A lil psa because there are quite a few people who just want to have normal conversation and small talk with me. I suffer with some really shitty mental illnesses and if I ever tell you I’m not here for friends or just chatting it up unless I’m being paid it’s because 1) the more time I invest having a conversation with someone is time being taken away from important things in my life. If I’m sitting there talking to you for hours that means time I’m not paying attention to my child. If you want to talk to me it needs to be worth my while. And 2) I get mentally drained so quickly especially with trying to keep up with real life(family, friends, work, trying to keep my demons at bay, and try and keep a functioning household) that if I’m spending all my time on conversations that are taking away from the little bit of social energy I do have it’s not worth it to me.
I can be an extremely nice and kind person but I have my boundaries and I’m clear and concise for a reason. Please respect that.
