My entire life, I have always been told that I am “overemotional”, “overreacting”, etc. to any given situation. Whenever anything bad is happening to me or someone else, I am not supposed to respond or react because it makes me “overdramatic”. I don’t understand how people just stand by and let assholes be assholes either to themselves or to others. I am never ok with that and I get frustrated at injustices. But it has gotten me into trouble my entire life.
Why is it that my feelings are less valid than others? Why am I supposed to let people walk all over me? Why don’t I matter?
Seems like that’s a question that should be directed at whomever is telling you your emotions aren’t valid. We surely dont know.
