That last sentence is exactly what I think / how I behave. If my actions/choices hurt someone, it's absolutely my fault and "warning" them in no way absolves me or dilutes responsibility but if by "warning" them I can reduce the harm (from some potential miscommunication) then that is absolutely preferable to me than to unexpectedly harm someone to save my own mask.

That’s good. It’s rough though, I really have to be selective about who I share with because sometimes it’s really changes the friendship dynamic. Relationships are hard

I wish I could see statistics on how many conflicts are actually just based in misunderstanding
