friendly reminder that it’s no one’s responsibility to ~guess~ your feelings

can be emotionally laborious but it is almost always worth it imo. telling someone how they made you feel is an act of kindness both to yourself and to the person who made you feel shitty. people will often surprise you with their responses

A) I’m sorry that happened, that’s an insensitive thing to joke about and it reflects poorly on their character, I’m sure it sucked to hear. I know that having peace/civility with roommates is important, and that it can feel crappy to be the one that voices discomfort when everyone else seems okay with it.
B) You don’t have to go out of your way to address it, but if it comes up again, you can always say “I’m not comfortable talking about a classmate this way” — that isn’t a judgement about them, it’s just you announcing a personal choice. The lever of social shame should remind them that if you’re uncomfortable with it, maybe they should be as well. But also, it’s okay if you’re not comfortable saying that— you aren’t responsible for reminding other people to be kind, and it’s okay to choose your battles in a shared living space.

I don’t know why so many people feel the pathological urge to point the blame at literally anyone other than themselves. Admitting fault is a strength, not a weakness. If you tell me you fucked something up I’ll respect you so much more than if you deflect and try to point blame.

As an Only child that’s struggled with social anxiety since forever, i have always enjoyed going to shows & functions & restaurants & doing whatever by myself. Im used to it & it’s natural & comfortable. I’m consistently reminded how ironically this behavior has both filled my life with such amazing people & has helped practice how I show up in social settings & lessen anxiety. feeling grateful this sunday

honestly recommend so hard. at least for women, I know a lot of clothes I buy are almost just right. something small is off, something doesn’t fit right in 1 area of my pants or shirt
in the chicago neighborhoods ive lived & visited there’s often a local tailor & it’s not expensive and makes such a huge difference!

Jesus fuck. growing up a neurodivergent kid w wavering mental health, a wavering home life, in and out of therapy, etc, you always hear “have you tried meditating”
No Susan I never fucking thought of that thank you for the recommendation
Well finally at my big age, I took the leap to start practicing and Jesus fuck. Why was I avoiding this my whole life. I have been so resistant to it because it’s intimidating, it’s not instant gratification every time, and it’s … well scary! What if I mess up. What you mean sitting still for ten or so mins and not thinking.
I have always been big into dreams. I’ve wrote down my dreams for as long as I can remember, have books upon books filled, and practice lucid dreaming. It’s kind of like that but without being asleep and without any anxiety inducing scenarios
It’s improved a lot of areas in my life in the two short months I have been practicing
I’m having fun
