Babied
-
Context: her boyfriend pissed her off by babying her. (Basically she didn’t realize she said something that could be take ooc really fast and he said “I have to treat you like a child, because you have the mental capacity of one.” and then she goes on to get a book for her friend and comes back, and yaps at her bf)
“It’s fine, just… People used to baby me a lot. It was annoying, and…whatever. It’s fine. What’s done is done. That’s the way the river runs. So why get wet? Why break a sweat? Why waste any more of your precious breath? I just- I overreacted, yes, but…I don’t…appreciate it when someone questions my intellect because I’m a Bard, or I look like a child, and when I say that I can do something on my own, I don’t…I don’t want someone to follow me, being insistent that I need help. It makes me feel like I’m not good enough, and that I need to be supervised. It makes me feel like a child. I’m not a child anymore, though…I’m a 22, hell, maybe 23-year-old woman, and I just- I don’t understand. I said that I could have gotten the book alone, and yet Sebastian was insistent on following. Only after I snapped at you guys, did he drop the topic. I understand you guys worry about me, but if something happened, I would have learned my lesson. I’m just tired of not being taken seriously. I’m tired of being treated like a lost puppy. Like a child, who doesn’t understand the world yet. Except I do understand the world. Maybe not in full, but I understand. I understand that there is loss, and that I will make more mistakes than I’d like to, but I know that there’s no way to fix that. The only way that I can learn is by learning from my mistakes, and if people baby me, I can’t learn. I can’t make a mistake, and so I stay a child, and I don’t learn. Anything. That was my problem back home, too. My parents never took me seriously, and kept trying to get me to change to fit their design, and kept me shielded from the world for so long, and…I just…I’m done.”
TL;DR: “Don’t baby me.”

@Your-Local-Ghostface-Simp most of my friends irl baby me bc I’m like really special needed and they think I’m not able to be independent by myself. But I say I am independent I just need you all to see it because I wanna show how independent I can be but because I have autism and adhd they don’t believe me and stolid treat me like a child and I don’t like it because it annoys me and upsets me but they just think I’m in a foul mood so I don’t like being around them

🎀🤍🐱Kitty White🐱🤍🎀 yeah, that’s kind of how it was with this character, too. After she snapped at them, she didn’t really want to be around them for a while.
