really weird how you describe a problem you’re having and then people try to help you with that problem 🤔🤔🤔 i don’t really get it yet but thank you
Conversation
this is a whole other thing to get into some other time but it continues to viscerally confuse me when people are nice to me

oh, i guess more specific than this: it viscerally confuses me when people are nice to me *after i have revealed myself to be incompetent*
it does ‘t confuse me when people are nice to me after i have done a cool thing

like... my system experiences you as trying to argue me out of having a feeling because you’re convinced you know the feeling is wrong and what the right feeling should be
that does not work for me. it just makes me resist the feeling instead of accepting it

entirely up to you, of course, but it's an honest question from a place of genuine curiosity. I'm not trying to trap you or anything, I genuinely wanna know what you think

yeah appreciate it. the question still feels like a trap tho even if you didn’t intend it that way
maybe some bad past experiences with people who used questions as traps (ah shit i think i might know who this is)
