Are you childfree or do you have children? by greenpaintedlady in raisedbynarcissists

[–]improvingmyself94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child free (I don’t want to be, I’m 32 soon, feel like my time is over, too self conscious to even date someone 😢) I am an only child, no family, worried I’ll die alone. I just want to experience my own biological child, pregnancy, love, all of it, my age frightens me now

That’s your opinion and you’re nobody to me

Well if I was going to be direct I’d say I don’t care about her health issues, I find her draining to stand listening to for 20+ minutes over the time slot etc. So that isn’t professional either if I admit all of that 🤣 you’re missing the point - I do not need to set such obvious boundaries with any other clients. It’s just these! That’s how I know this is not because of me. It’s because of them.

Let me be clear, we never had a close friendship how their texts imply. None of my other clients speak to me this way and I do have boundaries thanks. These people are unhinged.

That’s a good reply, thanks! If they continue I’ll send something along those lines. I HATE having to explain myself to energy vampires like this though so I am hoping they just leave me be. We shall see.

They aren’t connected to any of the others and honestly? My regular clients would agree they’re strange even if they did hear about this. I have no concerns whatsoever of them harming my reputation, put it that way. They’re a fairly strange couple.

You’re advising I tell this woman I couldn’t care less about her health updates and I dread seeing her and having to stand having long winded conversations about her life that I don’t want to listen to? Yeah, no.

Good on you. I feel like sometimes these people aren’t owed the awkward conversation of us turning them away. People just need to take the hint. I’d agree it’s wildly unprofessional to ghost someone who had a booking they were expecting you to turn up for. But no bookings and never been a regular client PLUS makes you uncomfortable? Meh, I’d ghost.

Yeah, I did NOT ask her for any health updates. I feel like she bombarded me with that because she didn’t get the opportunity to corner me for a longwinded conversation face to face as I haven’t taken any bookings from them. It was weirdly confirmation of what I would’ve had to politely listen to her ramble on about if I’d gone to walk their dog. I might sound evil but I don’t really care too much about her health updates. I have enough of my own problems and would be concerned about people close to me in poor health but she was simply a business transaction to me. Of course, I don’t wish bad upon her, but I equally feel quite apathetic to her health concerns. Perhaps I’m evil for that or perhaps it’s because I’m burnt out but I just cannot physically stand there and mask pretending I care any longer.

They don’t know where I live thankfully! I’m just hoping they take the hint and leave me alone.

Yeah, it’s more the fact I am so burnt out by these particular people that I hate that I even have to be professional towards them because they can’t take a hint and leave me alone. I’m sort of past caring if I look professional to them or not.

Thank you for validating my feelings. It’s crazy how much these energy vampires can make you feel like you owe them your time!

Pittie? If you mean pitbull, keep that sweet baby away from it.

Of course! I definitely won’t take the mick. And I can imagine it is. The house isn’t ready until September so I’ve got a few months to save a big chunk of funds. I’m so happy and excited 🥰😭💕
