I hit him up like "hey, I'm having some issues, can you give me some advice?" He was busy... sure.
A few hours later he comes back like "what is it? i'm curious" but by then I've already come to terms with the situation and the first desperate impulse to ask for help has passed so I'm like "nothing, just going through some family troubles, but it can't be helped only protracted"
Him: what does that mean
Me: delayed
Him: yeah i guessed it by the context *goes into a rant about vocabulary*
Me: ok *conversation dies*
Him: hey can you recommend me some cool music?
I'm NOT gonna make him a playlist right now
What, do I have to be bawling my eyes out and visibly breaking down for him to understand I'm having a hard time? I might not have made a big deal of it but still...
All I expected was some sensitivity
