I was telling my therapist how much of a provider I am.
Like, tell me what’s wrong so I can find a solution and fix it.
Mf said, “that’s such a masculine trait, I see why you a dyke”
😭🤣 but she also turned it into a lesson.
Some times people tell you their problems because they just want comfort. Just want you to be there reassure them they don’t have to share that burden alone.
It’s not always about you fixing it
Today is OFFICIALLY my last day in the army.
It’s been a wild ass ride. I’ve lost a lot and gained some shit. Now, I’m ready for this new chapter and excited for what’s to come.
No it’s not. Gaslighting is manipulating someone to doubt their judgment/feelings.
Asking a person to speak to you in a tone that’s respectful so you can receive it properly is not manipulation.
