Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Oh gosh, that feel. Figuring out when my "back off" anger is appropriate or an overreaction is something I still struggle with.
I almost always check what other people think, to see how my reactions correspond ... But some of the people around me have issues with boundaries, too, so that isn't always a reliable measure. Sometimes, negative stuff gets normalized, and that's hard.
But I'm getting to the point where I'll stick to my own opinion even if someone else says I'm overreacting. Because the thing is, even if something is "objectively" okay, it might not be okay for ME. And my individual needs & preferences are important.
The people in my life should care about and respect what I need. And if they don't want to, that's their shortcoming, not mine.
I’m so wary of people in my life and I feel like they are violating my space and privacy (if that’s true then that’s fucked up???) I can’t tell if I’m being paranoid but it’s causing me so much discomfort that I just want everyone to leave!! me!! alone!!!
