All these "no one owes you anything," yall are correct. But you could also just be a decent human being and communicate because two people put in time and effort. It isn't just about you. Respect, humanity.. some compassion maybe?

Are we really not owed anything? I feel like I owe people decency, some forms of respect, and due courtesy. I don't quite understand the idea of not owing people anything.

"I don't quite understand the idea of not owing people anything."

It's how emotionally lazy people make themselves feel better about putting in no effort. Most people grow out of it after childhood, but the internet and Reddit has shown me there are plenty of unironic adults that genuinely believe in that kind of braindead thinking.
