I realized something from years on this app: people will project all kinds of things onto you cause they have no where else to place it.
You are accessible.
A lot of the people who actually deserve their animosity, are not.
You do not have to take on their projections.

If I tweeted about how therapy has saved my life, I’m met with folks passive aggressively saying it must be nice not everyone gets to have a therapist.

Am I, someone who has survived trauma, the person who deserves this response? Nah government leaders do. But I’m accessible

Like my joke about moms and someone saying “not everyone gets to have a mom.”
I had a narcissistic abusive dad who is why I’m in therapy.
I still dont respond this way.

Yall take your pain out on others cause you have no where to place it. It’s toxic.
Acknowledge this.

Before you respond to someone, ask if you’re internalizing.

If they are just tweeting about their experience, especially if it’s positive, do you need to rain on their parade?

We can hold ourselves accountable for how we respond. We *do not* know peoples trauma
