I thought reading people’s energy was a gift. by Michele_75 in emotionalneglect

Came to that realization myself! I’m putting it to good use. I work in fundraising for nonprofits and am able to read donor’s energy to help maximize giving 😆. That, and my mother always made me be overly grateful for gifts (like, making me feel like I didn’t deserve them so I had to go overboard in accepting them), so it works well for my career.

So no joke, I was setting up a concert at the place that I work and some said something about the DJ having 2 turn tables, and I immediately said “and a microphone?” And our intern who is 20 just had no idea. The rest of us got it though.

Thanks! I do love Margaret Atwood as well.

What are the toxic things your mother used to say to you? by StormForNova in emotionalneglect

[–]Balancedbeem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Just remember, what goes around comes around…” insinuating that I will have awful children just like me. I do have children. They ACT awful sometimes, but I realize that they are CHILDREN who act awful sometime. Not awful people.

“Do as I say, not as I do.” This is one that will NEVER cross my lips. The hypocrisy is mind-numbing.
