Sometimes… sometimes I wonder how someone can look at another person, hear that they’re struggling, and then somehow make it about themselves. Subtle enough that it’s not “who cares, let’s talk about me” but direct enough that the other person has to swallow down anger and frustration as to not escalate the situation

#I’m not feeling great. we all know this yes okay #how does me sharing that my elbow hurts lead to you asking if I can even go to the concert with you if I’m feeling so shitty #what does these two things have to do with each other #also how is that the priority? I paid for my own ticket. I’m not costing anyone else money if I don’t go #also when did I ever say I’m not going??? when did I even as much as hint at it??#because I am going. we’re still going. me being on sick leave isn’t changing that #I need things to look forward to as well. therapist’s order actually #but like. sure. how does my acute stress and burnout affect YOU. and your plans #even if you wrap it in ‘I’m worried about you’ vibes I can still see what you mean #if YOU don’t wanna go that’s fine. just say so. I’ll go without you #if it’s because you’re worried I’ll abandon you just say that #I’ll reassure you #am I rambling because I’m sensitive? yes #misha rants
