    I have no idea why you thought I claimed you were looking for sympathy. You must not have actually read it properly. I said you are not giving sympathy. And yeah - I didn’t give you an explanation, exactly because other people have. That’s kinda the point I was making - others have already explained it to you, and your bewildered “oh golly gee, people aren’t that mean!” attitude struck me as resisting to believe people can actually be so cruel. Not just aghast at it, but refusing to actually believe they are telling the truth and not just mistaken.

        Literally every response of yours to people explaining how they were abused for showing emotion.

        Your first comment, especially:

        And why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?

        None of this meme makes sense to me.

        Stop making this more complicated than it actually is. Accept the criticism and grow as a person.

              I have told you point blank that I am not challenging their stories. More than once.

              So you are refusing to believe I am telling the truth.

              Let me guess- that doesn’t make you a hypocrite, because you refusing to believe I’m telling the truth is totally different.

                I didn’t actually say you were, though. Just that you “gave off that vibe” and “came across that way”.

                So you are refusing to believe I am telling the truth.

                No, you’re refusing to interpret your tone.

                Let me guess- that doesn’t make you a hypocrite, because you refusing to believe I’m telling the truth is totally different.

                I’m not saying you’re lying, or saying you accused them of lying.

                  I literally told you, I was confused. You won’t accept that for some reason. No one else seems to be having this problem with what I said but you.

                    Acting confused in the face of someone telling you their problems, and responding that you’ve never experienced that, gives off the vibe that you don’t believe them. Remember, my first didn’t say that you were actually being hostile. I said you were starting to sound hostile. It was a warning. Can we leave this yet? It’s really not that important.
