I assume they just talk about how it is somehow your fault?

Yeah, when we have difficulties, it is best to tell them only to those who might be able to actually help, without judgement.

OR, if we have something we enjoy, it is best to share only with like-minded people cause they are less likely to try to ruin it for us.

@HoeBag worse than that. They take actions abt it which make the whole situation more complicated and disturbing

@Foxygirl32 I know when we are going through something, we naturally want to get it off our chest.

But yeah we have to be careful who we tell.

In my family whenever someone was going through an ordeal, we always said, "Don't tell dad" even though we were all well over 21. 😄

@Foxygirl32 You could be a member of our family. 🤣

My family used to tell me "Don't tell dad" even though I had not spoke to my dad since 2011.
