Where should I start, here? I suppose sorry would have no effect but I'm sorry nonetheless. I guess, we'll start with Aaliyah's bit because she seems the most upset.
Unless I'm mistaken, I only mentioned Liyah's ed once and it was when I was taking about how I didn't do enough to help you with it like listen to you rant and complain and work around things better for you. I know that advice won't help. That's why I'm saying I'm not treating her how she should be and why I stopped trying to help. That's a blow on myself, so I don't think she would be upset about that part.
Maybe she thinks that I meant her when I said people try to one up me with their trauma. I didn't, but I guess after reading her most recent story that does apply. There's a line in there that says something along the lines of not being able to take other people's trauma seriously. That was not meant for you guys. I can see how that can come off narcissistic and how I could have worded that better, but it's too late now, I guess. The "trauma" in question was meant for people who pretend to be depressed but their only "trauma" is like, not getting an Xbox for Christmas.
I just found another spot that I mentioned Liyah. I wrote something along the lines of nobody says anything to help Liyah when she throws up because we don't know what to do. I know that Mia talks to Liyah about her throwing up a lot, but it's always in private. I guess, I just mean this when Liyah talks about her throwing up in a group setting. Ari sometimes tells Liyah to eat or things to do to feel like she doesn't have to throw up, but it's always a quick comment and Liyah never does anything that Ari says-not saying that she has to or anything. Also, Ari said that advice doesn't help, and I agree, but she also gives Liyah advice, so I'm not sure what she means.
Maybe, she's upset that I said that she gets hung up on things, but that's not about eating disorders at all, so probably not. (I'm just re-rereading my story and finding whenever I mention Liyah) maybe she thought I meant she was getting too worked up about her eating disorder. I mostly meant like, little things in her day that piss her off. Like, in volleyball, when she gets upset that somebody won't set up a hit for her and then it ruins her whole week. (That's exaggerating. It's not meant to be hurtful)
Little side tangent, don't ever try to read between the lines of my writing. I'm not saying that you are-you might be, I don't know-but either way, a lot of the times when I'm not trying to write anything poetic, there's no deeper meaning to what I say. I try to make everything pretty blunt and factual which, as I was telling Ari, is where I think our communication falls apart. It works really well for talking with teachers or classmates, but not with emotions I have found. The three of you tend to be very emotional while talking about emotions-wow, that's crazy. It's almost like that's what it's supposed to be like-and all of the facts that I try to lay out end up getting twisted because of it.
Anywho, back to Liyah. I know that she was saying something about me judging her eating disorder (I'm gonna go back through her story and reply to it on this one later) but in paragraph 24 (i think) when I was talking about overreacting I literally said, "I'm not judging you," so that's probably not what she's mad about.
Maybe she's mad that I said Ari had the most viable excuse to be stressed, but in that paragraph I wrote, "I'm not saying that everyone else doesn't have viable reasons to be mentally unstable, I'm just patting Ari on the back because I'm so proud of her." Liyah doesn't seem like someone who would turn bad mental states into a competition, and that's the only part of that I can think of that would make her upset, so honestly, I'm not sure why she's mad, but I commented on her story asking her to tell me a specific part, so we'll see if she replied. Looks like no. I think she's at work.
Alright, let's go through her story. First of all, again I'm sorry (I'm not quite sure what I'm sorry for yet but I'll figure it out one of these days) You said that it would be different if Amelia said it, I'm not quite sure what "it" is, but I'm sure I'm missing something.
