i love you semicolon. no one look at my 80 word sentence
i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

hamletâs âi did love you onceâ and opheliaâs âindeed, my lord, you did make me believe soâ is such an underrated gut punch. itâs betrayal itâs heartbreak itâs vulnerability itâs so over. truly no one is doing it like shakespeare

in general I find that "why did someone behave this way" is almost always answered by "behaving otherwise was too difficult and frightening for them at the time," and then you have to dig into why that is. people behave in ways that feel 1. easy for them (do not require much thought or effort) 2. accessible to them (patterns that have worked many times before) and 3. safe for them (apparently predictable outcome)
this is true even for behavior that is absolutely horrific and totally unacceptable. which can be a tough thing to accept, I think.

How to Respond to Criticism
Stop doing everything. Donât say anything or be anything. Get as small as you possibly can without disappearing. Donât exist. Or keep existing, but differently than before.
Remember: criticism is the same thing as wholesale condemnation and also murder, so react accordingly.
Apologize, but donât really mean it, and plant a seed of secret resentment so deep in your own heart that years later you canât even remember that youâre the one who nurtured it and made it grow, it seems that much like a native part of you.
Sink into a hole so deep that no one can ever find you.
No. No. No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO. NO.
JUST DIE. JUST GET SICK AND DIE AND THEN YOUâLL FEEL TERRIBLE YOU EVER SAID THOSE THINGS BECAUSE IâLL BE DEAD AND YOUâLL BE SO SO SO SORRY AND YOUâLL WISH YOU COULD BRING ME BACK BUT YOU CANâT.
Give up on all of your goals immediately.
Tell everyone you know about the criticism, but in a way that makes it clear that you expect them to publicly find it ridiculous and assure you thereâs not a shred of truth to it. Do this repeatedly, first while sober, then later after several glasses of wine on a Wednesday afternoon when no one else is really drinking except for you. âCan you believe it?â Ask them that repeatedly. âCan you believe that? About me?â Ask until no one will meet your eyes.
Remember that life is a rich tapestry.
Become so rich and strong and tall that youâre a giant made out of gold and nobody can hurt you and everything you do is perfect and you can use your laser diamond eyes to melt the lungs of your enemies.
Dwell on it.
You can either be perfect or the biggest piece of shit who ever existed but not both, so if the criticism is right, you are the biggest piece of shit who ever existed. If it is not right, you are perfect and everyone else is wrong.
Fall in love with whoever criticized you. Donât walk away until youâve ruined their marriage.
Whisper their criticism every night to yourself until you have it memorized, word for word. Remember it forever. Have the words stitched into the shroud that covers your body before youâre lowered into the tomb so you and your criticism can embrace one another for eternity.
Do not rise above it. Never rise above anything. The sky is no place for a human.
Be sure not to separate the tone of the criticism from the content. If it was said ungracefully, it cannot be true. If it was said reasonably, it cannot be false.
Send an email explaining why you donât deserve to be criticized, then another six emails after that, each one explaining the last, like a set of Russian nesting dolls that donât think itâs your fault.
Set fire to something that was once beautiful.
Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe thereâs a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say âAre you okay?â and you say âI think soâ and they say âoh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankleâ and you say âitâs okayâ and they say âyouâre so braveâ and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says âoh wowâ and âyou poor beautiful thingâ and âIâm so sorry we let you run into the cave but Iâm so glad we found youâ and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everythingâs their fault and also they named the cave after you and youâre prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave.
Remember that there are only two kinds of people in the world: fans and haters. No true fan would ever express a criticism of you or your work; conversely no hater could ever seek to engage in a good-faith debate about something you said or did they disagree with. Dismiss everything everyone has to say about you.
Move away.
If itâs a close friend, say âThank you for being so honest with me,â and then never talk to them again.
Do something with your feelings right away. It doesnât matter what. Lash out, make a sculpture, whatever.
Log into YouTube and call someone âliving Hitlerâ and âa waste of skinâ until you feel better about yourself.
Remember, if someone doesnât like your work, that means they donât like you, and they wish that you had never been born, so just lay down in the road and die.

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me
i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive
