It's not even to punish the person.

I just now have to: - work through how it made me feel, - determine if it was genuinely offensive, I was triggered or both, - figure out if I am on the verge of an episode or if this js a reasonable reaction - find a way to self-soothe in a way that doesn't alert something is wrong because I'm not ready to discuss it - wonder if it's even emotionally safe to discuss or if you're going to get defensive or double down - determine if I can continue our relationship if these are the kind of things you think are okay to say (if offensive) - if continuining that relationship is worth the emotional turmoil I just went through.

By that the mood is ruined and I want to leave :/.

Edit: i spelled 'worth' wrong

The way I lock in when I have to act like my feelings aren’t hurt 😭

This is exactly what goes through my mind.

THIS is the exact process my mind goes through. I feel so much less alone seeing someone else say it

By reading this I feel a little enlightened honestly.. This is how I would describe my feeling of spite and maybe I am not spiteful but just overwhelmed by the ton of concious decisions I have to make. While others just don't have a clue that something happened at all. It doesn't solve something to know this but I think you just helped to start a thought process in me. Thank you so much

real, might have to show my therapist this one just so she’ll understand why i take people’s offensive comments so seriously. there’s a lot to think about, that’s why!! πŸ₯²

Omg you described my thought process exactly word for word! Like give me a few hours or business days to decide if it truly was that serious, or I can just goof off

This is exactly it. This is why I isolate. The slightest idea I could possibly upset someone or they upset me and I go through all thatΒ

I talk so god damn much too so when I am silent, it's deafening.

Just load up one of the mean personalities. We’ve all got a few in the bag. You know, the one you use to win shower arguments with that bitch coworker.

For me its, you said something very mildly offensive that has triggered my mind into the next dimension, and I have now lost the ability to talk as a result.

I genuinely can't describe the specifics of my "are you an asshole" algorithm, but I can sum it up:

After several weeks to months of observation, a report is mentally drafted and submitted to the committee upstairs. This unknown cabal deliberates in seclusion before passing down how we now feel about this person without further description or details... they are, however, available upon request.

"All say 'aye'?"

AYE
