Shoot me...

Conversation with me, my bf and my friend john:
----------------------------3 Days Ago--------------------------
(1:25 PM) Mr. Squishy: might i ask when you became a man?

(1:25 PM)
 BF: when i was 14
(1:26 PM)
Mr. Squishy: and i believe zay has told me that you are now 22 correct?
(1:27 PM)
 BF: no tht i didnt know
(1:27 PM)
Mr. Squishy: how old are you then if you dont mind me asking? im 19
(1:28 PM)
 BF: ill be 23 in aug..ur 19..young (1:29 PM) Mr. Squishy:
its cool that you and zay have your birthdays in the same month. and hey now, zay is younger than i am

(1:30 PM)
 BF: i know he is..he will be legal soon though
(
1:30 PM)
Mr. Squishy: legal for what?
(1:30 PM)
ZayJROD: of age silly
(1:31 PM)
 BF: yea..he could do whatever without parental permission is all
(1:32 PM)
Mr. Squishy: ah, i apologize. my mind went to dirty thoughts 
(1:32 PM)
 BF: hmm..well i wasnt thinking about sex..i was thinking about another type of thing..
(1:33 PM)
Mr. Squishy: as in legally being allowed to change her gender without needing parental consent?
(1:34 PM)
 BF: he isnt a her...yes that is what i meant its alot easier for him to transition after that
(1:36 PM)
Mr. Squishy: im not trying to offend anyone, but you must understand that im still working on getting used to referring to zay as a guy. ive known him as ayanna, a girl, for a VERY long time
(1:37 PM)
 BF: i understand, just try to correct urself is all..its cool

------------------Side Chat with just John as the above conversation continues------------------

1:29 PM)
Mr. Squishy: zay?
(1:29 PM)
ZayJROD: yes sir?
(1:30 PM)
Mr. Squishy: am i allowed to talk to just as you as well?
(1:30 PM)
ZayJROD: huh?
(1:31 PM)
Mr. Squishy: i feel like  he is interviewing me, to see if we should be friends
(1:31 PM)
ZayJROD: no he's not love
(1:32 PM)
Mr. Squishy: i am not saying he is, its just how i feel
(1:32 PM)
ZayJROD: what wud make u not feel like that?
(1:33 PM)
Mr. Squishy: i dont understand that question my love
(1:33 PM)
ZayJROD: what would make it so u don't feel like ur being grilled?
(1:35 PM)
Mr. Squishy: idk, to me it just doesnt seem natural that he would want to get to know me so badly
(1:35 PM)
ZayJROD: your my best friend *shrugs*
(1:38 PM)
Mr. Squishy: he seems to get pissed at me for accidentally referring to you as a girl, just like lindsay. it was an accident, im trying to get use to referring to you as a guy. but its like iv told BF, ive known you as a girl for such a long time. but i am trying zay, ive gotten better at it havint i?
(1:38 PM)
ZayJROD: yea u have
and just because they correct u doesn't mean they're pissed

(1:39 PM)
ZayJROD: just that they're correcting you
(1:40 PM)
Mr. Squishy: well it seems like everyone gets angry at me for doing that on accident. kinda like by correcting me they are giving me a death stare that means "dont you ever say that again"
(1:41 PM)
ZayJROD: well if u told me that the world was flat and i corrected you, wouldn't it be the same?
(1:46 PM)
Mr. Squishy: no because everyone already knows that, its not controversial. im trying, its just hard cuz ive known you as ayanna, a girl, for almost a year. and we have talked every single day in that year
(1:47 PM)
ZayJROD: i didn't say u can't make mistakes
(1:48 PM)
Mr. Squishy: it just seems like everyone yells at me for making this particular one
(1:48 PM)
ZayJROD: its just when ppl make mistakes, others correct them so they can work on not making the same mistakes
nobodys yelling. lol

(1:49 PM)
Mr. Squishy: you know what i mean tho
(1:52 PM)
ZayJROD: nobody's mad john. mistakes are part of living. but so is being corrected. its not a bad thing.
(1:53 PM)
Mr. Squishy: i guess im just being over sensitive....again
(1:54 PM)
ZayJROD: perhaps but maybe you will learn when it happens so u can catch urself and save ur feelings from being hurt unnecessarily
(1:55 PM)
Mr. Squishy: it just slips out is all. i use "her" once and im corrected right away
(1:55 PM)
ZayJROD: yea because otherwise there is no need to correct you silly
(1:57 PM)
Mr. Squishy: well i mean right after i type it and click "enter" i immediately notice it. it doesnt need to be pointed out since i already notice my mistake
(1:58 PM)
ZayJROD: well if u dont say so how will others know that you recognized it?
(1:59 PM)
Mr. Squishy: what am i to do then? retype the whole thing just so the word "her" will be changed to "him"?
(1:59 PM)
ZayJROD: no
(2:00 PM)
ZayJROD: you can just say oops or i meant him or *him
anything really

