At some point, it stops being surprising. It stops being offensive. It even stops being interesting. The pattern becomes so repetitive that it explains itself without me needing to argue against it.
You keep returning to the same topic, the same person, the same resentment, and the same need to make me relevant in your own life. There is only so long someone can pretend that is accountability before it starts looking like dependency.
That is the part I think people miss. This is not about criticism. Criticism has a point. Criticism has direction. Criticism is supposed to lead somewhere. What this has become is just routine. A habit. A loop. A repeated need to find relevance by keeping someone else's name in your mouth.
After years of it, I do not really care in the way you probably want me to care. I am not shocked. I am not wounded. I am not scrambling to defend myself. I am simply pointing at the pattern because the pattern has become louder than the words inside it.
