she's... really not taking it well that i've been an adult who she no longer raises for like. a bit now.

oh my god my parents do this too it's intensely awful

Goldmare: ew. :/ both my parents like to periodically ask me if i'm sure i have a) enough friends, and b ) enough Quality friends who i get some personal benefit out of

no just to feel really guilty when i want to spend time alone and not with my friends, and to approach friendship in a really strategic way of "do they do anything for me? no? then wasting my time"

Oh jeez the "why are you being antisocial" ugh

My mom is a huge extrovert. My dad is an introvert. I am somewhere in between

My tolerance for people lasts longer than Dad's but not by much
