Finally told that guy (not my friend anymore) I’m pulling away from him, was as nice as I could be about it. Made it known why I was pulling away.
Not only did he say he wasn’t sorry for making me feel unsafe or uncomfortable because I’d been pissing him off, he’s blaming me. He listed things I’d done that, mind you, I was not aware was actually nothing him. He said he’d told me, but if he did, he did so while I was distracted or said so casually in a way that didn’t make it register as a problem.
I have repeatedly told him directly that if I am doing something wrong, please please please tell me, like sit me down at talk to me about if instead of telling me when I’m clearly overstimulated or just not paying attention to anything, because half the time it won’t register as a problem unless someone directly tells me, in which case I will gladly correct my behaviour because I do not want to be a problem. Do not just let me go on thinking everything is ok, especially if you’re not going to ACT like it’s a problem.
Because like, it sounded like he’d been upset with me for a while, which if that was the case then why the hell did he keep me around as long as he did? When exactly did he stop considering me a friend?
I’m just so fking tired right now, that message drained me. I’m fine, it’s just going to be bothering me for a while. His lack of proper communication is not my fault.
