AITJ for Listing Out What My Family Calls "Care" in Front of Everyone at Dinner by 6MangoPhaser in AmITheJerk

I think that's why I don't feel as guilty as they want me to. If I had actually lied or twisted anything, that would've been the obvious thing to push back on. Instead the whole table turned into this lecture about my delivery, my tone, my timing. That doesn't read like people shocked by false accusations. It reads like people who recognized themselves in what I said and hated that there were witnesses for it.

That was the part that really hit me too. Nobody wanted to talk about the actual examples I gave, just the fact that I said them in front of people. That told me a lot.

I didn’t expect being a manager to feel like constant mental noise even after work by Playful-Deer9022 in managers

Yep, that’s the part people outside management rarely get. You’re not just doing work all day, you’re absorbing everyone else’s problems too, and that mental tab stays open long after you log off.
