Are you making fun of me?

I’m really a sensitive person but tbh I have my moments of being insensitive to others, mostly on here so what goes around comes around. I can read something I wrote the following day and kick myself in the butt… and be like hey skunk was that really necessary?

Like some innocent guy will be walking past me wearing a red bow tie, for example.

And I’ll interpret that red bow tie to have some deeper meaning which is designed to send me a message…or to make fun of me.

I’ve run into the problem where i say things that I think are completely mundane, even me trying to reassure someone and be nice, and it turns out I hurt their feelings instead. So it definitely happens both ways.

Okay, thanks. I don’t think I have that, that I’m aware of.

Once while psychotic, there was a napkin lying on the pavement by my car.

I broke that down into ‘nap kin’…KIDNAP KIN!! My daughters are my kin and I thought someone had placed that napkin by my car to tell me my girls were going to be kidnapped.

So I raced down to their school…took them out of class…and brought them home with me.

I know…I know…crazy stuff. And I did even nuttier stuff than that on tons of occasions.

I think that’s the purpose of emojis.

If I used more emojis it would help.

I don’t feel people make fun here but sometimes I feel people say things in a sarcastic tone just to get at me.

What’s the purpose of emojis?

The purpose of emojis is to signal that you are just joking or having a bit of fun…that you are not to be taken literally, etc…

To express emotion.

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out emotions reading text.

I just kind of assume everyone hates me. But I’m getting better about that.

Tbh I normally beat everybody to the punch when it come to insulting me 90% of the time cause I make endless jokes about how shitty I am as a person

You might want to figure out separately and alone how and what people make fun of stuff for. It is helpful to think of things that people are just too loose about their fun that negativity can creep in.

I’m a bit overweight and sometimes my mom blurts out when she’s talking to the dog saying stuff like “You’re so overweight, you should exercise more.” I don’t know if she’s mocking me or I’m just being paranoid.

Yes, I get loaded questions and loaded comments to me all the time.

I have that problem too, I thought many people in the street are making fun of me. Maybe for the way I walk or because Im shy.

I read too much into people’s gestures. And tightly control my own behavior.

I percieve slights where none were intended.

I’m sorry that you have been going through such a rough time lately @LED.
I misinterpret stuff all the time. Many people who aren’t sick do this too.
I just said something to my girlfriend to cheer her up and instead, she got pissed and told me that it wasn’t a nice thing to say.
Now I’m sitting here alone trying to figure out why we’re fighting again.

I’m sorry. I hope you guys are able to figure things out soon. Arguing with those you love is never fun.
