No one is triggered. Triggered is a psychological response to trauma. Not thinking someone is wrong.

People thinking you’re an idiot is not them being emotional.

How was their response emotional?

Dude. None of us are doctors. I’m speaking from the experience of a full grown adult who has had many types of bruises and seen people with “normal” black eyes. It’s pure anecdotal.

I’m just saying this will not go away in a couple days.

Go to the damn doctor.

This is not a normal black eye. A normal black eye is swollen right away but usually doesn’t look fully bruised until the next day.

Think of the number of color changes a bruise goes through. How it looks small when it’s purple, but when it’s in the green phase, somehow it continues to spread. This is not a couple days. This is a couple weeks.

Put ice on it now and any time you aren’t working. Keep your head elevated above your heart. The inflammation itself will take a few days to go down, but that bruise is epic.

Oh lort. Please dump this toxic gatekeeping trash.

Next time she tries to kiss you, is she going to all of a sudden forget that she said you aren’t gay?

I know you have a lot of shame and identity shit to contend with, so please. DTMFA and go to therapy so you don’t continue to brush off when someone tries to tear you down like that.

Do you think teenagers only wear outrageously trendy clothing? Or that moms in their 40’s can’t wear cool things? Or maybe she just wanted a tshirt.

Her mom is toxic AF, but she’s not elderly.

Are you OP? You’ve responded to almost every comment calling OP out.
