Just like I wish subtitles for people existed

I wish there was a social battery sign above my head that lets people know how many bars are left, idc how awkward it makes things. that way i can just get up and walk off without explaining myself and go home.

My therapist: Or you could communicate your feelings?

Me: no. they should already know how i am *gets up and walks off*

Some people can see those subtitles and bars. It’s an advantage of emotional intelligence. You need someone like that I say.

@Pressure It does take some good understanding of people to determine who can handle the raw you and who can’t. Most of the time you have to fake things and keep your more authentic self to your closer friends you know well.

I find the best thing is you should think just enough to say what you mean. Don’t be emotional and impulsive without any thought, but don’t overthink it either to the point your truth is lost in the excessive filter you put on.

If he can’t handle that level of honesty from you, then he’s not a true friend anyways and he has to learn how to become one. You’re a good person wanting to be there for him, but you probably already know that you can only help those who help themselves. If he’s not willing to care for himself, then he’ll just drag you down with him.

@Reject do you have such a way with words by the way

@Pressure Aww. Thank you Pressure! 🤗 I’m most eloquent in writing, but I have my moments in person too. It’s just nice to have your company.
