why does my(22f) boyfriend(22m) keep saying i think i’m “all that”?
my boyfriend has told me many times that i have “headweight,” that i think i’m a “big deal,” and that i’m “not all that.” he wasn’t joking when he said it, and it honestly hurt me. today, i was having tea with my friends and there were some guys from my class. when i stood up, i slipped, my chair fell, and the guys there laughed. i told my boyfriend about it and said “it was humbling” because i was embarrassed and was making fun of myself. but he seriously said that i have a lot of headweight and that i think i’m a big deal, and then said, “you’re not all that.” i honestly don’t know why he said that. i wasn’t trying to act like i’m special or better than anyone. i was literally telling him about an embarrassing moment where i slipped in front of people 😭. this also isn’t the first time he has said things like this.
TL;DR: my boyfriend repeatedly tells me i have “headweight,” think i’m a big deal, and that i’m “not all that.” today i told him about an embarrassing moment where i slipped in front of some classmates and said “it was humbling,” and he used that to say i think too highly of myself.
