I’ve been told it’s human to make mistakes, and that I have a disproportionate amount of guilt tied to mistakes I’ve made in the past. I’ve had friends, who while someone is venting about an acquaintance or a partner, will jump to “cut them off” or “break up.”

This makes me feel all sorts of conflicted, because I have been through rough patches before I was on antidepressants where I wasn’t a good friend or maybe even person, but I’m lucky to have people around me who stuck by me and are proud of the man I am now regardless of my past, even though I did have others who did cut me off.

Where is your “line”? What do you think of people who take most things as a red flag? Do you have personal experiences on the matter you’d like to share?
