saffronhareOkay.
...(deep breath)...you know how, every once in a while, there will be an LJ post from somebody feeling fragile? Asking for the people who care to please handle them with kid gloves and sensitivity?
I need for you all to please listen to this request with the same loving-kindness. Because the need is real, though it isn't often expressed.
Recently, the drain on my energy (primarily during the work day) has outstripped the energy I put into the filters that enable me to function as a relatively decent human being. I am not naturally nice, and I cannot manage to recalibrate myself to accommodate fragility right now. I'll need you to either be able to play rough in my world or simply back away for a bit.
Whether you understand it or not, I still think this is within the range of okay, though I'm well aware that this kind of behavior isn't acceptable in most circles. I am not sad or particularly angry. I simply need some space in which I don't have to devote all that extra energy to being kind beyond what's necessary not to make my children or husband cry.
I do not own kid gloves. Thanks, guys.
