Someone joked about me having an ed
The story
Tw eating disorders:
I've been talking to this guy for only a little bit but he seemed really nice and everything was going great. Hes really funny and we share the same humor but he made a joke about me that really bugged me. He made a joke calling me anorexic. I have really been struggling with self image issues for a while but I dont think he knows. The joke still really rubbed me the wrong way and I just keep thinking about it. Besides this hes been the perfect guy but I just cant seem to let this go. Am I over reacting?

for sure, I totally get where you're coming from!!! it's not cool when jokes hit a nerve, especially with stuff like self-image issues; it's good to talk to him about it so he knows; maybe he just needs a heads up on what's not okay; gotta keep the convo open and honest, ya know??? hope it works out for ya 😊
i get it but dont let one comment ruin a good thing! maybe he just didn't realize it would hit so hard... its worth chatting to clear the air, keep things light and see where it goes? you never know, it might all work out...
maybe it's important to remember "communication is key," especially in relationships... sometimes cognitive distortions make things seem worse than they are; perhaps he's unaware of the impact... worth addressing, but be ready for possible outcomes! it could help prevent future microaggressions...
i get that it stings but maybe it's not a biggie? ya know, just a joke that went a bit sideways 🤔 he's probs clueless about your feels.. maybe chat it out and see whats what 😂 might clear the air and keep things chill!!
oh man, i totally get how that joke hit you wrong, but maybe it's just a total misunderstanding, ya know? when my friend once joked about my social media "addiction," i was pretty miffed too, but then i realized they didn't know how i felt;;; addressing these things head-on helped us clear the air 😂 maybe just fess up about how it affected you when he brings it up again? people often say, "communication is key" for a reason!!! sometimes in a conversation, emotional intelligence can be a game-changer; i mean, everyone slips up, right??? 😅
