@drmicktok: Something to keep in mind if you feel like a burden to those close to you. #MentalHealth #therapy #therapist #ama #friendship #relationships
So, yes technically you're correct but you're leaving out social conventions on what's acceptable and yes they are toxic, but they exist so need to be accounted for.

I've made it a habit to say "thank you for listening; I'm sure you have your own stuff going on" instead of "Sorry for x y or z" it's been much better

So this kinda explains how being a people pleaser is actually being a manipulator too..? I gotta find exercises to do to stop ppl pleasing then

I'm not particularly happy right now knowing that I needed to hear this, but thank you regardless. Do you think it's okay to ask if I'm being a burden so I can try to develop better communication?

"but that doesn't mean that everybody is not willing to hear my emotional experience"
how many does it take then? how many times do I have to reach out and burn for it before I'm allowed to accept-

I know I have a bunch of mental health issues, and one of them is seeing patterns or behavior… 1 relevant to this topic is: people’s behavior around me change when I share too much or have an upset…

This was something my therapist told me that really felt impactful. That it isn't fair for me to decide what other people think or feel. It doesn't always help but it sure as hell stuck with me.

This is SO HARD FOR CHILDREN OF NEGLECT TO GET OVER!!! 😭 In therapy right now and learning to lean on my support system is super hard.

one time a dear friend toldme that its unfair of me to assume they would think such mean thoughts about me, someone they loved, and to take away their ability to love and care for me.

The hard thing is finding that sense of community and support system that’s willing to listen. My family tend to not take what I say seriously, and my friends don’t always know what to say.

His shame in talking about his problems is a near clinical definition of a symptom of CPTSD.

My “best friend”, would change the subject or question from how are you feeling to how’s your body feeling. And I just disconnected with him from there. While he was on a healing journey had books

The people I've entrusted with my emotions have all bailed on me. The people that I don't talk about my emotions with but prioritize escapism have been close friends for nearly 2 decades.

Naw. If someone wanted to know about the nonsense happening in my head, they'd ask. Since no one does, it's perfectly reasonable to assume they don't want to know.

I’m totally down with this, but what do you if people basically NEVER bring those boundaries up and they just disappear from your life?

There is a cutscene in Final Fantasy: Rebirth that I feel everyone could benefit from watching.
It's a flashback to the Seventh Haven bar. Wedge, Jessie, Tifa, Biggs and Barret are talking 1/2

I'm not sure I agree here. If I share my emotional state with someone, and put the onus on them to tell me they aren't comfortable, how is that fair? They'd feel like a dick telling me "sorry but no,
