They aren't always insensitive. They are mostly "sarcastic" and "brutally honest". Without understanding how deep their insensitivity is affecting you. The worst is, even you feel they are right. Because you always have been insecure about yourself; you were never enough. And their comments are reaffirming these. Making you believe that you are the worst person the planet has ever borne.
Do you know what the worst part is though? You still love them. You try to be sarcastic and brutally honest, because you think that's how people should be. You ignore the fact that it has affected you and it could affect others too. Or maybe, you have always been an insensitive person yourself, and their influence is only making you a bigger AH than you ever were.
It becomes your norm. Until you learn about kindness. Until you meet people who are kind and humble and do not shove their insecurity onto others in the name of sarcasm.
And then you realise this is what you ought to be; this is what you have to strive for - a kind person. And this is what the whole wide world deserves - nothing but kindness. You understand how toxic this whole brutally honest nonsense had been, and also learn that you can still be honest, without being hurtful. You learn to accept people as they are and just let them be.
And that's when you realise you can live without these insensitive people who have been nothing but bad influence. They might have been great in other areas, but kindness takes you a long way, and this person just doesn't get it, so you could live without them.
You choose peace and happiness over their disappointment and chaos they have been shoving into your face. You are better now, and you'd finally start loving yourself, a little bit each day.
