You know that story, I can’t remember where it’s from, if it was tumblr or reddit, but this woman was a DM for a d&d group and gave her players, that were all men, golden star stickers for things like, showering, not talking over each other, being respectful, like basic shit like that, and I feel like I fell into something extremely similar and I just felt like a teacher/mom figure for this really big friend group that consisted of all men with bad social skills and there was a point where I wanted to distance myself and I didn’t really have a way and things happened in the friend group where I ended up like blocking everyone and I honestly feel so relieved

#my nature is just to be a nonconfrontational person bc I grew up in a place where I was never able to speak up #it this year I’ve been communicating more #even if it’s things that make me really uncomfortable #I just need to be at peace #it’s funny too bc I did end up being the DM for that group as well #but like they’re grown adults and not my responsibility #also I’ve been actively avoiding certain places bc I don’t want to run into any of them but I don’t care anymore and I’ll go where I want #like im just so tired of dealing with grown ass adults that act like 13 year olds #one would say really bad things just to upset people #and I tried explaining to him like 3 times why he can’t say the n word and he kept going and told me he saw it as teasing me #I just still can’t get over that #it’s so fucking ridiculous #its not rewarding trying to help shit people #it just wears you out
