A Typical Conversation Of A Pleaser

There you are! Hi honey, where’ve you been? I was getting worried.

Hey. Worried, about what? And why do you always ask me that? Why does it matter where I’ve been, I’m here now, aren’t I?

Well, yeah, sorry, I was just worried, I know how stressed you’ve been lately, and…

Well, your hovering doesn’t help things. Don’t apologize for that, it’s silly.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hover, I just wanted you to know that you’re not alone, that’s all.

Not alone? Ha, now that’s funny.

What? Why is that funny? I’m here, why would you say that?

No, we’re not doing this now. Please, don’t start with me, that’s the last thing I need, just don’t.

I’m sorry. ..

Stop saying that! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! My God, do you even hear what you sound like? Its pathetic. I’d rather you not say anything at all.

I’m sor….

See? Like a parrot, saying the same thing over and over. Tell me, what exactly are you sorry about? Did you do something wrong, something I don’t know about?

No…I

Then why the hell are you always saying it? It’s ridiculous.

I, I am just trying to be understanding, sympathetic to your feelings. I didn’t mean to make you mad, why are you so angry?

Why am I angry? saying I’m sorry a thousand times is supposed to make me feel better? I’ll tell you how it makes me feel. It makes me feel irritated.

sorry…

Shut up already, if you don’t have anything better than that to say to me. Ah, come on. Why are you crying?! Yeah, this doesn’t stress me out, not at all.

I’m sorry! I don’t know why you’re so angry with me, I was only trying to help.

You’re sorry, again? Hahaha

Well, I am sorry. I’m sorry I made you mad, when all I wanted to do was help you and I’m sorry that all you see is me hovering and being annoying. That’s not at all what I intended. I’m sorry….

Then maybe you should just stay quiet. Okay? Help me by staying out of my way. Is that easy enough for you?

Out of your way? I didn’t know I was in your way. I’m sorry that’s how you feel, I only wanted to help you.

Well, you’re not helping, and now, this conversation is wearing me out. Seriously, I don’t have the energy to deal with your insecurities. Oh my god, stop crying, you know I say things I don’t mean when I’m frustrated.

I know..

So, just drop it. I’m ok, and I don’t need you trying to fix anything for me, okay?

Yeah…

So, you don’t have anything else to say, does this mean you’re mad? I don’t want to deal with your moping around.

No, I’m fine.

Oh, fine? Great, the rest of the day is ruined.

No it’s not, I’m just being quiet like you asked me to.

Oh sure, so it’s all my fault now? Nice.

I never said anything was your fault, I was just trying to help, really, I am so sorry.

Sorry
