This is absolutely 100% you. You always have some excuse or become defensive when someone calls you out on your behavior. Here's how you prevent that situation: DON'T BE AN IRRESPONSIBLE ASSHOLE IN THE FIRST PLACE!! Do you always want to answer to people when they get pissed at you? No you don't. That's why you constantly make excuses for yourself after-the-fact. You think you can do anything you want and get away with it because you'll just excuse yourself away. That's not…

We get defensive when we are afraid of rejection. We get defensive when we feel attacked. In both cases, it is our job to recognize our tendency to get defensive, and to put the armor down. / Kathy Overman

Mishandling people, then avoiding communication, is not protecting your peace; it's avoiding accountability.
