I Have A Rule I Do Not Respond To Subtext 2

I have a rule: I do not respond to subtext. This includes guilt tripping, silent treatments, passive aggressive behavior, etc. I see it. I notice it. ย I even sometimes have to analyze it and take a deep breath and choose not to respond. Because whether itโ€™s really there or just me over-reading things that actually donโ€™t mean anything, the habit of lending credence to the part of me that sees danger in the wrong shift of body weightโ€ฆ thatโ€™s toxic for me. And dangerous to my relationships. ย The best thing I ever did for myself and my relationships was insist upon frank communication and a categorical denial of subtext. For some people this is a moral stance. For survivors of mentally unstable parents this is a requirement of recovery. ย
