Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

I didn’t mean for this to sound as rude as it did. I meant to come off as confused, not confrontational. That’s my bad.

I have trouble conveying intent with the right words. Sometimes I go back and forth for way too long trying to figure out the right words. Sometimes I think I have it without needing to go over it again and again. But then people seem put off my by my words, and I realize I’ve failed again, and annoyed people. Which is the last thing that I want, but it’s still my fault alone for saying those words in the first place.

That's okay, no worries. For me the words "comfort [thing]" have a connotation, as well as a denotation, and the connotation is very much, "thing that soothes a child at an age when the child isn't capable of self-soothing on their own." Which makes sense because that is generally the context in which people use the term IRL. At least that's how people where I live usually use it.

I find the "Sir, that is my emotional-support character" meme way less annoying because the term "emotional-support [thing]" is not associated heavily with young children, and also it's tongue in cheek. It's relatable, but it's also deliberately underlining the awkwardly trivial nature of most innocuous coping mechanisms, despite how much they can sometimes mean to us.

Thank you for this response, I appreciate it!

When you put it that way, I do understand where you’re coming from. I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it makes total sense.
