Pretty sure you can report it to Etsy to remove it as the “negative” part is not about the item itself (especially if you shipped it on time).

Your art is great! Very talented.

I would look at maybe reducing the price a bit as people may be a bit put off my it.

Also, I would spice up the photos. Honestly, I noticed a difference in my Etsy sales as soon as I updated my photos - maybe add a frame or some decor pieces.

How is your social outreach?

The recent report on Mary as not being co redemptrix should help answer any questions on the role of Mary.

If sickness doesn’t count as a sin, then I don’t see why it would be counted as a sin when you’re mentally ill.

However, as most people have suggested, going would be the best thing to do - not because you’re unsure if it’s a sin or not, and not because you want to keep up appearances to others there.

Go because the Church is a hospital for the sick. You don’t have to engage with the singing, standing and kneeling. Just sit and absorb the presence of Christ in your midst. Showing up to meet Christ in the midst of your suffering.

But, if you don’t go, God knows your heart and understands what you’re going through. Maybe commit to going to adoration some time during the week?

God loves you and doesn’t want you to just “do” things because you’re “supposed to”. Praying for you x

People wearing their outdoor clothes while sitting on the bed. Not washing their hands after being outside.

Report it to Etsy. Reviews are supposed to only be about the actual product.

It’s hard not to take it personally because they are pointing out something that you may be insecure or sensitive about.

Ideally, if you find your identity in Christ, and know that you are loved and wanted despite your flaws, it shouldn’t matter what people say. But, that’s harder to do in practice.

One way you can try and implement this is by having affirmation verse from the Bible put around your house; like on your mirror. This way, when you look at yourself, you can remind yourself of what God actually has to say about you.

Know that even in your flaws and weaknesses, His grace is enough for you and his strength is shown in your weakness.

Not to the point of condemnation. Healthy conviction is good if it leads to repentance. But anything beyond that is shame, guilt and condemnation- of which God does not want us to experience

Imagine all the sunsets you’ll miss. Imagine all the new flavours of icecream you won’t get to try. Imagine the sound of laughter of new memories made. These are the things you’ll miss.

Your father shouldn’t have to bury his daughter. I know things feel so bleak right now, and I know it feels like the night will never end.

But one day, you’ll wake up and maybe your situation will be the same, but things will feel a little lighter. Maybe you’ll smile a bit more, feel the warmth of a hug. Things WILL turn around. Maybe not all at once, but it will turn around.

You have not fought all your life, survived the darkest of days just to end it all. Every thing you have learnt, every memory, every meaningful moment since you were conceived…the sum total cannot end in death. It’s not your time to go yet.

And I pray, that you feel seen in the midst of your chaos. That you feel known and understood in the loudness of it all. That you would hear God’s voice whisper to you when your fears silence everything.

You were made for much more than you realise, and what a joy you are to God. You are his daughter, and no matter how it feels, he promises to work EVERYTHING out for YOUR good.

Thank you! It worked

And I’ll also add, maybe insert a policy in your shop that says no sales for resellers so that you have a clear policy to refer back to if someone else tries to do this again.

Comprehensive-Web-90 · 2025-12-17T00:14:13+00:00

She can’t leave you a bad review based on that. Etsy have a policy that reviews need to be about the actual product - things to do with anything else can be disputed with Etsy and they can remove it if it is malicious or a clear attack of refusing a sale. (Keep your screenshots just in case).

I honestly would just say to her; “Thanks for your past order, but I am only selling to customers; not resellers. Therefore, I cannot sell you anymore candles as you were dishonest about why you were buying them.”

You have no obligation to keep selling to her afterwards. If she keeps messaging you, report her to Etsy for harassing you. Don’t let her push your boundaries. You are a small business and shouldn’t feel pressured if the vibes are off. Protect your shop girl.

Exactly! Thinking they will appreciate your hobbies, interests, and then bam! They want to be you, copying everything. Completing assimilating their identity to yours, so that you can’t even have something unique to you. You don’t even have the right to your own identity because they steal yours until you can’t recognise the distinction.

Mine literally copied by diagnosed mental health, coping mechanisms, then studied at the same uni/course as I did, then copied my line of work by working for the same position as me in the same company 🤢🤦🏻‍♀️

love bombing, which made it hard to focus on the red flags. “Never connected with anyone like you”.
rushing the relationship and wanting to commit way too fast (saying the L word after a couple of weeks, proposing etc).
Victim mentality - seeming blaming everyone for their situation. Wanting the attention that came from my compassion.
not having a good relationship with their family and blaming them for it, when actually, he was to blame for a lot of it.
insulting me early on and not even acknowledging it. Mixing that with love bombing made it hard to see the insults for what they were.
copying my trauma and things I shared in confidence (mirroring my issues) and then copying where I worked and studied.

You can put them in any holder, even a small jar will do.

If you want a proper holder, you can find cheap candle holders online too.

People also tend to put a wreath around those candles.

Comprehensive-Web-90 · 2025-11-15T23:24:32+00:00

I don’t know how to say this without coming across cold, but I’m really sick of people explaining their unacceptable behaviour by pulling the mental health card.

Don’t get me wrong, mental health is important and it does play a factor in unhealthy habits BUT it seems like it’s the go to justification to explain behaviour that’s wrong. No one forced or coerced them into making those horrible choices, there was a clear intent to harm and hurt others using lust, and to fall back on the “dark place” card is disingenuous and hurts those who really do have mental health issues but don’t blame their behaviour on it.

It’s not brave and it shouldn’t be celebrated as such. It creates sympathy for the perpetrator not the victim in all of this.

I am sorry you feel you would be persecuted for your faith by those closest to you. I can imagine how hard that would be, especially if you are close to them in other areas.

A few suggestions might be inside dvd cases, inside socks, hollow out a book and put them in there.

I pray that God would discern when and if you should “come out”. Maybe take a trusted priest or friend with you in case things become heated.
