    If someone says I’m not afraid to be vulnerable or that I’m in touch with my emotions? Nah

    But if someone called me a pussy or insinuated it’s not masculine to have a healthy relationship with your emotions? That definitely would bother me.

      Yea, I was referring more to this part. Like sure, other ppl’s tolerance to hurtful stuff that u say might be high, but mine isn’t. When I confront u with this, u just dismiss it by hand waving the issue like “oh you’re too soft n delicate either ways”. Like NO. I mean I may be “soft n delicate”, but could you just not be mean?

        I’m sorry people are doing stuff like this to you. I’m a relatively thin skinned individual, personally. People say you’re supposed to just grow thicker skin, but why can’t we instead focus on trying to get the assholes to not be assholes? Idk man, I guess it’s not very realistic. Hope your day goes ok.
