“If you can& #39;t handle me at my worst, then you don& #39;t deserve me at my best” is an immature and toxic mindset that stems from your own insecurity of not being able to accept the fact that, even you, can be very unbearable at times. (1/)

If your worst involves being emotionally immature, you sulk, you don’t communicate, you attack, you gaslight, you shame, you belittle, you invalidate or, or, or…. Then no sweetie, no is expected to “handle” that, nor should they have to. (2/)

It is a humbling thing to remember that we are all terribly flawed. We have our weaknesses and our gaps and have gone through a multitude of experiences that have twisted us in more ways than one. (3/)

We have to remember that we are human, and on several occasions, we will annoy our friends, hurt people we love, say things we did not mean, make very selfish choices and much more. No one is above these basic human experiences. (4/)

The best anyone could ever ask for, is for you to acknowledge your flaws, communicate them in a sensible and mature manner to your friend, partner or family member and simply work on how you react when you feel that emotional trigger creep up again. (5/5)
