This is why I will become a Supervillain

[lliira]

The following exchange has happened way too often in my life:

Person (almost always a girl or woman): X is maybe being shitty and making me feel shitty and I've told them the problems and they won't change. *lists examples of X being incredibly terribly shitty to the nth degree* Are they actually being shitty or should I stop having any feelings at all, because I have been raised to believe I am disallowed from having feelings?

Me: X is being so shitty. SO shitty. Your feelings are more than justified.

Person: More about X being shitty, worry about having feelings/being "irrational".

Me: X is being shitty. You are more than justified in your feelings and are totally rational.

Person: Okay, but I should let X continue to be totally shitty toward me because I don't want to hurt their feelings.

Me: *looks up how to make an earthquake machine*

Oh man, I regret to inform you I am definitely Person here

But it's not your fault! I get frustrated at Person, but not angry with them really, I understand why they're acting like that and the person I'm truly angry with is the person treating them like shit. But I have no clue what to do. Therefore supervillainy is my only option.
