I was struggling with appropriate tags for this post, to be honest.

Negging, lol.

I think we're all terrible people sometimes and I don't know if it would be the best for us to try not to be all the time. Like for instance, if you are breaking up with someone, you're going to hurt them. That's kind of the inevitability of the act. In that way you could be regarded as "terrible" or feel that you are "terrible" because you are causing harm. However, for your own happiness, that harm becomes necessary. Otherwise you stay in a terrible relationship, or at least, one that isn't right for you - and the consequences for all will probably be more painful down the road.

I think we have to accept some of the pain we inflict in life as inevitable.
