Ahaha, well... I think it's more like I'm getting in my own head about it? I don't know.

[tilting her head]

How so?

[dms]

Because... I was saying what I believed at the time, but a lot of it was things that I'd never dream of saying.
[ he chews on his lip for a moment. ]

I... I'm so used to saying what people want to hear, just so I won't upset anyone, and sometimes I deliberately said what would upset someone the most. So it just really freaks me out, I guess.

[allomantic]

[...]

You shouldn't do that normally.

[dms]

[ ..........he looks away. ]

Yeah, maybe not.

[allomantic]

I think you would probably be happier if you said the things you wanted to. I have trouble imagining they would be cruel.

[dms]

...Someone's told me something like that before, but... I don't know. I don't like making people upset for any reason, and I don't want anyone to hate me, either.

[allomantic]

What kinds of things do you normally think that would make someone hate you if you were to say them?

[dms]

Ahhhh, I don't know! That's why I said I was just getting in my own head!

[allomantic]

Are you saying that because it's actually true...

[dms]

[ drops his head into his hands. ]

I know what I just said gave you every reason to doubt me, but yes, it's the truth.

[allomantic]

Alright...

[she sounds like she believes him, at least.]

I would prefer to hear the truth from you moving forward, too.

[dms]

[ he's quiet for a long moment, and then he nods slowly. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I'll try.

[allomantic]

It is appreciated.
