Iconery aside, I experience pain and I'm actually pretty sensitive. I'm sure we can all relate to that feeling of being down, so low, you know it's time to phone that friend.
I recently did that, and they said they would come through. and when I said I loved them, they didn't say it back this time. And I didn't hear from them for the following 5 days.
I'm stuck between being grateful and being gas lit.
I told them I was low, I told them I was behind... I know the world doesn't stop for me, but I wish, just this one time, someone at least saw the tears in my eyes, and wanted to show up for me at an inconvenient time, just to validate that they can see the struggle.
At least, in this situation... specifically because they had the capacity and I did not ask for anything outside of their means.
"Hey, did you get a chance to send that?
"I left to my time share for the weekend and did nothing but puppy yoga and chill."
I'm grateful, but don't you see that your list of priorities is skewed?
I'm crying for help, and I'm your child, can't you put off 10 minutes of your spontaneous vacation?
