Maturity is when you stop wasting time convincing people to treat you correctly. You just start to observe their choices, understand their character, and decide what you’re going to allow in your life.

This is true on the surface, but since apathy carries such a negative connotation, I feel it's important to clarify that, we employ apathy and, similarly, narcissism when we prioritize our own self-interest. The type of people who don't are usually codependent, people-pleasers at their own expense.
i also think, the key to understanding people in general, is knowing you never will, and that the answer can be a contradiction, when it come to how a person is
God, it took me so long because I thought that I had to do everything I could first. I did, but what a waste of MY time, bc abusers never change. Now it's easy. I don't try to convince anyone. I just listen. Then I know.
