this day while having a conversation with boba bear ...
he said something that did NOT sit well with me at ALL, and genuinely pissed me off
I stopped replying for the forseeable future. Donk's way of dealing with such emotional episodes: disengage conversation, try hardest to wipe from mind, do other things and just generally live my life without others' comments i might find distressing
I find this works pretty well a lot of the time. Usually others take the hint.
If the conversation or friendship completely dies from this behavior, then it was already on shaky ground to begin with
Really bad experiences in ny life have taught me to get good at one thing: moving on from relationships with others without a second thought.
The first time i was forced to do this it was extremely painful emotionally and socially isolating.
It kept happening afterwards, and i decided i couldn't just brek down completely every time
i've built up my own sense of self and support to better handle such situations when i need to
People are fickle, and many times self interested. In my experience few have genuine reciprocal mutual care for eachother

i know it seems like an inane thing but keep in mind:
1. i had not recalled this fact about my younger years in so long, it came basically as a shock even to me to be reminded of that
2. it's something that, although i know it's childish and that's what kids do, i still feel shame for, and had i still recalled it, would not be something i would go around telling others
3. there's a bit more complex history between me and boba bear that made it especially feel like betrayal in this case
he said it in a playful tone and just teasing, but i found it completely distasteful. i don't mind my sister telling him about it, but i don't like it when people i consider friends come to me and shove it in my face that they know an embarassing fact about me.
we're talking again and things are ok, but for that day and until he messaged me recently, i had just gone radio silent, did NOT feel like talking at all
