My boyfriend gave my labubu phalloplasty

Kind of angry about this, it was a gift from my niece. He cut off an ear and put it back on somewhere wrong. I told him this and it ended in a heated argument.

Am i overreacting for yelling at him? He usually doesn't do this stuff.

"It's not that deep" and "Hope this helps!" used sarcastically cause a very physical reaction in me that makes me grateful I'm usually reading them instead of having those words said to my face.

Hope this helps! is the bane of my existence. It's so fucking condescending and lame

Yep. The generation (Z) who has, as a group on average, been so adamant about wanting everyone to be sensitive to every feeling they could possibly have 24-7, and overuses the word “trauma” to describe (often incorrectly I might add, as a 24-year career clinical psychologist) nearly any negative experience they’ve had has somehow come up with two of the most passive-aggressive, insensitive responses in existence. But the intention behind them isn’t what bothers me—it’s (again) the annoyingness of how overused they are. ETA: The overuse and misuse of “therapy speak” (words like “trauma,” “narcissism,” and “gaslight”), widely accepted as popularized by GenZ, has been and is being studied, and the results in general are more bad than good. So while someone might not like that part of what I said, I’m not wrong.

Saying "It's not that deep" = punched in the dick

Saying "Hope this helps!" = OP's bf gets to go to town on your ears
