I was brought up to value the ability to ignore hurtful comments. That story- that it is a sign of maturity or sanity or something to let hurtful comments go- has led to some of the moments in life I regret most.

It feels like there is something really important in this 3-tweet thread--but I am struggling to understand what you are saying. I get the idea of regret as clarifying--very wise framing. But what does the practice of ignoring hurtful comments have to do with it?

That’s a personal regret of mine, the times I’ve ignored very hurtful comments. And so that regret is teaching me how I want to be in the world, which is grounded and able to be authentic in response when people try to hurt me.
