I lean into being pathetic a lot for someone who snaps into killing mode upon seeing a hint of being pitied I think

we should trade

You have to pity me like Iā€™m a protagonist it has to be for things in my control. If someone says they feel bad for me because Iā€™m sick or whatever I feel just burning rage. I havenā€™t entirely figured out where the line of distinction is. Like being sick is out of my control but itā€™s a challenge I can respond to? In the same way losing a lot at mafia is? But saying ā€œaww Iā€™m sorry youā€™re sickā€ doesnā€™t feel like a recognition of challenge? I suppose it contains no inherent acknowledgement of it?

Like I never tell anybody when I get sick (temporary illness rather than chronic) unless I absolutely have to because I despise beyond words when people say aw Iā€™m sorry get well soon. I didnā€™t tell my parents I didnā€™t want to tell my professors I didnā€™t want to do any of that

But I DONā€™T mind the ā€œMay is an illboy sickheadā€ acknowledgements like I rarely if ever get that way whatsoever about chronic illness?

And I only like when people mention the eating disorder shit lightheartedly or as a joke, but I do like when people mention in that way, it because getting into my head that itā€™s, like, incorrect, and I have to remember to keep myself in check on it and eat an appropriate amount is helpful. Like thereā€™s a very specific desired reaction I have to every single different form of ailment or affliction

I need to catalogue them and look for patterns

If you were wondering, I act like this about every single thought or emotional reaction I have to any thing, all the time. I am analysing everything. Someday I will have a complete documentation of my being

Like I donā€™t feel that instinctive anger uponā€¦ likeā€¦ even situations where someone is pitying me in a way that is explicitly demeaning. The only time I can think of that was close was the one champs practice game where I got really mad at Duskfall for calling me perpetual LHF who has bad reads and canā€™t play mafiaā€¦ politely. Perfectly nice the whole time. He did nothing wrong. I feel no such emotion when people say this to me normally without mincing it. Maybe itā€™s that. That the default ā€œaww get well soonā€ reaction is socially expected and polite and required of them. And so itā€™s lying.

Because it is very similar to the feeling Iā€™d get from counselors and such in school when theyā€™d talk to me about my chronic illness and Iā€™d just get the immediate ā€œLYING LYING LIARā€ alarm from them every time. Thatā€™s probably it. I donā€™t like when people perform pity toward me in a way that is socially expected and therefore usually a farce. I do like when people perform pity toward me in a way that somewhat breaks social expectations, like, for example, feeling bad for me for losing a lot at mafia, or joking about how terribly ill I am all the time, because when people break social expectations it suggests that they are telling the truth (as they would not break social expectations to say something that they did not genuinely believe)

And now I understand. Thanks for coming on to this episode of understanding things with May, the show in which we grow to understand. This emotional reaction has been thoroughly broken apart and observed, and now we can reconstruct it from its pieces and recognise it when it occurs. Truly we have achieved something

Basically if you feel obligated to feel sorry to me or generally feel obligated to say any other thing in the world and I notice youā€™re saying it out of obligation I will get really mad at you
