I have a girlfriend. She’s sweet, but she ALWAYS talks over me when i’m upset to change the subject or to tell me to look at a cat video or Bluey or Hazbin Hotel funny clips.
i feel so bad for saying this, but when i tried to tell her i was struggling with depression, it took like 3 tries to get her to listen, and all she said was to just be happy and smile.
today, i tried to tell her one of my grandpas died recently and she just talked over me about funny videos and tiktok. even if i tell her to listen, she does‘t or starts getting sad, so even when she says i can tell her anything, i don’t often. Am i in the wrong for that?
Also, she sends laughing emojis when I tell her something like “I have a PTSD diagnosis” on the topic of mental health, and she constantly puts herself down and asks me to give her reasons why she’s a good girlfriend and not “stupid and ugly”.


Is this your ex from two months ago https://lemmy.world/post/51270212 and are you still questioning your sightness?
I see you struggling a lot from your posts but I’m not sure anyone here can give you the indepth professional help you might need. We’re just strangers on the internet. It’s easier to ask than a bunch of strangers at the shop, but not much better the offering advice.
Also given asking about if your 14yr old sisters friend is the arsehole puts you around tha age, for multiple reasons. Things will get better as you become an adult, but you do need to seek better trained support.
Thanks. Different partner, my current gf is recent, and I’m 16 but yeah.
