Babied
-
Context: her boyfriend pissed her off by babying her. (Basically she didnโt realize she said something that could be take ooc really fast and he said โI have to treat you like a child, because you have the mental capacity of one.โ and then she goes on to get a book for her friend and comes back, and yaps at her bf)
โItโs fine, justโฆ People used to baby me a lot. It was annoying, andโฆwhatever. Itโs fine. Whatโs done is done. Thatโs 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, butโฆI donโtโฆappreciate it when someone questions my intellect because Iโm a Bard, or I look like a child, and when I say that I can do something on my own, I donโtโฆI donโt want someone to follow me, being insistent that I need help. It makes me feel like Iโm not good enough, and that I need to be supervised. It makes me feel like a child. Iโm not a child anymore, thoughโฆIโm a 22, hell, maybe 23-year-old woman, and I just- I donโt 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. Iโm just tired of not being taken seriously. Iโm tired of being treated like a lost puppy. Like a child, who doesnโt 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 Iโd like to, but I know that thereโs no way to fix that. The only way that I can learn is by learning from my mistakes, and if people baby me, I canโt learn. I canโt make a mistake, and so I stay a child, and I donโt 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, andโฆI justโฆIโm done.โ
TL;DR: โDonโt baby me.โ

@Your-Local-Ghostface-Simp most of my friends irl baby me bc Iโm like really special needed and they think Iโm 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 donโt believe me and stolid treat me like a child and I donโt like it because it annoys me and upsets me but they just think Iโm in a foul mood so I donโt like being around them

๐๐ค๐ฑKitty White๐ฑ๐ค๐ yeah, thatโs kind of how it was with this character, too. After she snapped at them, she didnโt really want to be around them for a while.
