especially when it’s something unique to my experience of life. its easy for someone to disregard disrespect that they’ve never dealt with, like let me determine it for myself, even if someone didn’t mean something they say as disrespectful, doesn’t make it any less disrespectful
i hate when i express how i feel about something and people wanna say “that’s not how they meant it” like that’s how it was received.. like if i feel uncomfortable and upset abt something that’s what it is
