Today I discovered this writer’s tactic to face her fear of rejection and failure, and it’s honestly very inspiring?! This kinda rewired my brain and I feel everyone should read and think about it.
To be honest.. if more children were shown from birth that they are loved, cared for, and listened no matter their gender we might not have some of the problems we have now.
After “Goofy is an apex predator” caught on I wondered how Goofy would look with accurate dog teeth and was surprised I couldn’t already find a demonstration so I guess I have to do it myself
I’m at the point in my life where I need you to be straight up honest and back up every word you say with actions. If you miss me, tell me. If you wanna see me, show up or ask me to come over. If you’re upset with me or something in general, tell me. I’ve done the whole playing games, chasing hearts around that never belonged to me. I’m done doing it. If you want me, I’m here, where I’ve been. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
gaslighting does not always involve them calling you “crazy”
sometimes gaslighting is you protesting over and over, and them saying “you don’t have to make such a big deal out of it”
sometimes it’s “i really tried my best with you, but clearly i couldn’t do it”
sometimes it’s “i would never do that to you”, “if you really asked me to stop, wouldn’t i have stopped?”,
“i don’t know what i’d do if i ever hurt you”
“denying and rewriting your reality” is not a one-time conversation, either. it is a sneak attack, flying under the radar and taking you out, one communication at a time, never drawing all the attention at once.
it is not your fault that you never saw it coming.
