#except i dont wanna be treated like an injured chipmunk i wanna be treated like a mysterious feral cat that makes people feel

this is so unimportant i just wanna vent so i’m putting this under a cut haha

lmao one of the biggest pet peeves i have abt my father is result of three of his personality traits: 1) he has a bad memory; 2) he is opinionated but will change his opinions; and 3) he hates to be corrected. so this means he will express an opinion to me once, and then later express the exact opposite opinion without even realizing that he’s already talked to me about the same subject. and if i call him on it, he gets super defensive.

so like for example, i’m supposed to get my second vaccine tomorrow. i’m supposed to go back to this place in boston, where i had the first one. my dad drove me the first time and he’s going to drive me tomorrow as well, but like every other day since, he’s been like “we should see if we can move your appointment somewhere closer, i don’t wanna drive into boston again if we don’t have to” (even though most of the time my dad boasts about how cool he is with driving in cities!) so anyway my mom finally figured out how i might be able to move my appointment closer tomorrow, and i texted them both saying “that sounds good, i’m sure dad will be relieved to not have to drive into boston” and he’s like “i don’t mind driving in boston” !!!!!! BITCH then what have you been complaining about for the past month! lmao i mean i know this isn’t really that annoying in the grand scheme of things. it’s just so annoying to KNOW that i’m right about something that factually happened (and my mother agrees!) but it’s so unimportant and pointless that arguing over it would just be petty. except i’m right, even though it’s about something unimportant, i’m still right and i want credit for that lmao!

#this is so stupid hahaha #my desire to be right all the time is definitely one of my worst traits #also my family does this thing i think #where if they're uncomfortable with something #they just kind of go ’oh shannon's uncomfortable w that’ #i'm like the anxiety scapegoat theyre like ’well if im uncomfortable shannon will DEFINITELY be so i can just blame her #and everyone in the family treats shannon like an injured chipmunk anyway so no one will care' #except i dont wanna be treated like an injured chipmunk i wanna be treated like a mysterious feral cat that makes people feel #extremely special if i decide to snuggle with them’ #wishful thinking lmao
