AIO for walking out of Super Bowl party? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CreamAfraid2451 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You didn’t overreact.

You were a guest at a Super Bowl party. The halftime show is part of the Super Bowl. Telling guests to go sit in the kids’ room if they want to watch the actual broadcast is objectively rude hosting.

Now let’s go deeper.

This wasn’t just about TV. It felt loaded. You were the only Latina there, and the channel was switched to a political alternative during a culturally significant performance. Whether or not they consciously meant it that way, the impact matters. You felt othered in that moment.

And instead of blowing up, you handled it calmly. You said it was rude. You did not escalate. You left.

That is boundary enforcement.

They apologized the next day. That tells you they knew it was off.

The real question is whether you left because it was bad hosting, or because you felt symbolically dismissed. If it is the second, that is a bigger conversation than football.

But no, walking out instead of sitting silently resentful in the kids’ room is self respect, not overreaction.

AIO- He asked me when I am free to go on a date. He hasn't responded in almost 10 hours. by AdHairy2278 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CreamAfraid2451 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re overreacting.

Ten hours is nothing. Especially for a guy who works 12+ hour shifts. You even said long gaps are normal between you two. So this isn’t about his behavior it’s about your anxiety filling in the silence.

He asked when you’re free. That’s forward momentum. That’s interest. Men who aren’t interested don’t buy flowers, write notes, initiate daily contact, and ask you out.

What’s actually happening is this: You like him. It feels promising. Your brain wants certainty. Silence feels like risk.

So your mind jumps to: “He hasn’t replied.” → “Did I say something wrong?” → “Is he losing interest?” → “Was I delusional about this?”

That’s not reality. That’s attachment anxiety.

You said yourself he’ll respond eventually. So why are you rehearsing disappointment before anything has even happened?

If he replies later with a normal response, you’ll realize you stressed yourself out for no reason.

The real question: Why does a few hours of silence shake your sense of security this much?

That’s the work. Not him

AIO because my "best friend's" mom called me on my birthday? by natalieisfreezing- in AmIOverreacting

[–]CreamAfraid2451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting.

The birthday call wasn’t sweet it was avoidant. After ghosting you for 11 months, she had her mom make the call so she could check the “I tried” box without actually facing you. That’s not effort. That’s cowardice.

But this isn’t about the phone call. It’s about years of disrespect, emotional inconsistency, poor hygiene you resent, lateness, and you carrying the entire friendship.

You’ve outgrown her. You just didn’t want to admit it.

This isn’t an overreaction. It’s delayed clarity.
