- "[positive thing], but..." As in, "You look nice, but if you'd only lose some weight/style your hair better/get nicer clothes, you'd look gorgeous!" Gee, thanks. Hearing this over and over again has given me a reaction of waiting for the "but..." in just about any compliment. It's not fun.
- When I'm told not to overreact. This is mainly in regards to my crying. It's frustrating because now they see me as "weak". And then I get all meta-upset because I think they expect me to firm up and take it, where I will tend to crumple and cry harder. This means that not only am I weak, but a failure as well.
- [insert marginalized group here] is obviously the cause of our current problems. Yeah, no.
- Mexico/Puerto Rico = All of Latin America "None of the Above" covers a huge-ass area of land, everyone.
- My Own Expression Block. Although I'm good at the writing thing, getting my feelings out can be like pulling teeth because I've taken to heart all the wrong life lessons about when it's appropriate to show negative emotion. (Basically, probably not until you're living with the person, and even then sporadically.) This is obviously not healthy, so of course when someone allows me to share it's emotional diarrhea that ends in me a sobbing, self-loathing wreck.
- All Hispanics/Latin@s = illegal immigrant housecleaners and nannies. No. Fuck you.
- Being Late
EvenEspecially if it's caused by my own faffing about. I don't know why, because I was late to school all the time when I was younger.
