can you tell me
what I need right now
to feel like myself and not
a mask
or whatever
STOP explaining yourself
STOP listening to what your mom says
she's getting supply
by confusing you
she's not TRYING to make SENSE
you should talk to her
LIKE
normal people talk to cats
HOW
do "normal" people talk to cats
I can't explain it to YOU
YOU don't talk to ANYTHING like normal people talk to cats
WHY don't you try to confuse HER
when she says things like
they just left him there
DEAD
TRY
something like
DID his GHOST dance around the room?
COULD you FEEL his SPIRIT leave his body?
OR
HOW MANY different types of ELEPHANTS are there?
HOW LONG until your SPIRIT animal returns from the seminar on training it's HUMAN?
WHAT is your SECRET name?
ANYTHING
that makes no sense will probably work
MAYBE
if you have your own
FICTIONAL world
it'll make her
insecure
about hers
BUT
& this is important
DON'T EMOTIONALLY ENGAGE
neutral happy
SILLY HAPPY, whatever
make her worry that you've
LOST your MIND
LIKE
MAYBE
she can't TRUST your judgement
that's the GOAL
UNREACHABLE
HOW
am I supposed to DO THAT
DUNNO
I'm guessing it will be SUPER difficult
BUT
just PRETEND you're a normal person
who doesn't listen
who doesn't talk to learn things
repeat things she says
A LOT
DON'T listen
SEEM to have an imaginary friend
SCARE HER
I don't know if I can do that
DON'T ASK
if you don't want the ANSWER
