Am I in the wrong for defending a situation

...See more I had shared a heavy topic with a listener and this person started to say that I needed to get facts , they could be lying, the situation sounds suspicious extra.. Since I know this situation best I was questioning this person with how can they be lying when they openly shared the information? Why should I get facts when it comes to the loss of someone from their own family? It doesn't make sense.  So then they said go on keep talking to them. See how much your feeling is right. And I responded with, about them loosing a family member? And then they accuse me of being hostile and blocked me. I don't feel that I was being hostile at all. This friends situation has affected me and I've been worried about him, so I don't see how my confusion towards this listener is me being hostile. I'm glad that I don't need to talk to this listener anymore, but it doesn't feel good to be accused of hostility over a situation that's been deeply affecting you,  I don't know..makes you question if telling complete strangers is a good idea anymore.

...See more How do you reassure yourself that removing yourself from a friendship is okay, even when you don't want to do it? mentally and emotionally it's not serving me and being in it makes me re think certain conversations or I'll want to express things that I feel I'm not supposed to cause it's not that kind of close relationship anymore. I feel as if I just struggle each time I decide to reach out again. How does one stop themselves from reaching out without blocking their number? I want to just be able to use my phone without this need to turn it off cause it removes what gives me stress. I am also still used to telling them why I need to remove myself, which also annoys me because I can never just do something for myself without saying anything.

...See more I left my relationship that I was in for 3 years because I never got to see him from how demanding his job is, the hard part about it is that feeling of wanting to back and just push thru it ..but at the same time I had so many strong cravings to just go out on a date and always had to push it away since we couldn't go on dates. so its really hard to manage these emotions cause even if I changed my mind ..it won't change anything
It's part question , part me venting

...See more If your tired of explaining/ going over something that wasn't even supposed to be a huge deal is it rude to just turn off and not engage? this specific conversation has been going on since 11 30 this morning and I'm too annoyed to keep responding. All I want to do is just not deal with it for the rest of the night. I've always been this person who doesn't think of myself first cause I'm always thinking well if I don't then that person will get upset or think I'm just ignoring. but honestly I feel as if I give myself ALL the time even when I'm stressed and I'm tired of being that person. I'm just tired of being the yes person, the catering to every need , want and response. I'm tired of it and I don't want to be that yes person anymore

...See more I feel like I've made a post about this already sorry if I have, but its something that just bothers me I guess and that is partners who get almost offended when you feel jealous about something and you bring it up to them. And then they still will ask why you feel that way after they already know the answers. I don't know I guess my mind says what is so offensive about feeling some type of way lol..its not hurting anyone, its not me acting out in a controlling way. It makes you almost wonder why cant I feel this way when it comes to you? why is it being made into such a bad thing? I really don't understand.

...See more I'd like to know why I get looked at as if I'm crazy for expressing how I feel about something flirtatious that happened but yet if my partner is upset about something similar for some reason its ok and reasonable. I genuinely don't understand the logic in it. most likely going to delete this at some point just needed to get it off my chest

...See more So since I've been dating my bf for about a year now and I've learned that he is more of a I like to be at home type not a huge fan of going to places that may be far and I'm one of those always ready to go on an adventure because I like to experience new things with the person I'm dating and creating memories. WELL I found out that a band that he likes is having a tour this year but the concerts are out of state. problem is I REALLY want to take him to see his fav band and my sisters fiance is able to get free flights cause of the work he does so part of me is really struggling in holding back from asking. BUT at the same time I really want to do this. but also is it not respecting his feeling about not really into going anywhere far and staying home?. Should I talk to him about it? or just forget about the idea?. Thankyou
