Things I wish I could say to people I know:

_____

Person: Hey, how're you doing?

What I wanted to say: Oh, ya know, pretending I'm not emotionally numb.

What I actually said: I dunno.

_____

*I did something to make someone mad at me*

What I wanted to say: Just because I pissed you off doesn't mean you get to declare war on me.

What I actually said: ..... I'm sorry.

_____

What I wanted to say: Complain all you want, I'm not perfect. And telling me I should do better isn't magically gonna give me the skill to master everything first try. I'm not a Mary Sue, but I don't fucking regret it.

What I said: Ok.

_____

*I'm arguing with my sister*

Other sister: You need to be quiet.

What I wanted to say: Me?! How about her! She's spouting nonsense, and you are telling me to shut up?! How dare you?!

What I said: *silence*

_____

Me: *practices a speech for an important-ish phone call*

My brain: *decides to stop working half way into speaking*

Me: *is still beating myself up about embarrassing myself by sounding so awkward*

_____

Person: You've been quiet, today....

Me: *legit cannot form a complete sentence thinking they've caught onto what I am starting to suspect is my declining mental stability*

Also me: It's nothing! *proceeds to lie my way out of more questions*

_____

I might make more of these in the future. Depends on how much more bullshit I have to deal with.

I'm just... not in a good place, right now....
