That's certainly not healthy. For either of you.
Have you tried saying that? As in, "Dirk, you trying to take yourself apart to earn my good will is not something that I want from you. I'd rather you just be you, but not an asshole." ?
Though perhaps that would be too on the nose for either of you.
I suppose offering a group therapy session would be a no go?

Hm. It pains me to say this since I still think what you did was stupid and reckless, but taking yourself away from the confrontation when you knew you weren't handling it, so that you could later come to that conclusion is actually a good thing. Continuing the rather pointless, harmful argument would have done neither of you much good, nor your relationship. Taking yourself out of the situation temporarily isn't the worst thing you could have done.

Of course, that would be the only appropriate reaction. I'll be certain it meets your high standards and expectations.

no because i cant figure out how to say it
ill try saying it again later
now
whichever
also no i dont want a group therapy session rose

oh my god are you sick
did you just say that i actually did a good thing
re dealing with a thing
even if you think it was dumb

[grimdeity]

Dave, you could literally copy and paste those exact words.
Or I could help you write a more Dave Strideresque draft?
I thought not. Maybe one of these days you will relent, and we will all have a lovely and painful time.

I know, I can hardly believe it either. Perhaps I should have my temperature checked? I should go lie down. Bring me a bowl of soup, if you would.
Yes, it was still dumb, though. But removing your negative self from the declining situation until you could return with a positive resolution is actually a passable coping mechanism.
Still, it'd be better to find a way to handle yourself without upsetting all of your loved ones in one fell swoop.

i probably wont have to do it again
i can take it now so its okay

anyway
whats up

[grimdeity]

Right.
Well, let me know if you change your mind.

[ or if striders stride themselves into stupid again, because it will clearly happen again. ]

Well, I didn't fight with my father-brother about a puppet. I did place a wager with Karkat regarding your stupidity and penciled you in for group therapy before the next three universes we inhabit decay from entropy, optimistically.
I do still need a gift for mom, however. I keep beginning such endeavors then undoing them, as they fail to rival Zelda. Do you have any suggestions?

[parodeity]

uh
id suggest cloning a real cat but neither of us sciences well enough for that
maybe we can find her a real cat?
