot harder to disregard than ones made by an individual.

        Society used to say that slavery was great. It made a huge difference to the slaves and those who profited from slavery.

        But go ahead so brave with your 0 fucks. Society is made up of individuals!!! Genius brain.

          What are u arguing here? That we should listen to society or that we shouldn’t? If we do then we have ur point of society loved slavery. If we don’t then we are back to not giving a fuck what society thinks hence what they say can’t hurt you.

          Have ur fuckibg cake or eat it not both.

            You’re such an asshole, it’s comical. Like you just go out of your way to be hateful for no real reason.

                The fact that you unironically use the phrase “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” just shows how much of a muppet you are. It is physically impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
