Your True Emotion Mirror may say the most insulting things while meaning them to express love.
When someone loves everything about you, they may not realize that… You don’t love everything about yourself. They don’t realize that to yourself, you are the most mundane and also the most frustrating person in the world. They may not realize that you don’t wake up every morning thinking, “Oh my god, I am a god/goddess; I can’t wait for another day to be me!” They may authentically think you are absolute perfection and never think twice you don’t necessarily see yourself in that way – and very likely you don’t.
For a True Emotion Mirror, you seem perfect. Everything about you excites them. Because they initially think you must be perfect in everybody’s eyes, to them, your flaws are the most exciting thing to discover! Everything relating to you, to them, is exciting, but it takes a true admirer to find and see flaws! Therefore, when they find a new thing about you, it doesn’t matter to them that it’s technically embarrassing or a bit ridiculous, or an unbecoming character trait or something you’d want to keep a secret – they simply think it’s a new thing they found out about you and OMG it’s cute or exciting or sexy as hell, or something. To them, NOTHING could make you anything but more perfect still.
Why would they blurt out the most embarrassing thing about you?
And then they blurt it out or tell you straight this is what they’ve noticed about you, and you’re MORTIFIED. You may FEEL humiliated. To you, what they’ve discovered may mean they’ve just dumped you, brutally, and maybe in public right in front of everybody. You may think they’re the meanest, cruellest person to the point that out about you, when the only thing they thought was “OMG this is the CUUUUTEST/SEXIEST THING I found out!!” or “OMG he/she’s just like me in that, and because they’re hot as hell, it’s sooo coool they have this same thing going as I feel less of a freak…”
True Emotion Mirrors are often RELIEVED to find flaws in their counterpart because they may feel threatened and completely out of their league with them. They may even feel joyous to find that you aren’t perfect because that makes you a little more approachable to them.
What a True Emotion Mirror says about or to the other can stay with a person forever.
Still, this joyous discovery of your True Emotion Mirrors’ mind and the verbal expression of it can make your TrEmoR feel… *shot* What you said in a cheerful tone out of love may stick with your TrEmoR as a huge insult, and then, a few days or weeks later you wonder “what changed?” You cannot remember you fighting or anything, suddenly, they just… Vanished.
It can be enormously difficult to explain to a True Emotion Mirror that you didn’t mean what you said in how they took it. It can stay with them forever, and because they love you the same way as you love them as their True Emotion Mirror, the words can HURT coming from someone they feel is just as perfect as they see the other to be. Imagine someone who you think is perfect makes fun of you without even feeling apologetic. Even if they don’t mean it, it doesn’t mean you know they’re trying to tell everybody you’re the cutest most perfectest thing ever in the world and they want everybody to know they know you so deeply and perfectly that they’ve noticed even the most carefully hidden flaws about you….
But you can imagine how that would stick with a person who doesn’t immediately get an explanation as to what those words meant, really.
When someone loves everything about a person who doesn’t share the feelings.
In addition, a similar thing can happen between people who are not each other’s True Emotion Mirror.
Then, when someone loves everything about you, but you don’t even… Like that person, something similar can still happen. An admirer, even a one-sided one, can think their idol is bullet proof.
When one of you is jubilantly in love with the other, and the other feels there’s nothing going on between you two, but one acts like a bully not realizing they’re such, and the other just takes low blows after low blows… But as the “bully” doesn’t realize the perfect person in their eyes is not having fun at all, they’re “pretending” to be insulted because it’s funny, you know?
I can imagine a similar situation between celebrities and fans, who take potshots at the celebrity, thinking they’re basically best buds, when the celebrity has no idea who that person is or whether they’re a friend or a foe – a similar thing. The celebrity feels attacked and insulted, but the fan is having the time of their lives “roasting” their idol. You know? Now, apply this situation to your True Emotion Mirror or crush – did you do something like that, too?
