The junk thing about mental illness and insecurities is that like... If you've learned how to cope and improve and better yourself, people that haven't been able to do so look at you like your struggles were less than theirs, like you're just naturally stronger of a person or that your struggles weren't as bad. Any advice you give is oversimplifying things. Any help you offer isn't rooted in reality. It's very frustrating to deal with.
#rambles#mom and i got in an argument a couple months ago abt making my sister take more responsibility for herself#i got mad bc my mom didn't let my sister do anything on her own#and when i argued back she was like 'well you're just DIFFERENT'#and it was like...#infuriating haha#tell an insecure person that they'd greatly benefit by not allowing themselves to wallow in negative thoughts and like#they'll get mad at you because 'you don't know what it's like. i can't help it'#when in reality you've dealt with insecurities guilt and negative thoughts for decades and you're still trying to control your thoughts#but no#my struggles are rendered invalid because i am 'built different'#like have you never once considered the idea that i wasn't built different i had to LEARN how to be different#sad to say the solution to insecurities and flawed thinking etc etc etc are all typically very very simple#but just because i say it's simple doesn't mean it's easy#you'll have to struggle and fail over and over and over again#it's so annoying#'you're different'#yeah you're just making excuses for yourself to not try#the reason why i have a hard time understanding characters like kaveh isn't because i haven't experienced similar things myself#it's specifically because i have that i can't understand why someone would want to stagnate in it
