No idea what to title this

I think my friend has no idea what she’s saying. It’s..hurtful to me, ngl. It seems a bit ignorant maybe? Probably too strong of a word though (English isn’t my first language so my apologies) 😢

“You’ll over come your anxiety! It wouldn’t be permanent unless you let it take over you, you should practice talking to people!”

I said I might have selective mutism and how I struggled a lot with it
And they said I’d overcome anxiety just like that?? Practicing talking to people? Not letting it take over? 😥

Wow such helpful advice🤗! I’m sure it’s that easy! It really isn’t 😐. She hasn’t struggled with it, so why is she down playing it, even if she struggled with it..it doesn’t mean it’s the same 😓

Buddy, I tried that as well, trying or practicing talking to people . That’s why I’m still struggling. 🫩

I heard it’s best to get professional help but I can’t do that 💔, my mother’s health is struggling and I don’t want to add more for the family. And who knows how my family would actually act? Their kid with disorder(s)..😓 (neither me or my sibling is diagnosed with any disorders, as well as my parents tbh)

Sigh..and the fact I said to that friend that my mother is having medical problems and they asked “is she’s ok?” I said “yes and no” and they really asked “why ‘no’?” Oh idk, maybe’s because she’s having medical problems??? What else? And I’m not going to tell you what’s happening to my mother, when you know nothing much about me 😓. Why do I have to tell you if you’re asking for that..

“Oh I didn’t mean it’s easy” then why did you say all of that omg???? 😭 Yeah bro I should just overcome it 😓. You made it seem like you don’t understand and stuff so why dont you not say something you don’t understand, I get wanting to help but when you literally make it seem like you have no idea what I was ever talking about just..makes it worse.😥

Like when I said I might have selective mutism at first you LITERALLY said to me “might have to change that!” like. 😥 If you don’t know what I’m saying just google it. It’s not even voluntary. I just can’t talk even if when I wanted to, when I planned out my conversation, it’s like someone muted me. 💔

I said “it doesn’t work like that” and for her to say it the stuff above. (Overcoming, etc)

It’s just like telling someone to try and breathe when they have asthma. And knowing the person has it. 🤧. It’s ok if you think this example isn’t the same but for me it really is. I struggled with selective mutism for years, and it got worse, if I really can over come it, why did it get worse? 😓

Also, if someone suggests me for healthy habits, I don’t really have bad habits in general…so…yeah… (eg I don’t sleep late anymore, I mostly eat home cooked meals, etc) 😢
But I will appreciate if anyone have advice I never tried 💖
(Which isn’t “trying to talk to people”, “health habits - eg eating, sleeping”)
Also thank you for reading..if you did..it’s..a lot.. 🫩🫩🫩..

Putting emojis and this text cause it’s just a rant/vent and people shouldn’t take my rant too seriously (and dislike my own opinion + feelings !)

I might start doing drama again to help me now
