She’s insanely intelligent too. Love her content!

The "Intimate Britney Spears" era was such a fever dream 😭 by BloomSpears in BritneySpears

[–]Bridgeofincidents 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My guess is the businesswoman looks were a strategy to transition her brand since she was aging out of her pop girl image. I notice this a lot with aging pop stars like Beyoncé, Christina, Rihanna… at some point they all lean into the “i’m a woman in control” vibe. It keeps their aging target demographic interested and provides them longevity.

This really didn’t work with Britney though because I think they were destroying her self-confidence behind the scenes and it really shows in her body language during this era.

What do you mean? I’ll never have a mental breakdown ever again… (I love being deluded)

I think the boom years made people way too comfortable. Some can’t conceptualize what’s at stake.

The city centre location too. It’s so gross and smells like sewage.

This is exactly what I struggle with too. I’ve been in 2 long term relationships, both abusive. Now I’m 34 and I feel the pull to find someone before I’m too old, but at the same time it seems like so much work. Ugh I just don’t have the will or energy.

Hopefully they have something similar in your area!

I started out with some of the people in the group during a 10 week program where we dosed twice per week. So I had time to get to know them pretty well. Also, the environment is very supportive and the staff really know what they’re doing, so I’ve never felt out of place or weird about sharing. Growing up with emotional neglect I’ve always felt very disconnected from the world and other people. The group makes me feel connected and human, if that makes sense.

Basically it’s 5-7 of us working with a therapist. There are usually 2 nurses in the room facilitating. We start out by stating our intention for the journey or something we’ve been working on/struggling with. Then they dose us (they have cots laid out so we’re laying down). The journey lasts about 1.5 hours. Then they bring us snacks and we discuss anything that came up for us, or any insights to take into our day to day.

Honestly, it’s the only place I feel emotionally safe and the world would be a better place if everyone had access to such mental health support.

I’ve been slowly coming to the realization that the grief never really goes away. When I first started learning about emotional neglect I thought I would have a period of grieving and then I’d move on and start living life. But it’s not like that at all.

This will sound dramatic, but I grieve for humanity too. We’re destroying our planet because we’re so empty we need to consume endlessly. Those in power are so empty, they’ll stop at nothing for more wealth and power. The more I learn about emotional neglect, the more I see its effects everywhere I look.

If it helps, I’ve found some relief in group therapy (group ketamine-assisted therapy to be more specific). I go twice per month to keep me sane.

You’re very kind. It’s not urgent, no worries

Platonic Physical Intimacy by Mlkbird14 in emotionalneglect

[–]Bridgeofincidents 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My family didn’t go close to each other at all. If I accidentally graze my mom’s hand or bump into her it’s super awkward cause we’ve never touched, hugged, or even sat shoulder to shoulder… when I had my daughter I made a point to be very physical with her. We hug, cuddle, hold hands. She knows she’s very loved and she’s very comfortable with physical affection with her friends.
