        No, I'm not. I have no power over you or right to expect anything from you.

        But I'm not going to pretend that I'm not still disappointed by having to look in the mirror and see a bit of that same unkindness in myself.

            I'm sorry you feel that way. But I'm not projecting. I'm seeing my own misbehavior reflected back at me. It sucks and it hurts, but I'd rather be able to see it for what it is than remain blind to the way we are influenced by the people around us.

            I'll leave you alone, now. You have the right to disengage. I'm sorry if I didn't initially respect that.

          Who even are you? How can you have expectations for a complete stranger?
