> I think that you can be upset initially, the question is whether you stay upset. And so much of that has to do with who the person was to you? A close friend or sister, or someone from work with whom you only have a professional relationship?
It was an aquantaince who initially comented on me seeming agitated, I then explained that I had a lot on my mind. She said I seemed really distressed when I said that and that I looked sad. then she said that I seemed to have a lot on my mind and should consider talking to someone about it, was phrased a bit differnet. Now that I re-tell it it doenst sound as bad as it did initially but I think what I was feeling from her was her hesitation in saying exactly what she meant, her implication of "it", as though it were taboo, and you could see how awkward it was for her. i also was probably reacting to the fact that she picked up on it, I don't like that.
> I have had people cross professional boundary lines w/ me about getting therapy. It was manipulative and hurtful and I think I have every right to be upset with their misbehavior. On the other hand, I have had similar conversations w/ people I trusted and that felt very differently.

> As for the question of how much you "wear your heart on your sleeve," I think it is really hard to know. People vary so much in their ability to tell how someone else is doing. People who tell me that they can see I'm doing much better when I'm much worse. Or people who don't notice when I'm sitting next to them and crying! I try to take a very cosmic POV on it: if they noticed perhaps someone needed to notice, you know?Yeah, I know what you mean

> Now this has nothing to do with whether you actually are crazy!lmao
Just kidding, only someone else who has been in the same spot can make such a joke! But seriously, I hope things look up soon.
