It’s like once they know that’s ALL they see you as and it pisses me off. I’m not making it my identity, their perceptions are.. and it really hurts.

Unfortunately sometimes we’ve had really horrible experiences with people with similar issues. If it’s an ongoing problem I think it’s fair for someone to avoid it.

I get that but I don’t think some people are aware that certain conditions are lifelong more than likely, despite long-term treatment and medications . (I’m not condoning hurtful behaviors someone has tho, that’s not what I’m talking about)

Yea I see it as an unfortunate case of assumptions and miscommunication, they see the term and think worse case even if it’s not the reality. I myself am guilty of this since I’ve had to be personal therapists for many girls who drained me over time.

I’ve dealt with this tbh because I never know where to draw the line , but expect the person I’m with to set a boundary with me if I cross it. At what point does support become being someone’s therapist? I’m genuinely asking cause I tend to just not speak about anything and feel alone instead cause idek.
