an expectation of strength

Idk ive helped a friend or two thru situations with tough love

You're a big boy I expect you to be able to handle it

because i respect you

tough love is good sometimes when the person NEEDS to be told something

you always need to be told the truth

always

but did you NEED to tell me that im a robot

and that im mentally unstable

I do if I think you might be

don't I?

no

what

having the expectation that you can talk whatever shit you want and that nobody will get mad or go off on you is foolish

"shit"

did you even consider the fact that i wasnt even looking for advice

No

i didnt want your two cents eris

That's bad

you should want everyone's two cents

Eris' way of showing care is something you can't handle. Thats just how it is.
Tough love and tough truths are difficult for some people to handle.

^

bro you cant handle someone talking shit to your face in the name of advice

My definition of caring is different than yours

If you vent to someone expect them to give you their opinion?

i do

i dont expect them to insult me tho lol

I didn't insult you.

@Eris in what way were you helping Maggie?

i t old you you did

TWICE

I told you I didn't.

More than twice.

whether or not i take it as an insult is up to me

like youve said

so it was an insult

No it isnt

Sometimes its a person-by-person basis.
Friend #1? I'll be super tough on them and it ends up working.

Friend #2? Gotta stay calm and try to help them through their emotional turmoil until I can give my opinion on the matter.

whether or not it is an insult is an objective fact

you can't just *make* something an insult by deciding it is

ok well then
