The Situation

"He calls me dramatic for tracking symptoms"

The Brutal Truth

This is a classic example of emotional manipulation where he dismisses your valid concerns. By labeling you as dramatic, he’s deflecting responsibility and invalidating your feelings. It’s a tactic meant to control the narrative and undermine your self-worth.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to prove they're not dramatic by over-explaining or apologizing for their feelings. This is the wrong move because it reinforces his narrative and undermines your self-worth; you shouldn’t have to justify your needs or emotions.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What boundaries do I need to establish to protect my emotional health in relationships?
