So, how to deal with someone expecting more than you can do, and then slamming you down for it? How to deal with someone getting angry and using your openness and honesty against you, when they claimed to be all open and accepting? No idea.
I have no idea how to respond to someone going through any sort of tragedy, let alone a family member passing. I'm not sure anyone does know how to really respond, besides the empty feeling "I'm sorry" or "Is there anything I can do?"
And then there are the accusations of everything I say being a lie... That's probably the worst thing someone can accuse me of. Lying. I'm told I'm brutally honest. I have no reason to change that.
Similar struggles are often why people develop a friendship, but it's never going to work right when one side is always getting shot down as not having things so bad because the other side is always worse off. Or getting shot down for offering solutions that have helped you in a somewhat similar struggle. I guess some people just like their trophies. I'll never understand why, though.
Someone telling me that my mental state is questionable when it's the best it's ever been in my life is probably not someone I should be associating with, for my own mental health.
Someone insisting that everything I've said must be a lie because they're angry at my limits, again probably someone I should just distance myself from. I guess in this case, the distancing has already been done.
It's the second time I've gotten this sort of message from this person, and I think two times is enough. Again, for my own stability.
I attempted to respond to the message, but I've been blocked. So, this seems a good alternative space to rant.
I give up. If I'm not good enough, go find someone who is up to your standards and will bend over backwards even more. I guess I will go talk to my imaginary friends, as they have to be, since I was lying about having actual friends.
Edit:
If you happen to read this, I do hope you get the things you are having issues with straightened out, and quickly. I know how stressful that stuff is. I hope things get better for you.
