WHEN A FRIEND OR YOUR KID OR ANYONE YOU KNOW HAS PROBLEMS WITH LAKES AND OCEANS AND LARGE BODIES OF WATER DON’T MAKE FUN OF THEM OR PUSH THEM IN OR THROW THEIR STUFF INTO THE WATER BECAUSE IT HIGHLIGHTS HOW MUCH OF A FUCKING ASSHOLE YOU ARE
THIS APPLIES TO ALL PHOBIAS. DON’T MAKE FUN OF THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR FEARS OR EXPOSE THEM TO WHAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF.
I’m sorry.
I don’t mind people making fun of me for the whales, if that’s what the sorry is for. Seriously, that’s fine and funny. <:)
But I would be upset if someone threw my stuff in the water. o_o
…and I was very upset when an ex friend of mine held my arms in the middle of the night, in the dark, when we were alone, and told me that I just needed to “get over” my claustrophobia and that he was helping. And wouldn’t let go no matter how many times I asked. And then went into a panic attack.
He laughed at me. I never trusted him again. That thing is why I reblogged this, actually… not about the whales. <3
