You trusted someone with your money or your heart or both, and then that person surprises you by fucking you over. fuck!
This sucks a lot and might mess you up pretty bad and make you lose faith in people, but on the other side there is the potential for new found strength as you now have *experience*.
Trusting people is such an essential thing, so after getting scammed when you eventually find ways to trust people again, you’ll do it with a better sense of who to give it to and how much to give and when. That’s a powerful thing, and not easy to understand until you’ve been burned.
Keep trusting, keep getting burned, but hopefully a little less so each time.

🩻I think it depends on the rejection. There are levels depending on the situation and relationship. What I keep in mind tho is that unless the person is specially bringing up something I’ve done, it’s not necessarily personal. By that I mean, I don’t assume it’s because I’m wrong or bad. If it’s a job, maybe it’s not a good fit. If it’s romantic, maybe we’re not a good match or they have stuff going on in their life.
I choose to believe that everything is leading me to the life I’m meant to have. So when a rejection happens, it still can hurt, but I always come back to that it’s keeping me open to what’s meant for me. Life rewards you when you open yourself up and are courageous. Go for it, feel your feelings if there is a rejection, reflect if you need to adjust, and then try again!

💔i truly believe that relational trauma is best healed through engaging with safe people again... it can be hard to build up that muscle again when your whole body is screaming to protect itself. but maybe baby steps? try trusting a little at a time and letting ppl earn your trust. you can also practice this in safe settings such as individual or group therapy. those are more protected/guardrailed ways of healing relational wounds.

⭐Trusting people is in, asking for help is in, I refuse to take too much responsibility, because I can't trust others to do some stuff for me anymore. Trust is literally the opposite of anxiety. I love trusting people, and not being angry when they fuck up. Trust is awesome.

Thanks y’all for the fire tips - I had a blast. Just put everyone’s rec’s into a google maps collection so you can find them at the link📍
My addition is the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown. Built into an old vaudeville theater, the food is solid but the atmosphere is absurd and a must see.

🗽🏠 decent living situation — awful roommates, deadbeat landlords, or psycho neighbors will make you super miserable so try to get this one locked down!
🫂 homies — making new friends can take a long time, but if you commit to putting yourself out there over and over you’ll connect with some truly inspiring and amazing people 🤑 income (even a little) — yes you can get by on dumplings, no Ubers, no bars, etc. but being broke here feels particularly like a prison because most things are stupid expensive. Be on your grind and then blissfully spend it all away
If you end up getting all 3 of these you’re probably gonna be hopelessly addicted to being here just like me. Welcome to NYC :)

One night back in the 80s Orlando Florida a guy and his friends brought their VHS camera to a 7-11 and talked to whoever was there. Vibes are pure.
