emotionally manipulative things you should never say to people:
“i would kill myself without you”
“everyone leaves me, don’t leave me like they did”
basically anything that guilts the other person into staying in a relationship with you
this post is important
yoooo this shit doesn’t even have to apply to romantic relationships like if you have friends saying this kind of garbage to you it’s time to re-evaluate who you hang out with
I know a lot of people want to make friends on here, and a lot of people think just sending a message, ‘HEY I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND!’ or a long message about how much you admire them will suddenly make you two besties but that usually isn’t how it works and a lot of times those messages can be really overwhelming and put the other person on the spot because they don’t want to hurt your feelings but at the same time they don’t know you and don’t know how to react to you. Like, commenting back and on forth on posts, keeping tabs on their interests and sharing their interests, if they mention something going on and you message them about that situation rather than who they are like, ‘OMG THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! ARE YOU OKAY? AFTERWARDS I WAS LIKE-’ rather than ‘I LOVE YOU PLEASE LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES!’ because one starts a conversation and other you just get a ‘ha, thanks’ , these things start the conversation and the person you want to be friends with gets to know you and they aren’t suddenly overwhelmed by you. Friendship is familiarity and comfort, and you can’t really start that off by being aggressive.