(2:01 PM)
Mr. Squishy: is it THAT big of a deal though? i mean everyone knows who im talking about. i realize you consider yourself a man and i have no intention of denying your wishes but its a mistake and thats it.
(2:02 PM)
ZayJROD: what if i referred to you as a she every so often
(2:02 PM)
Mr. Squishy: it wouldnt upset me or annoy me one bit. i would know that it was by accident. and i know that you love me
(2:03 PM)
Mr. Squishy: you could call me shitface
id still know that you didnt mean it

(2:03 PM)
ZayJROD: well thanks but it is a big deal to me
and i wouldn't call u that
even in jest

(2:05 PM)
Mr. Squishy: and since its a big deal to you im trying my absolute best to respect your wishes zay, i really am. i guess i just dont completely get it, ive been called names my entire life so ive come to learn that a name is a name and nothing more. it doesnt change who you are
(2:06 PM)
ZayJROD: im sorry you've been called names and i'm glad it doesn't bother you and i know your trying but just the same it does bother me. im not saying i dont expect this is hard for you but just try not to get so defensive when it happens because i dont think it will stop happening
(2:07 PM)
Mr. Squishy: itll stop happening, ill stop making this mistake. but i need you to be patient with me ok? im trying my best zay
(2:08 PM)
ZayJROD: well for the record im not the one who corrected u. lol
(2:09 PM)
Mr. Squishy: i know my love, i know. but i am trying my hardest. you believe me dont you? completely believe me?
(2:10 PM)
ZayJROD: i know
(2:10 PM)
ZayJROD: just because someone says what u said was wrong doesnt mean anyone denies that you are trying mr squishy
(2:11 PM)
Mr. Squishy: but you believe that im trying right?
(2:11 PM)
ZayJROD: yea

-------------------------------------Yesterday----------------------
(10:19 PM)Mr. Squishy:you seem busy, am i interupting something important?
(10:20 PM)ZayJROD:uh...no...
(10:20 PM)Mr. Squishy:those dots mean something else, may i ask what?
(10:21 PM)ZayJROD:im not busy
why does it seem that way
(10:23 PM)Mr. Squishy:those three dots (...) defenitely mean something, im thinking.....your not telling me something you feel you should?
(10:24 PM)ZayJROD:no
just wondering why you always think im busy
(10:27 PM)Mr. Squishy:you used to not take awhile to respond, you used to respond right away, almost instantly. just wondering why that is
(10:28 PM)ZayJROD:just tired i guess
(10:29 PM)Mr. Squishy:that can explain tonight but not the past few months. like since mid march
(10:30 PM)ZayJROD:*shrugs* im sry it bothers u
(10:30 PM)Mr. Squishy:it doesnt bother me, it just seems like you'd rather not talk with me
(10:31 PM)ZayJROD:well thats not true
(10:31 PM)Mr. Squishy:i didnt say it was.......its just the thought thats been going through my head
(10:32 PM)ZayJROD:ah i see
(10:33 PM)ZayJROD:well if it isn't a bother could u msg my phone?
(10:33 PM)Mr. Squishy:i suppose, i was just hoping you could explain to me how ive been different
(10:34 PM)ZayJROD:well if im not mistaken one of the meds u stoped taking was a mood stabilzer right?
(10:34 PM)Mr. Squishy:lamictrogene(lamictal) yes.
(10:35 PM)ZayJROD:well that's the main thing i've noticed has made a difference
(10:35 PM)ZayJROD:it seems like every small thing sways you to the extreme of that emotion
(10:35 PM)Mr. Squishy:really?
(10:35 PM)ZayJROD:yea
(10:36 PM)Mr. Squishy:like could i have an example?
(10:36 PM)ZayJROD:well for example the other day when BF corrected your pronoun use
we ended up talking about it for the next 45 minutes
(10:37 PM)ZayJROD:you felt as tho everyone was ganging up on you or yelling at you or believing that you weren't trying
it was a simple 4 word sentence that triggered it
(10:37 PM)Mr. Squishy:but everyone was ganging up on me about a simple word
(10:38 PM)ZayJROD:no everyone was not
i didn't say anything
(10:38 PM)ZayJROD:he had no emotion in the sentence only fact
(10:38 PM)Mr. Squishy:linds did, BF did
(10:38 PM)ZayJROD:BF didnt! that's the thing
ok linds i can see
but since when is 2 ppl everyone?
(10:39 PM)ZayJROD:all BF said was "he's not a her"
(10:39 PM)Mr. Squishy:and that is correcting me. it was an accident! no one gets that. they all think im doing it on purpose. even you admitted that you dont think im trying
(10:40 PM)ZayJROD:ok i can see we are going in circles. its just what i've noticed
(10:40 PM)ZayJROD:i g2g. if u still want to talk msg/text my phone
love u john

