Or they're being a therapist for them. sometimes we can't help but be overcome by emotions. In those moments I find it's usually best to retreat to a safe space and hide out for a bit until the storm passes, then maybe return to the world a bit more fatigued but less... spicy. those moments show that you need more emotional support, both from yourself and from others. If the people in your life cannot help you, and you cannot help yourself... then yeah you're probably gonna hurt people around you. Plan as such and figure out how to still be a good person, it's up to each of us to do it in our own way. ... at least, that's how I look at it for my own life, feel free to disagree or anything ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1332 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-803 ah I see. like, hiding their emotions from others and acting in such a way that is disconnected from their inner tumultuous truth? Like, a form of deception. That makes sense to me, if I understand correctly. I think you're also saying it's additionally with the idea that their masked actions use other people to generate responses that they want. I think I see what you mean. "I don't care if you're fine, I need you to be sad with me" that kinda thing right? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1333 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-944 @user-803 I'm sorry that what I said resonated with you : ( ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1334 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: TMI-medical-issue-thing-don't-worry-about-it │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ subconsciously running your hand over your butt every time you stand up to make sure you didn't pee your pants ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1335 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-803 you're welcome! thanks for speaking the things you say.
