“Very good,” I said coldly. “In that case, tinkerty tonk.” And I meant it to sting.

Hey rate this retort to being told something stupid

“I respect your audacity, if not your brainpower.”

Curious questions.

Does anyone else have the problem of not being able to get what you have in your head out of your mouth? It’s like you make a dumbed down reply of the elegant thought you had in your head. I do this all the time in class and it makes me feel like a twit. I can write it down perfectly matching what I had in my head but I can’t speak it to save my life. Send me a message with your answer.

Too sensitive? You mean according to you my reaction is inappropriate, too difficult to empathize or it is not how you would react or be affected. Don't dismiss me, my feelings and emotions. Because I would never do that to you. Because discouraging someone from expressing themselves and their emotional selves is so harmful. It leads to suppression, embarrassment and shame and very unhealthy individuals who tend to develop issues (and wounds) they carry through their lives.
