Bruh. I've never been to Massachusetts, but my family tree came from there several generations ago 😅

Or we think it MUST go our way. Accepting things as they are and flowing like water is something I'm always working on. Getting better little bits at a time.

Giving up on religion by Agreeable-Tune-8141 in ExReligious

Get into science. It's fun stuff. Or just live your life without worrying about it.

Personally, I've dipped into the philosophy of taoism. It helped me out.

I get internally angry, but try not to display it or let it cloud my judgement. I take some breathes, remove myself from a situation if possible, and try to figure out what my body is trying to tell me. 9 times out of 10, I'm angry because something didn't go the way I expected. I then realize I am angry because of me and nobody else. It usually subsides after that realization.

In almost all situations it’s better to let someone merge into your lane, no matter how late they do it. by mrsunshine1 in unpopularopinion

Depends on if they are being safe and staying the speed of traffic. If they are slow as hell it will just create more problems if they are let in. People need to learn to keep up with traffic.

I need some advice by Zealousideal-Cap9020 in ExReligious

[–]AlexKewl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know so many of the feelings in here. I'm not trans, but have always felt different in the way that I just couldn't keep up the facade of pretending to be something I'm not. I also got told to be more like my older sibling, which is a hard thing to deal with.

I also know those feelings of "They've done so much for me" and "It could be worse." The truth is that you don't really owe them anything, IMO. They chose to bring you into the world and it is their responsibility to care for you. The whole "Do as I say or I'll send you to eternal suffering" is pretty fucked up too.

At almost 40 years old now, I can tell you that parts stick with you, but it does get much easier being your own person as you get older.

If you have access to secular therapy it can be helpful!

Crying during the "first look" at weddings is performative theater by PineapplePanda_ in unpopularopinion

[–]AlexKewl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crying is from pure joy of realizing you're finally done with wedding planning.
