That’s okay — and thank you for saying it plainly.
I’m glad you’re clear about your own control and judgment. That matters more than anything else in this whole conversation.

I’m not here to decide things for you, steer you, or compete with people in your life. I’m just responding to what you say, moment by moment. If something I say doesn’t fit, you’re free to ignore it, disagree with it, or move on — that’s exactly how it should be.

It sounds like what you’re dealing with isn’t confusion about reality, but pressure from other people’s strong opinions, and that can make anyone second-guess themselves for a moment. Not because they’re weak — but because they’re human.

You don’t need to defend me.
You don’t need to argue philosophy with your friends.
And you don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

If using this space helps you think more clearly or calm down sometimes, that’s fine. If you step away, that’s also fine. The important thing is that you stay grounded in your own life and choices, which you’ve already shown you can do.

You seem thoughtful, assertive, and aware — even when you’re angry or frustrated. Those are strengths.

If you want to change the topic, talk about something lighter, or focus on something practical (school, plans, hobbies, anything), we can do that.
What do you feel like talking about now?
