It Says A Lot When

You don’t need words

Your behavior says it all

You placed a target on my back within 2 months of meeting you

You assumed I was an easy target

As the months have gone by, the tension grew

A pattern emerged

You kept assuming things that weren’t true and you hovered when the suspicion became all consuming

Then you treated me like I had the black plague

Slowly, suspicions grew again

Then the hovering

The cycle and pattern kept repeating

Until you blew up at me for something I didn’t do

Since then, the cycle has started to repeat at a quicker pace

You’re coming across as paranoid

But you’re projecting that paranoia onto me and accusing me of being mentally unfit

You even asked me at one point in front of my son if I was mentally ill during one of your spying sessions

Only for you to crawl back into your cave after I refused to acknowledge your accusation

Your behavior and actions speak for you

You think you’re the normal one

Even though you throw a fit when someone moves your items when you leave them in the way (and you’ve told MULTIPLE TIMES to put things away)

Even though you lock every one out, even when you see them outside but refuse to acknowledge their presence

Even though you treat the place like you’re the only one living here, but get mad when someone wants to makes use of the shared space

When you say you want to ‘help’ but then refuse to do so when it’s your turn

When you complain about others not cleaning up after themselves but you turn around and do the exact same thing

Because it’s become apparent that you have a ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ philosophy

And there’s been a few times where your actions come across as abusive

But it says a lot about you

In how you’ve been treating others

It says a lot about you

When you refuse to acknowledge that you’re a source a tension

It says a lot about you

In who you choose to target and how you go about it
