hot take or unpopular opinion I guess: if I can't vent to you as a friend, we cannot be friends. You don't need to be a therapist in order to hear me out. If you're bothered by my trauma, I simply want nothing to do with you. Especially when I'm actively dealing with my issues.
red flag to be honest like there are limits (boundaries you can set) but if you are unwilling to exist emotionally alongside the people in your life… what’s the point?

like i‘m pretty sure the social convention is just about making sure to do it throughout conversation and not maintaining it the whole time but “eye contact” means what it says 😭
ppl r rly like if ur depressed or have issues w ur self image u have to isolate until ur socially acceptable again and also so i don’t have to deal with it
