What would you consider the most unforgivable thing that a person could do to you? Something that someone could do, that they could never take back?

If it has been done to you, what happened? How did you treat that person afterward, if you kept in contact with them? If you didn't, do you regret ever severing off from them?

Have you done anything unforgivable? How did people respond to that--did they let you get a word in edge-wise to explain, or did they abandon you? Did you have to find your own way afterwards? How did it go for you, if so?

Do you think there's anything that one can do to earn forgiveness, depending on the severity of what happened? Do they deserve it? Does it depend? And is there a certain point that someone's allowed to give up on trying to find it, and should just stop trying to be good?

I'm curious as to what everyone's answers will be. Please don't give anymore info than you're comfortable with; these are just things that have been on my mind, lately. And please don't be rude to each other.

I do appreciate it. I'm used to people drawing their own conclusions and being coached through my own responses, so it's a little strange to be so candidly asked. It is something I appreciate, though.

...And I only ask that because I really can't trust my own judgement on such things. I've spent so long sanding myself down into what I've been needed to be, that I'm not sure if there's anything left, if I can be truthful. Really, I don't even know if I deserve to be here with you all right now.

But I get what you're saying.

[There's a long pause after, the typing bubble saying up for quite some time, before a message comes through.]

I understand that, though. Wanting something so selfishly with all of your being, even if the bridge is burned and the metaphorical vase is smashed. I spent a lot of my life chasing something similar, even if I don't know what I did wrong to start it all off.

...I don't know what it is I want at the end of it all, but I do appreciate you sharing your perspective with me. Understanding the world around me is difficult, and it probably will be that way for me forever.

But...thank you, I guess. That's what I want to say most of all.
