Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Glad that you chose to talk and glad that you chose to cut it off. The best you EVER get from these odd jerks is some sort of apology that isn't one: such as the classic "I am sorry that you are upset". Which means YOU own your upset; THEY had nothing to do with it.
It's all a mind game. They are into it. They love it.
Gaslighting 101.
So basically you're saying Anxietynacy's male friend is doing some gaslighting mansplainin'. No one woman has time for that nonsense.
Nacy should tell this guy to go pound sand.
You're right. It's not worth the energy or as you say 'time or interest' to explain to some people.
I see it like this. Bees don't bother trying to explain to flies why honey tastes better than sh*t.
Some folks are just not worth the time or effort.
DH had a shoulder replacement yesterday and thanks to the wisdom of members, I know how to advocate for the best care and what adaptive devices to look for online
