mh, minor -, maybe a subtoot of something that happened off fedi 

We want to be called out when we do something wrong.
But I wish people would be more gentle when we do something without realizing it.
It hurts to have someone imply that I did something wrong on purpose, when it was our usual difficulty with reading social situations, not an intentional attempt to derail a conversation.

I think it would be much better if someone were to word it more gently, as "you've derailed the conversation; can we get back to X topic" but instead we got something along the lines of "you weren't involved in this conversation, please don't jump in just to derail it", and I'm not sure how to even respond to that.

And we're not really upset at the person who did this either, we just.. don't know how to bring it up to them. We should, but we don't know how, and are scared of being attacked for bringing it up even though I don't think that would happen?

apparently, while Rosemary switches in to help me deal with stress, I also switch in to be stressed when something happens like that >.<

we're also really stressed right now because of an interview tomorrow morning and because of really wanting orange juice but not having any, which is a really trivial problem but when you get stressed every problem gets amplified

re: mh, - 

well, we took care of that last problem at least. Got some orange juice.

we were at the store earlier and didn't get any because they were out of the pineapple-orange that we like

but then we really wanted it so we went and got orange juice *and* pineapple juice so we can mix them
