You read too much into everything
Why can’t you laugh it off
Don’t take it the wrong way
Don’t be so literal
You’re too sensitive
Don’t get emotional
You’ve got too wild an imagination
You don’t know enough about it
You’re not capable of understanding
You don’t listen right
Is there something wrong with your ears?
Learn to take a joke
Learn to toughen up
Learn to let it slide off you
You need to swallow it down,
keep it in,
forget it,
then move on
Don’t be ridiculous, don’t think that
Don’t feel that way
Don’t overreact
Hey, princess and the pea
You’re too timid
Too picky, too prickly
You need to just deal with it
Don’t make mountains of molehills
You need to try harder
You’re trying too hard
Open your mouth and talk already
Look me in the eye
You’ll never get anywhere at this rate
You’re too quick, you’re too slow,
You’re too old for this behavior
You’re too young for this behavior
No one asked you
What you think doesn’t matter
Your voice doesn’t count
