When I'm upset, I NEED comforting words & affection. My older cousin, who I'm attached to refuses to give either even when I ask. When I'm not in a crisis, she has no problem with it. Some people also invalidate me. They tell me my problems aren't a big deal & that it's all in my head. You can tell people the same things over & over and they STILL don't get it. Either that or they just don't care like they said they did. Another thing people do is constantly compare me to people who are more normal as if I should be jealous or something. I know some people don't know any better. No one's born being able to understand everything about everyone. It's just irritating when you inform people of your needs, insecurities & sensitivity level but they STILL treat you as if you never told them at all. It's hard to tell if they truly care about you when the continue to say the same things they KNOW are hurtful.
