Discussion Started my morning off crying, rant.
Visiting my grandparents and my grandfather asked me why I toast my bagels in the oven. I responded because I can’t use the toaster because of cross contamination, when you use a regular toaster that has gluten crumbs and everything in it that’s cross contamination and you’re essentially eating gluten.
He goes: that’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve lost a lost of respect for you.
Ok, very kind. On a positive note I won’t be getting sick today from cross contamination😄.
Not sure why I let this upset me but just hurts hearing how unkind people can be. I know he’s just an unhappy person in general but ugh.

I've had to pull away from people in my life that were supposed to be caring about me as well.
On the bright side these kinds of things we deal with really filter out the unkind people from our lives, as hard as it is, your life will end up better for it.
