The moment you realize that people might not have the capacity to acknowledge your feelings (especially when they are people who are supposedly close to you) will always hurt. I think it is definitely one of those revelations that will set you free. It’s insanely tiring fighting for something you believe in immensely when the receiving end doesn’t have the capacity to understand the concept regardless of how you deliver your message (i don’t mean by pigeon…)
I would say that in these instances, it’s just important to cover all your bases and ensure that the message you are conveying is really as clear as it could be. If after this, the receiving party still does not understand, don’t bother wasting any extra energy conveying a message which will never get through.
Remember to surround yourself with others that make you feel loved, smart, and admired and will also call you out on your bs with the best intentions in mind. Most importantly, believe in yourself, love yourself, and know that even when you have dumb moments, you are still smart AF. You are the only person you can trust to make you feel a certain way.
