#(e.g. photos messages souvenirs from trips together) that i can actually hold in my hands when they're not there

sorry but this is one of the dumbest things anyone has ever said to me

#ok so i was on my depressive shit today and i was talking abt how i saw a group of friends out today #and one of them hung back and took a picture of the others #and how i generally think those candid picture people post on instagram or whatever are bullshit but this was obviously real #like she was having a good time and she thought her friends looked cute and she wanted to immortalise the moment so she took a photo #and how i feel like because nobody ever does that for me my brain tells me that nobody likes me that much #and this person responded with this long message abt how lots of people don't want candid pictures because they might be unflattering #or because it's rude to take pictures or that they're lost in the moment and don't think abt taking pics (which is a fair point) #and then. this point??? which just??? #aside from completely ignoring the thing i was upset about it's just obviously bullshit #and actually specifically contradicts something i said about how my brain forgets that people care about me unless i have proof #(e.g. photos messages souvenirs from trips together) that i can actually hold in my hands when they're not there #to remind myself that i am loved? like that was something i specifically said and she just responds with this? #i know i'm overreacting and she was intending to make me feel better but it's actually annoyed me #also i replied and she left me on read #just ignore me i'm ranting and i know i'm insane and unreasonable #🧃
