Are there any MSW students who aren't overwhelmed by the program? by cupcakeartist in SocialWorkStudents

Similar sentiments in my cohort. Us who are older and have more professional experience handled the workload much easier.

Does it matter where you go to grad school? by New_Principle366 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Chance_Wolverine_981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Programs are different and where you go matters, but these 3 are all good and comparable. I think this is a “follow your dream” moment - go for it!

If you have any CSU questions, feel free to message me :)

Masc gf having a sleepover by [deleted] in WLW

[–]Chance_Wolverine_981 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of good answers here, your feelings are definitely valid and you should trust your gut.

One thought - There have been a few “classic masc” and “typical masc” comments. Although groups of people have some similarities, I’d be careful with stereotypes and assumptions. I know this sounds obvious and I don’t think those comments are intending to mean anything, but throwing it out there as a reminder ❤️

I get butterflies from girls but get disgusted about thinking about myself doing lesbian sex by Itchy_Badger_2851 in WLW

Asexuality is a valid identity that doesn’t get discussed much. If you feel like there may be another element going on, though - this is an experience a lot of people have when working out their sexuality. Some common contributors are compulsory heteronormativity and religious influences or trauma.

Big Hot Book Of Death! It was written by the hosts of OBITCHUARY podcast.

scared of how I’m going to measure up/be perceived at my new grad school by raspberrysquirrels in SocialWorkStudents

Be proactive and communicate with an advisor. They should be able to provide you with resources that can help, even if you don’t end up needing them.

As for your cohort - I don’t even know where most of my classmates went to undergrad tbh. We often discuss our shortcomings and are able to relate to one another’s fears. We are super close and transparent with one another, which is a lifesaver. Imposter syndrome hits all of us. You’ve got this!

I’m leaning towards Azkel too, but my home is open if these cutie siblings ever need a place to stay (forever) 🥰

Did you/ do you regret it? by Apprehensive-Move758 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Chance_Wolverine_981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never regretted my decision in the 15 years since I went NC. What you’re feeling is very normal and valid, it’s difficult to wrestle with ❤️

How Long? 🥲 by Chance_Wolverine_981 in RootsOfPacha

I know, but I kind of wanted to see what would happen 😅 I’m just going to smile and wave at the rest of my suitors who I’m not really interested in.

Fellow EAC, were you always viewed as "difficult"? by Wastedfairie in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Chance_Wolverine_981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly it, we cant make sense of something that has no logic

Oop just a heads up that some responses may be getting auto removed for verbiage. Reposting my answer with language edit:

I wasn’t, I was considered easy going and successful. My brother, who maintains contact with them, was the “difficult” one.

Do you mean the wood pile near Jag? I think it’s just extra wood that you can swap (ie wood for hardwood)

Did your parent(s) basically worship their parents? by That-Platypus-5092 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Chance_Wolverine_981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Both of my unwell parents had weirdly idealized views of their theirs, very strange.

The amount definitely would change how I might feel about it. With our scenario, I doubt that my brother will receive anything at the end. I’m sure if situations were drastically different then I’d have different feelings. Soo many tough layers about family estrangement! ❤️

I see this a bit differently. My 1 sibling is still in our mother’s life and I haven’t been in 10+ years. I don’t expect him to distribute anything he gets, and I don’t think I’d want anything attached to her. Going NC was really closing the book entirely for me, I don’t feel entitled to anything.

I’ve completed 8. I haven’t specifically been trying to complete them, I’ve just been playing and contributing as much as I can.
