People are taking to the internet…to the airwaves…discussing on podcasts…
“Am I the Jerk?”
(actually on TikTok the trend is to ask “Am I the @**h***?”)
I mean, if you have to ask…
YES.
Or at least you’ve played a part in the story, situation, experience that’s being analyzed that lends to jerkiness.
Honestly, are you asking because you sincerely care or wonder if you’re the jerk?
Or is it a way to get attention and validation – a veiled way to show how you are a victim in a situation?
My questions to the asker are:
Who am I kidding? We’re all “the jerk” sometimes. How human of us!
So it’s apropos to also spend some time figuring out for ourselves how to take accountability for our actions, words and life and when to offer apologies when we’re the @**h***.
