Dismissive people

One of the worst things about anxiety is when other people don’t take your feelings seriously.

My father has been doing that all my life. Yesterday I was on the phone with him, and he did it again.

In general, men do that more than women do. Even Mr. Kat does it, somewhat.

What if I have good reasons to be anxious? What if I’m right? (That does happen occasionally - me being right.)

Even if I’m wrong - and I really hope I’m wrong - your obvious impatience when trying to “reassure” me hurts.

Hey Kat, u aren't imagining anything. Mister Kat is pretty ordinary I am sure and men are more cut-off than women from reality itself

I don't know how any woman can live with one, really don't. My parents married for conventionality and look at me..sheeeesh..is there ONE conventional thing I do here...ONE??

Alone is TORTURE though

yup-up-up-up

Thanks Kat and good luck with that promotion!
