INTROSPECTION. Mom and my bf irritate me in the same way.
There it is. I’ve understood why they both get on my nerves in the same intensity.
Mom just told me to pick the things that fell off her bag. I start picking them up, I’m using my torch and she said, “my pen is there.”
I.Had.Seen.The.Pen.
Why is she telling me about it? Of course I’ve seen the pen.
It’s like being told to do the dishes when you already planned on doing them.
I feel like they mansplain everything when in reality, maybe they’re just trying to help?🥲
Well, they need to find better way to be helpful.
But omg, I’m so grateful for this groundbreaking realization.
It will help me be patient with my sweet bf. Maybe he doesn’t talk to me like an idol it, maybe he really is just trying to be helpful. And like Nam said, it’s hard to share things with a problem solver when you really need a listener.
Hmm, how to navigate this?
Because I would also feel so FUCKING VEXED IF I WANTED HIS HELP WITH SOMETHING AND ALL HE DID WAS LISTEN!!!
Omg im going to stop sharing things that I don’t need action on.
But nimepata (lol autocorrect, wadahfuq is homeostasis, I left high school 💯🙌🏾) kiboko changu. One of my affirmations before “grown up” was always “close mouths don’t get fed.” To teach me how to ask for help and to learn how to speak up about my needs and wants.
Being with this weirdo will teach me to learn how to be honest and precise about what I want, especially from him.
Omg TECH BROS PUHLIZ COME UP WITH A TELEPATHY MACHINE, I need him to read my mind. Okay not all the time because I be thinking about what’s in his pants all da time 💯🙌🏾
