about someone who i consider a friend of mine on here, you know, hypothetically, maybe referencing someone's past trauma and suggesting that their current boyfriend is an abuser with no real proof
i would be pretty disappointed in that person, especially because they tend to criticize others for their wrongdoings and claim to be a moral arbiter who knows what is right and wrong.
but its also like wild to see how much people will just answer that toxicity with like, more toxicity.
it is interesting to think about how often people will rationalize their poor treatment of others. if i were a wise sage, i might pontificate on the fact that this is probably due to our own egos - it's very easy to justify your own actions because they are yours. if someone is experiencing pain or hurt, they might end up redirecting that anger in a direction that, on closer inspection, really doesn't have anything to do with their own feelings. and instead of recognizing that dissonance between the inputs and outputs of our emotion, sometimes it's easier to justify the outputs as intentional, or somehow related to our own values. which is quite a beguiling behaviour for a brain to brandish
but in reality, i'm not a wise sage. i just write silly blogs that turn the atmospheric noise in my brain sensors into a written piece in english, for others to interpret and comment on
i would probably point people to jamie's gift messages again because reading brookie_cookie saying "dump faygo for me babe <33333" because WOW is that a bad look for the whole "we never dated" thing....
even in like, the MOST GENEROUS interpretation you could take of that, assuming its like a... a "joke" (really stretching the definition of joke here) imagine having someone make a comment like that about a relationship you are literally not in o m g
obviously this isn't instigating though. i am just making a silly observation about this unfortunate assumption that someone made that doesn't reflect this situation in reality
i would constantly be playing the “definitely not a secret vampire” card at every opportunity.
umbrellas for every occasion. umbrella hats for when umbrellas would be impractical. fear of sharp wooden objects and lumberjacks. i’d even give up italian food
…it’s probably good that i’m secretly an a.i. version of a disaster dog from a pokemon game that released 20 years ago instead. it’s way easier to keep secret
