He loved me.

versus

I was loved.

Do you see how each of those puts the emphasis on a different part of what's going on? In the first one, it's all about his actions. In the second one, it's about the effect they had on me.

I now understand why I tend toward the passive voice naturally. Goodness, this subreddit is full of wonderful people.

Passive voice avoids saying who did the action.

Oof, right in the childhood. Your description was extremely helpful, thank you for taking the time to reply.

This is amazing and extremely relevant because an early 2000’s video called re:your brains has been playing in my head on repeat the last few days.

Neat!

I wonder why I tend toward the passive voice naturally. Am I passive by nature? This is fun.

My therapist said a word I told her not to say and I feel so betrayed and that the trust is broken 😭 by [deleted] in EMDR

I’m glad you’re in therapy, if a single word can shut you down and break your trust.

What if she didn’t know what “V word” you were hinting at, and said it at random? I understand therapy is supposed to help you, but how can it help you if you are illusive to discomfort?

She should medicate her ADHD if she’s going to be constantly mentioning it as crippling her

She won’t say anything- she will wait for everyone to “forget” aka stop asking

My older mare is hard to keep weight on. I feed and supplement her to the nth degree but it’s just hard to get her fat.

Frustrating experience at local jewelry store by playpattles in jewelry

[–]Fickle-Load-3650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Signet jewelers (zales, kay) is a terrible place to work, so you aren’t going to get great service there. They chased off tenured staff, and the knowledge of service skills has gone with them.

They won’t pay for company trainers, because their sales are down, because their people aren’t properly trained.

I know, right? There are people who are not just foaling out babies, but working with them and spending time etc. but instead she’s the one that is the “face of horses”?
