I mean honestly adults are very confused human beings ,no offense to the adults reading this.
Explain and excuse are the same goddamn thing.
When you tell me to “explain myself” maybe when I do something you thought was wrong then I started “explaining myself” thinking after my explanation you’ll understand me and you open your so called ‘mouth’ to say “stop giving excuses”… Pause, rewind.
Like the shit got me asking “Are you familiar with your dictionary?” It legitely says excuse is a reason or *explanation* given to justify a faultor offence and explain is the act of giving a reason so as to justify or *excuse*. Stop confusing yourselves.

Don’t *explain* yourselves , trust me it is way better.
