When I just don't care about something but people will accuse me of jealousy so I just act interested.

Just trying to prevent people from projecting their emotions on me. Basically just trying to prevent myself from getting annoyed so I can protect everybody's peace.

I say you do you. I reached a point where I just don't care or take responsibility for other people's neurosis. If someone's petty I don't associate, I laugh, or I tell them.

Good thing is they either respect that or they leave. I know you can't always do that but generally speaking I find being true to yourself to be worth it.

@Ryannnnnn I admire that. I'm still at that stage that I prefer to hide my feelings and thoughts at times. But it's definitely worth it to be free from this I guess.
