#ooc.#i take a teeny tiny bit of an issue abt this post going around#saying we aren’t responsible for each others happiness#and like you shouldn’t reassure people that you love them or care bc like#on a deeply human level arent we responsible for each other?#sometimes the more i see content about how we don’t owe each other anything or we aren’t obligated to do things it rubs me weird bc like#no you’re right we don’t and we aren’t responsible for each others feelings#and self regulation and taking care of yourself is so important but also like#i feel as though we have a duty to love each other and if someone IS feeling sad or left behind or something#like…. choose kindness? and it’s ok to WANT to know that you’re loved and remembered?#it’s okay to feel self conscious and sad and it’s okay to check in and make sure things are chill#idk the older i get the more this ‘i don’t owe you things’ mentality kind of makes me sad because we are such a community oriented species#and it’s ok to want reassurance#it’s also okay to not want to give it but also like idk#i’m not making sense that post just made me feel weird#if you’re here for yourself that’s fine and if you don’t want to engage with people in such a way that’s also totally fine but#idk there’s a fine line between holding people accountable for self regulation and such#and isolating / alienating people who might need a smidge more connection?#idk ignore me
