Something hurts your feelings.
You say so.
“You’re overreacting.”
“It was just a joke.”
“Why are you making such a big deal out of it?”
Someone laughs. Someone rolls their eyes. The conversation keeps going.
It happens again. Different people. Different reasons. The same words.
“You’re too sensitive.”
“It wasn’t that bad.”
Nobody asks what happened. Nobody asks what you heard. Nobody asks why it hurt.
