Not many people talk about how deep emotional neglect hurts you.

I’m afraid to want things. I’m afraid to ask for help. I’m afraid to tell someone something if they seem in a bad mood. I can’t process when someone is nice to me. I can’t handle rejection, but my brain literally short circuits if someone gives me a compliment to the point where sometimes the rejection is better.

There are lots of overlap with emotional abuse, but emotional neglect hurts just as much. And it’s even worse that it usually goes undetected, so a lot of people can’t tell they’re being neglected until it’s too late.

Going from, “I don’t deserve to set boundaries” to “Having a relationship with me is a gift not everyone is entitled to.”

I love using “good catch”

I also say “thanks for the update” or “thanks for the head’s up!”

“I really appreciate the head’s up!” also a classic

If I haven’t gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say “thank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decided…”

don’t apologize for piddly things! 

thank you > sorry

I need to remember

[stargazing-enby]

thank you > sorry

Thank you for waiting for me > sorry for being late

Thank you for helping me/for your time/for listening to me > sorry for bothering you

Thanking someone when they do you a favour > apologizing for your existence

This is especially hard when you haven’t been taught that people need to respect your limits, but with a bit of practice you can absolutely get there!

I had a chat with my grandma this afternoon and it really hurt. I feel for her so much, our conversation really struck a chord with me.

She said how much she missed Granddad 💔 and how by talking to me I "light up her life".... I've never had her talk so candid to me before...i promised her I'd come visit her this weekend....I feel like I've missed out on a lot ....

Broke my heart even more when I tried to take tomorrow off work so that I could do a day trip to see my grandma (I still worked on Friday when my grandma was admitted to hospital on the Thursday night with a massive health scare) and instead of any understanding my boss guilt tripped me saying that I didn't give her enough notice (I called at 5.05pm on a Monday, I didn't have a shift until 9am Tuesday.... go figure.. but yet sick calls are to be made 6am the day of your shift.... even if you start at 7.45am...hmmm) and she'd been receiving sick calls. Tell me.... how your rostering is my problem? We're always under staffed anyway...... so needless to say, I'm working.

I hope one day when I'm old and lonely my friends/family won't prioritize work over me.... but that'd be my karma. Because that's what I've just done 😭

..... anyone who knows me... would agree...

You know what?

I am annoying sometimes.

And that’s okay. It’s not the death sentence I was led to believe. People will love me even if I can’t read their signals sometimes. Not understanding is forgivable. I don’t have to hold myself back so I don’t annoy anyone ever.

The people who love me know I get excited. And I am still loved.

[telle-talk]

Literally how I feel....I just don't care no more!
