@drewdevault @philpem @jonathan Soft Rejection is in my estimation way too overused in US Culture. It's certainly warranted in a few circumstances, but it's also fetishicised by popular culture, and almost never leaves any room for reconciliation.

I mean, not all people are seeking reconciliation, and sometime total estrangement is the appropriate and necessary course of action, but it's also an option that in my estimation is too eagerly chosen in modern society.

Why can't we recognize and uplift each other's humanity? Why can't we find a way to use shame to bring reconciliation instead of fuel for estrangement?
