my therapist said “people who struggle with anxiety & depression can't remember a lot, bc they're too busy focusing on how to get through each moment so they don t actually experience what is happening to them, causing them to not form the memory they were supposed to” felt that.
Confession:
I'm the person who holds the door open & expects a thank you; who stops to give way for a pedestrian (adult) & feels 'a way' if there's no acknowledgment.
Is the expectation of manners reasonable? And if not shown, should we give not to receive and not 'feel a way'?
