Hi vanessa,

Is your friend a trained therapist? No, of course not! Sometimes we do not know what to say or we say the wrong thing. Or we don’t say enough about a thing or we can’t stop talking about a thing.

Now, my best friend said to me when we were younger, “You think too much” which is a similar statement you received. I realized then and there, “Hey! Maybe I do think to much!” My friend is not perfect and we’ve butted heads over the years, but I did not view her statement as unsupportive. If it was, it was probably due to her own fatigue or her own problems she was immersed in.

Sometimes (especially in texts!) it’s best to take statements at face value.

Remember, the only perfect person that ever lived was Jesus Christ. And only if you believe in that. Know what I mean? Give your friend a break.

Best,

Inky
