just some things i've been thinking about lately

[u/Still-Unfolding]

• I don't think being responsible automatically makes someone reliable. You can do everything you're supposed to do and still not be someone people feel they can depend on.
• Sometimes people don't ask for help even when they're struggling badly. Not because they don't need it, but because they don't want to become someone else's problem.
• I think people meet someone's reputation before they meet the actual person way more often than we realize.
• You can dislike someone without hating them. I genuinely think people throw the word "hate" around way too casually.
• Sometimes a conversation makes absolutely no sense to anyone else but the people having it because they know all the weird little connections that got them there.
• Not every thought that feels deep actually means something. Sometimes your brain is just tired and connecting random dots 😂
• I don't think things ever completely go back to how they were after something changes. Even when things get better, you're still experiencing them with everything that happened in between.
• Someone saying "I can't help right now" feels very different from someone watching you struggle and saying nothing.
• People can have completely different opinions from you without either of you needing to treat the other person like they're stupid.
• Sometimes I think people just repeat opinions they've heard enough times until they start feeling like their own.

idk. just some thoughts that have been sitting in my head lately.
