it's so unfair that my reaction is unacceptable, yet they never ask themselves why i react that way. people are so quick to say that i'm overreacting or that i'm being too emotional, but not once do they ever stop to ask what actually made me feel that way or what happened that caused me to respond like that.
they never ask themselves what they did, what they said, or how their behavior may have pushed me to my breaking point. they act like my reaction came out of nowhere, as if i just woke up and decided to feel too much.
they just focus on how i expressed my feelings, not the reasons behind them, and it's exhausting constantly having to filter how i feel just so others don't get uncomfortable. it makes me feel like i'm not allowed to feel anything unless it's convenient or easy for them to deal with. but deep down, i know the issue isn't that i feel too much, it's that they feel too little. they don't want to see the damage they've done, so they shift the blame to how i reacted to it. :'))
