That's how I feel. I don't have empathy for people who are over 25 who act like children. And yet people tell me I 'lack empathy' for someone throwing a temper tantrum in public over some perceived slight or their hamburger having 1 less pickle they think it should.
But I just end the relationship. I can't respect people who refuse to take responsibility for themselves. Once I realize they aren't going to do that, I am no longer interacting with the person. And there is a significant number of people who go through life never taking responsibility for their actions and blaming other people for their mistakes. What I can't understand is why other people like those people... but often they do because they are charming on the surface.
What kind of responsibilities? What you see as responsibilities might be unnecessary things for other person
the idea that actions have consequences.
look at ozempic. everyone loves it at first! miracle drug for weight loss! but the issue is... people go it, then go off it, and gain the weight back because they have changed nothing about their lifestyle. They have just tried to cheat the consequences of their choices rather than doing the hard work of changing their lifestyle.
so unless people plan to stay on ozempic the rest of their life... the will still be subjected to being overweight because that is what they have chosen. a responsible person chooses to chane their life style. an irresponsible person complains and whines about how hard their life is because they are fat and they can't stop eating bad foods.

No, i'm taking about people who use it to lose weight without having to diet or exercise. not diabetes patients who use it for it's intended purpose instead of it's side-effects.
people who use it this way are not supposed to use it long term, let alone the rest of their life. they simple see it as something to use for six months, drop the weight, and then go right back to where they were six months ago.
Maybe they have a mental problem and other stress factors and it is hard to break the cycle? Maybe they dont mind being fat?
