Woke up this morning to a message saying "hope your week is going ok. sorry I'm too busy to meet with you today, next week"
I get far too many messages like this from him
I finally called him out
"Your message comes across as cold and impersonal which has a detrimental effect on my mental health. It makes me feel like an inconvenience, that I'm just a tick box on your weekly to-do list. It promotes feelings of worthlessness and unimportance.
I understand your commitments but a feeling of compassion would be beneficial.
Rather than assuming or hoping my week is going ok, ask me if it is.
Sentences like you know this will be disheartening, but you need to postpone today.
Acknowledge the impact it has on me, it'll actually make a difference rather than being thrown into the very familiar darkness of childhood beliefs."
Did I overreact? I feel like he had this coming

Hi @avant-garde sorry, I'm not up on who 'he' is .. I scanned something in another thread the other day, but not sure. if its a relationship , sounds close to terminal (to me)
if its professional take it a with pinch of salt maybe . At least they know how you feel now. I guess the test is the 'next time' why do they cancel all the time ? not good on a personal or professional level. maybe get rid of them

He's a friend from church who has been asked to keep tabs on me and my mental health and how I'm going with the church side of my trauma and relationship difficulties...
