Omg I just realized something hilarious! My mom always tells everyone how “stoic” I am, especially doctors and stuff, like, “she never tells me how she’s feeling or if there’s something wrong! I worry so much because she never tells me anything!”
Anyways what I just realized, after like 20 years of this, is that whenever I do tell my mom about something that’s bothering me, she immediately starts telling me what I’m doing wrong. Like even when I’m sick I might say something like “wow my throat hurts a lot” and she’ll be like “well you should have been drinking more water!!”
