Yeah. While still not good, at least toxic self-deprecation/self-critical fatalism is more sympathetic than complete abdication of responsibility 🤷

Nah, there’s no self deprecation in that. It’s more like they’re just rationalizing their shitty behavior ahead of time by pretending they have a characteristic that’s entirely out of their control.

“Sorry I’m just [choosing to be] a bitch” is more accurate.

I'm with you most of the way (hence why I used words like "not good" and "toxic"), but who said anything about ahead of time?
