Psychological issues
Hi this is my first post in this group. This post is about the flair I used and also a second flair of relationships.
Now I'd like to make myself clear on my understanding of relationships.
I believe a relationship is something almost 100% of use have whether it's an Intimate relationship or a friendship or with a family member or a distant relative, we are all in that since a relationship.
Now let's get to my mental health issues.
I have a close friend who disrespects me on purpose when we spend time together, the form of disrespect comes in the form when we spend time together we share stories, we take turns talking about our life experiences since the last time we visited each other,
now sometimes this one individual responds to my story of what I experienced the last time we visited was a couple weeks ago. Well one year ago I had an accident and got an injury that caused me to lose my job and force me to move into a different profession wich I'm still struggling with, but so during this last year after my injury I was going to physical therapy and one of the therapists hurt my injury extremely bad worsening my recovery conditions made fun of it and laughed over it, at that point I controlled myself well and left with no escalations, that was about 11 months ago now and my injury recovery made a very good recovery in the last two weeks since the last time we visited each other.
When I was telling the part of my injury making a strong amount of recovery unexpectedly in the last two weeks my friend responded against my recovery to protect what the physical therapist thinks of my friend, understanding I'm holding the therapist accountable for the actions causing my injury to severely worsen.
I'm no longer friends with this person as a result, and to give more closure to this friend of mine it is my dad.
My dad often tried to teach me that the biggest priority in life is caring about what others think about you
I think it is important to care what others think about me however that care for your thoughts about me don't go really far at all, no disrespect but if we care so much about what others think about us we will loose 100% of who we are as an individual and others will not make us happy or do what we want.
My dad is crying sorry now and I'm ignoring him.
I know this hurts him an overwhelming amount but I can't afford myself psychologically or emotionally to spend any of my time sharing life experiences with through story mode of a conversation and get disrespected to protect what anyone thinks about the person I'm speaking to based off of no reality but from the imagination that someone who was never met is a priority over respect to my life experience that I like you enough to share the information of what I have experienced and I am going through.
What do you guys think?
Am I wrong for being so strick with my interpersonal core values against my friends/ dad's nonsense.
Is my dad's nonsense actually nonsense or am I going overboard.
Your input means everything thanks in advance.
