Sometimes the loudest part of an argument isn’t the shouting… it’s the one sentence that stays in your head long after everything is “normal” again. You’re not overreacting for being affected by words that changed how you see yourself.
That’s exactly what hurts the most honestly… the argument ends, but your brain keeps replaying the words over and over again like they changed something permanently inside you.
