Have you ever been in cases where someone made an extremely offensive joke about you but you don't want to react because they will find you oversensitive or short-tempered, when you react the table turns, now nobody is on your side, and no one wants to hear your side of the story, all they care about was why you had to react that way, then you become ” The villain ”
It all happened when I was in secondary school,
we all have some brutal-speaking friends, yeah me I had so many 😂
I woke up feeling really down more like I was having malaria, I couldn't property, and I couldn't do things normally after I left for class from the hostel that morning (I attended a boarding school) I couldn't go to assembly because there was no way I could go.
After everyone was back from the assembly they all settled down, including my friends as well because of how noisy and stuffy the class became the class I started feeling nauseous more and I wanted to throw up, I had to run outside and I couldn't run that fast so I threw up in the class
Yes in front of the class literally 😪😂
Then I was rushed to the sick bay and was treated well, when I got better I continued my usual school activity which included going to classes obviously. When I got there my friends were all sitted looking like they've done something wrong, so I asked when I got to my sit
” what's wrong why is everyone staring at me “
And one of them responded and said
“When you were acting like the way your mum was acting before she had you”
He said it jokingly and they were all laughing thinking I would as well laugh at the silly joke, but I mean who takes jokes on mothers? I mean you can joke with other thing but my mum, it was a NO for me.
Oh my God I didn't find it funny at all, I looked at him and gave him a warning (like we had issues before) and I was looking very fierce but they were all lost and shocked, and they said
” No be play we dey with you” “aren't we joking with you” (in English)
And I became upset the more because of the fact that were trying justify their wrong behavior which was absolutely wrong to me, Nobody jokes with thing like that, especially me, I don't joke with my mum and they as well got angry and started gaslighting me (because of how the helped me during my sick period) and that was how I became the wicked one.😂 I couldn’t even argue with them anymore because it look like I was being too sensitive and the best way for me not be gaslighted I just ignore them for a while and stayed on my own.
At the end of it all I forgave them and we all settled and since them they’ve always respected the fact that I didn’t like when “my mum” is being used in such context and we’ve always been good.
Thank you so much for reading, until I see you next time stay cool. I’m