-----------------------------By text-----------------------

John: fine, bye
John: tell me: do i just run off on you when you want to talk about something?
Me: no. you dont. and i didn't JUST run off. before we started the conversation i told u i had to go and offered to keep talking via my phone
John: your acting as though my feelings arent valid tho. "we keep going in circles" how is that supposed to make me feel?
Me: i didn't say it wasn't valif. when i said we were going in circles i meant that we arent seeing each others point of view and id rather talk about something happy
John: but if we arent seeing each others view then we should keep talking about it until we see the others point of view, not just avoid it 4ever
Me: well we r both using the same points over and over
John: then we keep trying, no one said it will be easy. nothing worthwhile ever is my love.
Me: is it worthwhile tho?
John: to see the others point of view and resolve hurt feelings? yes, its very worthwhile
Me: why are your feelings hurt?
John: cuz everyone is ganging up on me for a simple word! they still know who im talking about dont they?
Me: ok well im sorry they're doing that to you. you dont deserve to feel ganged up on
John: i realize that referring 2 u as a man is important, honest i do. but its just a word uv attached meaning to. it duznt change how much i love u
Me: nobody was questioning ur love. just the word you used
John: but its just a word, do u c wat i mean? it only means something if u make it mean something. its no reason 4 every1 to gang up on me
Me: ok fine. im not as philisophical as u. im sorry. pronouns and ames mean alot to me. im sorry ur feelings are hurt because of it
John: im not trying to hurt ur feelings zay, im really not. but i am aren't i?
Me: it doesn't matter. i hate feelings. eventually they wont exist
John: so i did then......im really sorry zay, i didn't mean to. im really really truly sorry
Me: dont be. tbh i like when they hurt
John: zay please don't talk like that. i truly am sorry, i really am. i didn't mean to hurt your feelings, i just feel ganged up on
Me: you rly dont have to be sry, what can i say, im a masochist. im rly ok. im sry you felt ganged up on. but i don't think ppl will stop currecting u tbh
John: well im almost 2 the point of going off on them. im referring to u as "him" & "he" WAY more often. im getting better at it rite? honesty plz
Me: yea u r but going off won't help anything

(11:45 PM) Mr. Squishy: what are you worried about then?
(11:46 PM) ZayJROD: i don't release anger well
(11:47 PM) Mr. Squishy: its ok, you can let it out. if you do, then ill do something with you that you have always wanted me to
(11:48 PM) ZayJROD: no i rly dont want to. if i suppress it im safe. if i let it out, i may do something stupid
(11:49 PM) Mr. Squishy: *heavy, sad sigh* ok....im sorry
(11:49 PM) Mr. Squishy: could you answer something for me though?
(11:49 PM) ZayJROD: i guess
(11:50 PM) Mr. Squishy: you said, if you let it out we wont be friends anymore. does that mean you are in fact angry with me about something?
(11:51 PM) ZayJROD: what i mean is that i won't be around any longer for us to be friends
(11:51 PM) Mr. Squishy: so your not angry with me? even if the anger is deep deep down inside you?
(11:52 PM) ZayJROD: i dont want to think about it
(11:55 PM) Mr. Squishy: do you think ive gotten better at referring to you as you wish?
(11:55 PM) ZayJROD: can we not talk about that anymore?
(11:57 PM) Mr. Squishy: this is the last time ill ask, i promise. its just important to me that you believe and know im trying to respect your wishes
(11:58 PM) ZayJROD: yes
(11:58 PM) Mr. Squishy: thanks zay, it means a lot that you believe me
(12:00 AM) Mr. Squishy: do you really think im starting to over react with my emotions lately?
(12:01 AM) ZayJROD: yes
(12:02 AM) Mr. Squishy: hm....its certainly possible. i do swing from intense anger to crying hysterically often now....
(12:05 AM) Mr. Squishy: what do you think?
(12:05 AM) ZayJROD: i think u should take ur meds
(12:06 AM) Mr. Squishy: i keep forgetting though,im not doing it on purpose
(12:06 AM) ZayJROD: i know
(12:09 AM) Mr. Squishy: i think i should go
(12:09 AM) ZayJROD: why
(12:10 AM) Mr. Squishy: i feel awkward and you seem to be very....untalkative. at least to me anyways
(12:10 AM) ZayJROD: im not talking to BF
(12:11 AM) ZayJROD: im just tired
(12:18 AM) Mr. Squishy: zay?


Seriously. I'm so done with this issue, it's ridiculous. I can't even issue explanations, annecdotes, closing statements or questions, retorical or otherwise. I'm too aggravated.
