here we are again
why do you care more about HOW i say something
then you do about WHAT i am actually trying to convey
i sit
i listen
i'm getting so much better about not interrupting
and then when you are done
i try to say, to show you, in so many ways
I hear you.
I get that.
I understand why you felt that way.
Thank you for showing me what it looked like from your perspective.
I see through your eyes.
and I understand how you got there
I'm sorry I hurt you.
but all you hear is me dismissing you????
how the hell does that even happen?
and then
and then you're done
you dismiss me
you shut me down literally 4 words into a sentence
you don't care WHAT i have to say
what feels i felt
you don't give a shit about the world through my eyes
once you've spoken that's all that matters
'cause you think you know everything
you think you know what I'm going to say
and if I do speak you dissect HOW i say it
you make rules
no texts
no emails
no phone calls
you may not use these words
so many words banned
you think your perspective is "reality"
that its the ONLY truth
its the end all be all
no other perspectives allowed
cause you're already done with me and this conversation. you said your piece and that's all that matters. no time. no interest. no motivation for anything more from me. there's something bright and shiny and more worthy of your attention anywhere but here.
All those other things, all those other people
you have empathy for them
no empathy left for me
