You dont get frustrated with them because they had an uncomfortable reaction to something you said.
You have to understand there are moments that are going to make them feel uneasy.
You cannot accuse them of overreacting.
Wendy Liu
You cannot tell them tocalm downbecauseits not that big of a deal.
The tiniest things can cause debilitating memories to rise to the surface.
The sight of blood.
The scent of a certain perfume.
The sound of a beer tab opening.
Its not just the obvious things.
Love is a learning experience.
Your girlfriend with anxiety is not going to act the same as your sister with anxiety.
Your boyfriend with depression is not going to act the same as your best friend with depression.
Instead of making them feel silly, validate their feelings.
They will hide their truth from you.
You do not intentionally hurt them as a joke or to spite them.
You go out of your way to treat them right because they have always done the same for you.
