Yes, this has gone on before. No, it isn't new. But don't try to tell me that people thinking it's ok to do this has nothing whatsoever to do with the messaging and behavior of public figures and leaders. Looking at you, Fox News and Trump and his enablers.

ReplyDeleteMeh.
ReplyDeleteI wish... Well I wish that there wasn't that much but I also wish I could help you out.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteI got sucked into talking to my mother. I'm an idiot. I really have to stop feeling like other people's feelings are any responsibility of mine at all. It's like somewhere along the line I got convinced I should apologize for my existence causing inconvenience to the rest of existence. These people are energy vampires and it's like I'm walking around going oh, sure, help yourself to my energy, it's not like there's anything useful for me to do with it. And sometimes the tiny thinking part of my brain tries to stop me. Poor tiny thinking brain, it's so sad.
ReplyDeleteP.S. It's not like talking to my dad is a real treat these days, either.
