I had a friend who did exactly the same thing to me and she tended to come off super judgmental with her infantilization. Her and I aren’t friends anymore for this exact reason and i brought it up by saying “sometimes i feel like you don’t think im capable of making good decisions” which open up a bigger discussion

Oof yeah a lot of people tell me how naive I seem to them… like weird thing to say to me but ok. I’m actually the opposite- I was just being kind/looking on the brighter side/ giving the benefit of the doubt. Those people aren’t in my life anymore either.

Do you get hurt or in dangerous situations by the decisions you make that they disagree with? Are they telling you other people’s motives aren’t what you think they are?

for the first question, no i’ve never made a decision they disagree with that has led to me getting hurt in any capacity. matter of fact, there was a guy they pushed me into going on a date with even though i thought he was a bad guy and i ended up being right. they try to say that people’s motives are different from what i think, but basically every time that’s been put to the test i have ended up being right
