The main takeaway is that you are worth being paid attention. No one is 'doing you a favor' by hanging around.

It's so damned hard sometimes, but sometimes other people just really suck at communicating and you have to accept that.

And sometimes it's just out brains critically overthinking stuff. It's not careless to care LESS when you care too much.

I tried that and it did NOT go well

Yeah it sometimes doesn’t!

But it is at the very least an escape sometimes from people who don’t respect you.

Trying to unlearn over a decade of reflexively listening to slight vocal inflections and facial twitches takes time, but it's possible. I'm still in the process of purging those habits my family caused.

It comes easier with practice.

Well said, George. A lot of it is also learning to love yourself. We all have flaws, but none of us should toleratre people throwing them in our faces.
