Just because two people aren’t romantically involved doesn’t mean they can’t be super important to one another.
Just because two people are super important to one another doesn’t mean they have to be romantically involved.
It is okay to love people deeply without wanting to be with them romantically and people should not make your friendship uncomfortable by consistently nagging you to date.
Let’s appreciate and support friendships and stop demanding people to have feelings they don’t have.
probably the funniest interaction i’ve had with someone i do not know is the day i had jury duty so my friend pop dropped me off at it and went to class downtown with the agreement she’d pick me up after she got out of class, and if i gout out of jury duty early she’d pick me up from the houston library which was a couple blocks down and easy to walk to and a place you could stay all day with no questions asked
anyways while there i started drawing and this dude kept getting closer and closer till he was like in the chair next to me and was like ‘what a beautiful drawing’ and i’m like thanks but
him saying that reminded me i had been in that position for a couple hours and i really needed to pop my neck so i did
and he immediately called me a disgusting bitch and got up and slammed the chair he was in back into the table and was like ‘can you believe this woman’ to several people who were just trying to read some research books and
Just so people know, I looked at the source and the sister was in a very bad car accident and these gifts are likely her way of dealing with her trauma.
honestly…. the fact that they didn’t include this in the original post fucking sucks.
but also… i know these gifts may seem “creepy,” but they’re all really practical (well, aside from the book) and show that she clearly cares about the safety of her loved ones.
This makes me wonder how people view trauma. You see a lot assholes online of shitting on “sjws” for being triggered and not having ~real~ PTSD, but things like this make me wonder if people simply have no idea how to recognize PTSD when it’s not people freaking out over a loud noise.
… “doesn’t … seem traumatized by it at all”
what. the. fuck. how does that not “seem traumatized”.
Her way of dealing with trauma is trying to prevent others’ trauma, and regardless, those are mostly useful gifts the average person doesn’t think of getting until it’s too late. High anxiety runs in my family so they gift the same kinda things. Idk how caring about someone is killing the mood.
