"You Need To Be More Careful"

Tweet

It is no surprise to anyone that I am very clumsy. I have had my share of bumps, bruises, scrapes, sprains, and yet I have never broken a bone. So, last week I hurt my ribs because my AC unit was falling out of the window. This week I smashed my pinky finger into the washing machine. I posted about this on Facebook because the world needs to know about my pain. My friend comes along like two days later about the washing machine post saying "You seem to be accident prone." Yeah... Yeah I am. And he continues with, "You need to be more careful." which would be a meaningful sentence from some people, but from him it is very condescending because he follows it up with, "Or else you are going to end up in the hospital." I mean, yeah, I am clusmy. I have been to urgent cares because of my problems, but bumps and bruises happen. I don't to be told to be more careful when most of the problems that happen were accidents. When my AC unit was falling, the desk wasn't in my sight, so of course I slammed my ribs into it to save a very expensive item. An accident. Yeah, maybe I should have been more careful closing the washing machine lip, bu the lid slipped out of my hand, it was an accidne.t It isn't like I broke my finger. It is just bruised. I don't know, that statement just kind of irritated me. Like...I'm clusmy, I do try to be careful, most of the stuff that happens to me, it is all just based on a situation that was probably hard to prevent injury. You are talking to the girl who tore a ligament in her leg and I was just jumping, and proceeded to dislocate my knee for 7 years and most of that was just from average walking. Nothing could prevent that. I appreciate the concern, but also just don't....I'm clumsy, I got it from my mamma.
