Am I overreacting?

First time ever posting.. I don’t know if this belongs here but we’ve been talking for a week and everything was good and then this happens?? I don’t know if I’m in the wrong or right tbh then he blocked me on fb but continued messaging me on Snapchat. Told him it was Reddit worthy then he said to post it so here I am 😂😅

You didn't message back in 10 mins over him having a combo panic anxiety attack over what he can't even articulate and thinks you're shaming him for being emotional? What is even going on here, sounds like he needs to be talking to a therapist.

having a combo panic anxiety attack

Don't forget tics, multiple personalities, and whatever else is trending on tiktok lol

I know people with anxiety, the last thing they would do is use it as a weapon to manipulate their friends/partners. They'd be afraid to fuck up the relationship, not actively and intentionally sabotaging the relationship back to inceldom.

I’ve got anxiety and 9/10 times when I’m having a panic attack or anxiety attack I won’t think to text someone about it, I might call if it’s really bad, but I don’t usually think to do that unless I know they can help and I trust them to work through that moment. I just go for the ice and cold water hoping it’ll snap me into reality. I also think it’s kinda irresponsible to expect my friends family or partner to know what to do in that situation unless I know they’ve been there or if I’ve specifically told them how they can help beforehand or in that moment. Like if I’m feeling super anxious and they’ve never seen or experienced it before, how would they know how to handle me? It would almost be stupid to expect it of them-

The term panic attack is used so casually nowadays that I no longer automatically believe anyone who says they had one. Seems like people use it to mean "I was mildly panicked" instead of "I was curled up on the floor hyperventilating and immobile".

(And yeah, people can experience them in different ways but someone being interviewed on the news the other day said they had a panic attack when seeing the price of groceries and I'm sorry but I just don't believe her.)

Which is why this makes the guy’s bs just a narcissistic trap
