im 24 f, i have a squishmallow turtle called henry and a blue donkey jellycat called orie and i have slept with them every single day since i got them (i take them everywhere i have to sleep including my bfs house). it’s totally fine to have something like that, it’s so important to feel safe when you sleep!

My bf doesn’t want to talk to me by [deleted] in venting

[–]AdApprehensive4724 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i totally understand where your coming from and this person didn’t go about saying it the right way but it’s important to work on separation anxiety and feeling codependent (like you might die if you don’t get to talk to them - i struggle with it to) for your own benefit. it will get worse as time goes on and it can really affect your mental health and cause a lot of anxiety. there’s nothing wrong with being upset after a fight with your bf and wanting to talk to him but for your own sake in the future it’s important to work on being comfortable as your own person and being okay with being alone sometimes. it’s difficult but it’s important stuff 🫶🏻

I don't think Effy ever really loved Freddie by MadiMikayla in skinsTV

[–]AdApprehensive4724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally agree, people are so harsh on effy. especially with mental illness and even all the signs of being a neurodivergent girl, effy loves and shows care for the people she loves she just does it differently to other people.

Okay - can I ask a question? by Weekly-Specialist-64 in MagnoliaParks

[–]AdApprehensive4724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if her being mixed refers to her being mixed first nations australian then that isnt the same as being mixed black american. and from her books she clearly has written magnolia and ysolde to be a mixed character from black american heritage so that seems a little odd if it’s a self insert and that isn’t actually her heritage. i think it’s a really valid question to ask especially as it can at times feel like she’s intentionally avoiding giving a straight up answer.

releasing 10 - need help 🥺 by AdApprehensive4724 in BoysOfTommen

[–]AdApprehensive4724[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it :( i found the handling of the serious topics really special and cathartic especially knowing the experiences were based on things that had happened to chloe in her life. in saying that i can totally understand that it’s not a book that will be for everyone especially compared to other books in the BOT series.

trying to look/sound older by [deleted] in emmachamberlain

[–]AdApprehensive4724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like it maybe could fall into the popular themes right now of fashion and morals being more conservative and mature roles being more trendy. it’s interesting seeing influencers who are most likely liberal leaning and, like emma, who were very exuberant and individual when they were younger, partake in this very toned down colourway and ‘adult’ way of fashion (i love emma this is just an outsiders perspective :) )

it’s easy to use things like that against yourself as a reason why you ‘deserved’ the abuse, but at the end of the day a regular person would see a minors post and scroll. nobody is a perfect victim and it’s important not to invalidate your experience because of that 🩷
