AITA for refusing to help roommate's girlfriend feel less triggered over my diet
In a quiet apartment, a young woman battles her own health challenges with resilience and care, relying on doctors and a careful diet to maintain her well-being.
Yet, her simple act of making a smoothie becomes a flashpoint for misunderstood emotions and silent judgments, exposing the fragile boundaries between personal struggles and the pain they can unintentionally ignite in others.
Caught in a web of empathy turned accusation, she faces the weight of another's pain projected onto her, a painful reminder of how deeply intertwined our battles can be.
Amid tears and tension, the line between compassion and blame blurs, forcing a confrontation not just with each other, but with the unspoken fears and insecurities that haunt them both.

Internet Users Didn’t Hold Back:
When users weighed in, they held nothing back. It’s a raw, honest look at what people really think.
The original poster (OP) is facing a conflict where their established, medically supervised dietary choices are being challenged by their roommate's partner, who claims the OP's eating habits trigger her own emotional eating issues.
The central conflict is the OP's insistence on maintaining their health regimen against the partner's demand that the OP modify their behavior to accommodate the partner's feelings and eating habits.
Is the OP justified in prioritizing their documented health needs and refusing to alter their diet based on the emotional reactions of a non-resident guest, or does the social responsibility in a shared living situation require the OP to moderate their visibility to avoid causing significant distress to others?
