 I’ve made peace with it at this point and don’t expect or desire a different outcome, but many of my family members owe me a massive apology for the Covid era. 

The funny thing is that they are likely awaiting an apology from me lol 

It will never happen. 

I was right. 

Even if I was abrasive and unkind I will not apologize for being right. 

The truth is too damn important. 
 Yeah man. I feel you

 Christmas will never be quite the same again… 
 🤔 .. So, what's the plan? 
"I told you so"s? 
Apologising for being abrasive and unkind?
Or standing firm in the knowledge that you were right, still crying about how you're not expecting or desiring a different outcome, like a massive apology?

I don't know... you do you... 🤙🏼 
 “People may not remember what you said, but they remember how you made them feel” 
 Tame your Ego. 
 "Stay humble" isn't one of Hodl's most often used phrases 😂 
 The ego is a tool. You use it where it suits you. 
 "Who needs apologies when you have the satisfaction of being right? Keep standing your ground, no need to conform to anyone else's expectations. Truth always prevails in the end. 🙌" 
 I had the same problem. they are a idiots 
 Same here. Agreed. Stick to the truth.  
 💯 agree, someday I'll have my family listen to this so they at least understand how people like us feel

 Those people go in The Box. They're deleted and overwritten with zeros. It's very efficient. 
 Nope, never will. I even have an ex-gf who refuses to accept that the lab leak is the most likely explanation for how it started & clings onto the unbelievable story of it coming from a market in the VERY SAME city as the lab that was doing experiments on this exact type of virus. She once sent a NTY article that supported the market heory & debunked the lab leak to her brother & told him he was an asshole for being a conspiracy theorist because he said the virus came from the lab. I've blocked her from contacting me 🤷‍♂️ 
 My mom was into the whole making everyone get the jab…. Usually I just let stuff pass me by, not worth the effort. 

I was willing to die on that hill though, it was quite a schism between us for a minute there
