I intentionally ignore hints from people nowadays. I have officially given up from reading between the lines. If you want to say something, just say it directly and confidently like an adult with working vocal cords. It may look arrogant, but I'm done decoding emotional Morse code. I have read people's minds before, helped them, encouraged them, supported them without them even saying a word. And all that got me was disrespect, casual criticism, and blame for things I didn't even do. They took me for granted, expected me to show up no questions asked, and conveniently absorb the consequences of their own mess. So yes, if they couldn't do adulthood properly, I am here to gently but firmly remind them that growing up requires accountability. I am no longer your emotional translator, I am the billing department for your own actions.
