The Situation

"His group makes sexist jokes and he won't speak up"

The Brutal Truth

His silence shows he prioritizes group approval over your values. He may not be ready to challenge toxic behavior and lacks the strength to stand with you against sexism. Ultimately, he doesn't respect you enough to speak up.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might downplay this behavior, convincing themselves that it's just a joke and he doesn't mean anything by it. This makes excuses for him while ignoring their own discomfort, which is dangerous to self-esteem.
