This may be a source of unrealistic optimism when it comes to having better control over my own mental health symptoms but I’ll take it.

I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t witnessed her do it yesterday and felt her body temperature change. I didn’t know people were capable of that.

Maybe a negativity schema from a parent who was very tightly wound and anxious. Kids learn this stuff before the age of five. I know that if I have ten positive interactions and one negative then the negative one is going to dictate the narrative I tell myself about the world. If you know what to look for it makes it possible to catch yourself falling into patterns of thought, identify why and learn to see things a bit differently. It doesn’t invalidate anything you’ve been through.

Someone who’s hyper independent would prefer solitude and would likely have problems with relationships for a number of reasons including being really out of practice. And not having any reference point for understanding what a secure attachment looks and feels like.

You can have a significant preference for being alone, require a great deal of quiet time and still suffer from social isolation.

It’s all interconnected, we’re not designed to live a life alone.

Having said that I still wish people would stop approaching me when I leave the house :/

Pointing out to who? For what purpose? Why do they unanimously prefer the picture on the left to begin with? Do you think the person on the right needs to be told they’re sexually desirable? Where do you think this picture came from originally? Can we talk about the larger themes without talking about personal preferences? Because they’re telling on themselves and it’s going over your head.

That isn’t male sexuality, it’s a telling lack of critical thinking skills that’s disappointing to see on Lemmy.

It certainly is when the discussion should be about the fucking pedos leading these shit stains. Context m8.

They like little innocent malleable girls, so when you see the juxtaposition and decide to offer your dicks 2 cents, yeah it’s a gross red flag that no one needs to hear. Don’t understand why you’d feel the need to mention it in the first place? If you work it out let me know.

Women or any other person. I don’t need to hear that you think she’s gorgeous, it’s missing all of the point.

Normalise not talking about women in terms of “your taste”.

It’s super off-putting

They clarified that the cleric is non binary too. What an amazing labour of love.

They gave you disability support for adhd alone?

That makes sense and is pragmatic, it’s just been hard to compartmentalize lately. The psychiatric system can often work to further marginalise and straight up hurt people with severe disorders, disorders that likely wouldn’t exist, at least to the same severity without capitalism and everything that comes with it. I’ve been so sensitive to it lately, hence mention of justice sensitivity but the fact that we have a box for people who see bad shit and say “hey that’s fucked something needs to be done about that”, it honestly makes my skin crawl for lack of a better phrase.

He had that conversation with Riker after Q gave him Q powers and it kind of got to his head
