It's so hard to open up to people who are bitter in nature. I think that they carry so much bitterness that every interaction feels like a scheme towards them. I sometimes wonder who in the world have hurt them this much that they are not willing to lower their pride in order to gain connection. It feels like a huge wall that they have built for themselves to avoid any sense of interaction, not caring if it was good or bad. As my mind have slowly matured, I lose the anger that I carry towards bitter people. I truly think that they have been through moments where they are left misunderstood which led them to close themselves off the world in order to protect themselves. Therefore, I always ask myself to be patient to these people and never retaliate. Not all people have the same level of self-awareness as each other, so in the end of the day, what matters most is how I react to them rather than how they react to me.
