Neurodivergent on Yik Yak | Hate when friends go “lmk if u need anything” when there’s a 99.9% chance they’re busy and unable to be there. I wish they’d stop saying it altogether because the irrational part of me always interprets this as them lying & feel like I can’t talk to them.

my ex friend would tell me “you can always talk to me” while i was going through immense trauma and every time i tried to bring it up she would just say “damn dude i can’t even imagine” and then stop talking. like the only support you can offer me is not even being able to fathom how badly things are going for me???? i really dislike when people act like they know how to be there emotionally for someone. it’s a skill and it’s best for everyone to be open if you’re not good at that

Which sucks because I’ve always been there for them BUT that’s because I’m not as busy, so I understand but I also can’t help but be disappointed when the support isn’t reciprocated. Especially when I want to vent since I have a habit of bottling it up.

They recommend I vent in ‘pieces’ whenever they’re here so it doesn’t blow up, but the problem is I don’t get the feeling of opening up often. When I’m not in the mood to vent then I just won’t, otherwise I spiral and make myself feel worse for getting in a feeling I don’t want to be in.

could you possibly get the cheapest therapist you can find just so you always have someone to vent to?
