Seemingly innocent things that hurt so much more
There’s a lot of people who think parents aren’t allowed to guilt their kids to keep them in line, but of course those people are all underage and hence can never be right. (after all… there is no such thing as ‘the truth’, there is only perspective and that of a parent usually wins.) Anyway… “I’m not mad at you son, I’m just disappointed”.
Yes, this kind of mind games are the purpose of this post and I even had to put some spaces between it to make that clear! You pretend you’re not something bad, to then end it by saying you’re something that’s horrible. Since I’ve never really thought about this, I figured it’d be cool to see if I could come up with new ones apart from the famous disappointment one. Here it goes:
“You weren’t that bad, I’ve had even smaller.”
“It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just that I’m not attracted to you.”
“It’s nothing personal, I just don’t like the way you teach your class and I can’t learn anything like that.” (okay… that one was mine when I got myself in a position of giving constructive criticism to a teacher that annoyed me because I’m a jerk :P)
“No, no… you’re not silly, you’re just a immature.”
“You’re not dumb, someone just forgot to put on the light in there.”
“Girl, you are pretty damn gorgeous, for a slut I mean.”
“You don’t smell bad, I think you just disgust me in general.”
“I’d do you, but only if I was REALLY drunk.”
If you can come up with any more, feel free to comment and let them be known!
