When you're extra careful of what you say

yeah, its a common trauma response

I just sit there sometimes staring at my texts trying to think of the most conventional or the most helpful thing to say. Or I’m just like “understood” or “alright.” So this way I dont start any arguments. I’ve gotten to a point where I’ll hide my feelings or simplify my feelings into something less bad than it really is so this way an argument over my feelings doesn’t start or they don’t get mad at me.

@Cyx Yeah I Once was angry at my friend cuz she said something along these lines “I Hope You Die u sun of a bish” Then she had said “Olivia/Oliver was never ur friend and Scarlet never loved You.” I Honestly Got Upset And Mad And I Didn’t Know What I Was Saying So I Said “I Hope You Die And End Up Like Them. Nobody Even Liked You Anyways And I Hope One Day We Break Apart.” That Hurt Her heart cuz she was only joking. But I Wasn’t Cuz I didn’t know it was a joke. She shouldn’t have brung them up in the first place, She knew i was sad because of it. And Uh We stopped talking. Honestly It was her fault. So ya.

It also doesn’t help when text is unable to carry its own tone.
