How would you react if your partner told you 'your feelings are wrong'?

[Still-alive]

You expressed your feelings about something and your partner says that to you. your reaction?

I have had someone tell me this before. :o

[VIVANT]

Feelings can not be right or wrong tyst are just a part of us. What we do and how we think about our situation may alter our feelings but our feelings are just as they are whatever they are. It’s like saying that pin prick didn’t hurt. If it hurt it hurt. Maybe someone wise has a different sensation, that is theirs not yours.

I find it incredibly immature and ironically arrogant. It’s often immature people who think they are the wisest.

[VIVANT]

they just are *

someone else*

(Typos)

Also I’m very wary of people who feel the need to micromanage others feelings. This is never good and can be indicative of dark issues.

[Still-alive]

Indeed i find it a bit gaslighty even

[VIVANT]

Oh 💯 which is also a very bad sign. A whole movie based on the daggers if such a personality 😂

[VIVANT]

OF* 🙄

I was in a relationship with a guy who'd always invalidate my feelings like that. He had covert narcissitic tendencies.

Invaidating someone's feelings is a form of gaslighting. A manipulation tactic that mostly abusers or narcissists use. No one can tell you how you should or shouldn't feel in any given situation. If they do, I'd question their motive.

I’d be quite saddened if this event were to occur, probably would break my heart to be honest. It’s such a harsh thing to say to someone.

[Still-alive]

Yeah a bit gaslighty in my opinion too

[petitedollbabee]

I’d take what he says as the truth, since he’s kind and he’s honest, but I would say “even if my feelings are wrong, I need support!”.

[VIVANT]

Feelings aren’t wrong, they just are. What we do about them is a completely different matter.

[HitsyHonesty]

BET ON IT! Now when they say something and I suggest placing a bet, they decline. I have won too many times.

[thegreenyogi]

I'd find it a bit patronising. One thing is to say you simply disagree and another is to make out you have a wrong perception of your own emotions.

[Sour-rose]

"N*gga, who made you God and can see what I feel is wrong? Dumbass mother fff... my feelings wrong, your ways of how to make scrambled eggs and having cereal is wrong!"

[sheikalana]

We don't have to agree or have the same opinions about everything.

[LazerBean]

He's not unkind and usually right.
