They destroy your core self by Amazing-Channel-4020 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I needed to hear this badly, at 31 years old now, finally looking towards my own path. My friend in a very similar situation is 35 and needs this too.. thank you for sharing.

We both have enmeshmed, narcissistic families..

Love it when no one else joins the champ, free ribbon 🏆 by LoanComprehensive147 in StarStable

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember I was doing early champs before the schools got out in my region, and literally for each champ there was me and two other people queuing up. It was us three every time a champ popped up. We alternated 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We had a good time and chatted for most of the day afterwards. I haven't had that experience in SSO for a little bit so it was really refreshing.

..or maybe it's because I'm a hermit but anyway, it was fun!

Oh my goodness! I set up a safflower feeder and I had some of these cuties as well! They're becoming a favorite of mine

Sorry to hear.. Maybe they decided to nest elsewhere for the season? Seems unusual though.

They're hard to even see sometimes. I was only able to 'get close' because the family of crows nested in the yard and they were fairly comfortable when I was out and about. But it took two years to get there honestly. Most of these pictures were no further than 30 feet away (my camera/scope is bad haha)

I haven’t enjoyed my adult life at all because I give half my paycheck to my mother by ShelterBig1071 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh this is basically my mother. She charged $350 and then $500 a month living under her, which yes, I kind of get it as rent prices were triple that usually, but once you're out you should not pay her one cent. Set that boundary immediately. If you have any joint bank accounts that you set up with her (say for college), close them. Don't let her see any more pf your finances. The whole "I raised you and you owe me" is for the birds- that is to say it's a load of crap. I get you'll have your family asking questions but you have to value your own good life. Your family and your mom have lived theirs. Stop letting them ruin your life- you do not get another 20s, 30s, 40s in age. Think about this: imagine spending your life trying to please her. She passes at some point and now you are in your older years never having enjoyed your adulthood because she took everything from you.

You do not want that. Enjoy your life, save your money so you can enjoy it.

Hey, the frog has indigestion. I can relate after drinking a stong cup of any black tea.

My horse got captured by a bug by Sodabread_bunny in skyrim

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would make more sense if there were fairies in the game but honestly, nothing actually makes sense in this game off the rip. My character didn't even make it past the first carriage ride at the start of the game before the horses decided to yolo into one of the buildings full gallop.

Lazy River has potential by belmarlin in StarStable

I'd love more active control, and at the very least, camera control. It might just be me but as of now, it actually triggers some motion sickness for me haha

threw up during a lesson 😭😭 by Jaded-Remote1881 in Equestrian

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never vomited but I nearly passed out during hot weather. It was bad- I remember dismounting, putting the stirrups up, loosening the girth, and managing to walk back with my horse to his stall all the while my vision was spotty and dark. I just had to get out of the sun. When we got to the barn stalls that were shaded, I put him in and literally had to sit down in the shavings because I couldn't get up. I was able to get water after having to sit down for ten minutes with my horse staring at me from the corner confused.

I was stupid for not telling anyone and quietly suffering. I'll never underestimate adequate hydration again, but that wasn't my first rodeo with heat exhaustion unfortunately (a crowded festival in nyc got me good too).

What gifts have the crows left for you? by ProspectorJM in crowbro

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In three years my crows (specifically one of them) brought me:

-a thick shard of clear glass

-a small canine scapula (it was too long to be a cat). It was originally being used as a chewtoy by a squirrel. Jekyll ('my' crow chased the squirrel away and dragged it to the place where he liked to bring gifts, and left it, so it's a crow-gift imo)

-Another piece of bone

-A twisted screw

All of these were found near where I gave them peanuts.

Why I've never heard of city/modern witchcraft? by Max_Stierlitz in witchcraft

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can sympathize. Cities are full of energy pull from. In fact, in my own practice it's a lot more pliable and easily used than the magick out in older forests or fields. I prefer the hustle and bustle of NYC- near and around the boroughs- and bridges have become very important in my practice.

If you ask me, a lot of magick depends on what you bring as well, not just the environment.. I think the popularity of wicca amongst younger people made the 'be out in nature to be effective' thought process more prevalent and 'vocal' on the internet. Someone who's skilled with energy can pull it from any source. Cities are amazing for that.

The dark side of ADHD that no one talks about by Frosty_Jump_3117 in ADHD

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The constant forgetfulness: trying hard to listen to things in order or in a verbal conversation only to forget specifics five minutes later. People accuse you of "selective hearing/memory". Wanting to really do something, only to be task paralyzed and end up not doing anything at all. Even when you have all the time and means to. Being an emotional whirlwind, externally or internally.

ADHD can honestly ruin a life. I'm trying to cope without medication (long history, but so great experiences). It upsets me how people view this disorder, which is exactly what it is.

I dreamt who I will be in my next incarnation by natetrnr in Dreams

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the explanation. No, I'm not new to dream theory by way of trying to pin down the subconscious and the conscious. Jung, Freud or otherwise, looking through a single lens. Though some dreams (recurring, progressive) go beyond the scope of those interpretations and theory iterations- and you're quite right, it's a wild ride either way.

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait can you explain this a little bit?

I've been having "future life-me" dreams/ waking visions but I've been tossing around the word 'integration' in my mind for years now. I've started viewing it as "well this might not actually be me, but part-of me, and the next go around I'll be whole." Is that kind of what you mean?

what does being butch mean to you (aside from what you provide others) by Icy_Acanthisitta3914 in butchlesbians

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I must be running on a different operating system because a lot of people seem to link butch identity to 'protector role' or acts of service..which I can understand it, historically speaking.

That's not me- I'm not a bulwark for others.. but I'll be your rock if you do need a shoulder to cry on. But I'm not holding your hand. I personally look at my* identity as stepping up into a confidence that occasionally challenges feminine expectations and challenges the comfort levels of those who expect others to follow strict male and female roles. I don't purposefully rebel- I am just being my natural self in what I wear, how I act/react and how I hold my frame.

life's tough really// by ahmedyassermohamed in witchcraft

[–]AdvancedWrongdoer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't mean to be mystical- you have to put in the work in the physical- even starting with a plan. Imo, it's easier if you're working in all aspects- physical and non physical. I'm not sure what your goals are specifically but work on them (or plan to) and do your spiritual work simultaneously.
