The Cognitive Dissonance of Parenting

I felt so embarrassed and bad but the same time I feel like she was so flustered and overwhelmed But I know that moment left a mark because I remember as a kid Yeah, I had a really hard time with the cognitive dissonance of people going like I'm fine, right? No, I'm fine So what happened so then I was like I'm so sorry that was none of my business and it just was like awkward It was just like you didn't even think about it was just like a natural reaction I just felt protective. The way that I feel with animals because animals are voiceless They can't send emails I just insert myself because it can't stand up for itself
