𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧 A𝐬𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐭

I recently heard the term asshat and it may be my new favorite word.

My conversation went something like this:

AH: When I have a panic attack I take Rescue Remedy™

My response: I just took Rescue Remedy™ and it caused a panic attack.

𝐀𝐇: 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐎𝐋, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞. 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

LESSONS from the Asshat:

1. Gaslighting 101: Mock someone for an issue and then “apologize.”
2. Remember, what works for one person to treat anxiety may not work for another person.
