  • To be quite honest, the other interaction were kinda… oof, but this one in particular was done pretty healthily. It’s very easy to seem like a jerk when one cares about something deeply and it gets violated. But still, more the reason to encourage healthy communication and openness and understanding even while angry without compromising on the care <3


  • Tbf, we don’t know when the NFT was bought. I firmly believe that people have the right to be dumb, especially as kids. His dad making fun of the NFT, depending on when it was, is also a show of “you were dumb as shit”, a sentence which emphassises “were” - which is past tense. “Comparatively to your present self, you were dumb” which ‘inverted’ is also “Comparatively to your past self, you are smart(er)” and they should be proud of themselves for their personal development and growth.

    For clarity, no matter when one buys an NFT, it’s just a dumb thing to do, not saying otherwise; I’m approaching this exclusively from an emotional standpoint to ‘when’ someone does something stupid and ‘whether’ they ‘grew out of it’.




  • I thank you both for making an example of healthy communication while being upset. I come from a household where the way “adults” were communicating anger thought me nothing but “anger = bad” and really struggled to see otherwise. While I have defeated that mind bug of mine, I still do highly appreciate examples that would’ve helped me in the past in understanding that there might be someone reading your exchange from the spot I was in. <3
