I have encountered this analogy irl. I was pretty drunk and said something distasteful to a friend. She ended our friendship over it and caused the group we were in to split into factions. We tried talking it over, but after I made all efforts I could to apologise, she responded with the plate analogy.

Honestly I thinks its a bad position to take. People have wronged me too over the years. Forgiving them, regardless of them apologising or not, is, in my experience, the better option for yourself.

The hate you carry with you if you don't doesn't do anything to them, but it eats you up from the inside. Forgiving somebody frees you from that. It's not about forgetting what people have done to you (and maybe choosing not to keep them in your life depending on how bad it was that they did), it's about not carrying the hate with you trough the years.

I don't get it, were you a plate this whole time?

"You knew what I meant, fuck off out of my life."

Think of how resistant we will all be aoon as the plastic takes over our bodies!

If you've ever hurt some one badly enough to cause a break in the relationship, you know the apology is just the start to the repair.

The plate wasn't a little bitch like you.

Except that we’re not plates, and most of us aren’t so fragile that we cannot recover from being emotionally distraught.

haha infantilizing emotional trauma is great for relationships

This is deep. The more makeup you use, the less you have a right to your imperfections.

which one are you?
