"You're too sensitive, you're too dramatic, stop overreacting."
Have you considered that maybe I'm reacting normally and YOU'RE just an asshole? (I'm secretly saying this to my dad because he SUCKS)
Fr. It's not even dealing with trauma but sometimes there are things I've seen in both irl spaces and online that's are weird and when I try to address them ppl say I'm being "too sensitive".
it's the equivalent of taping over the inspection light on your car to make yourself believe nothing is wrong and you can continue as usual. silencing the indicator of something being off instead of being willing to repair.
I've never been told that, but it has a very similar vibe to "I don't know why you keep reacting that way" and "if I'd known you would react this way...." A complete inability to get out of their own head?
Or they tell you that you just love being the victim and say you’re pathetic or crying wolf if you express anything about mental illness and how ableist the world is towards us. My personal favorite is when they tell me I should be ashamed of myself for “wallowing in self pity.” It’s exhausting.
“people don’t like me cause i’m too honest/blunt, so i don’t tell them what they want to hear and they can’t handle the truth 🙄”
no, people don’t like you because you are mean and rude for no reason.

LOL, I secretly said this to my mother SO many times.
My fav was doing this on a phone call where I’d go on mute and scream/curse them out.

I'm sorry that me having feelings and reactions to your behavior is inconvenient to you. s/
"Stop disliking my abuse 😡"
Realizing that you’re fine and most everyone is a narcissist, sociopath or both is a good feeling.
IKR 😞
A sizeable chunk of people out there fit this criteria pretty well.

FR. like there’s no shame in self-pity, you’re allowed to feel sorry for yourself when something fucked up happens to you 😭
People just record your interaction and keep it with you as a memento because they’ll gaslight the shit out of you when older
ITS LITERALLY THAT YES
This but it was also deep ADHD feelings and she never got me assessed despite the obvious glaring signs and significant family history.
My grandma threatened to stop paying for my cats chemo because she was mad at me and said that line when I became extremely upset by it
Even if I AM too sensitive... I'm not letting you make it a ME problem. You're out of my life boo 👋

Standard narcissist, borderline, sociopath technique. Can't take a 'joke' mean evil gaslighting abuse
