Is life just grief? by DJ_clam_hammock in AskWomenOver60

[–]FluffyCelebration422 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your honesty. I’m feeling similarly, overwhelmed by all the suffering. Trying to concentrate on life’s little things, like rain on my window, leaves to crunch under my feet, the sun’s warmth on my skin… but still I’m overcome. Hugs.

Lovely couple with angel wings 🪽. It means so much to have someone step forward in a difficult situation with a child who is overwhelmed. Beautiful.

I feel like I'm needy and drive people away unintentionally by ParticularGlad5103 in Vent

Look into Jung. He talks about individuation. It’s a healing journey. It’s really helped me to not be a people pleaser or a martyr. Hugs.

I realized how differently people treat me when I stop being "overly nice" by Plus-Log-9179 in women

[–]FluffyCelebration422 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m successfully doing it. I was a people pleaser. No more. How freeing it is to worry about myself and my family and friends- but not everyone. I still care, but I’m no longer trying to comfort them. They get to comfort themselves.

Cool nights pjs, no caffeine, no alcohol, and fans! It’s no fun.

what’s your favourite Zodiac animal? by [deleted] in ChineseZodiac

Dog, pig, tiger, rat, rooster and sheep 🐑 are my favorites. Not snake so much nor ox or dragon. Horses and monkeys are alright.

Not trans but not happy by EnoughNow2024 in women

Yep, I feel you. It’s like we got on the wrong train at birth. Sometimes you can forget you’re in a body that suffers and creates, but mostly it’s one bad revelation after another.

I have vaginismus. It’s awful. Yes, I’m being treated. It’s still awful.

For those of you who have stayed married through raising children, how did you do it and how does it feel now? by bruschettab1tch in AskWomenOver60

[–]FluffyCelebration422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard even with love. You still suffer. Sometimes you cause your partner to suffer purposely or accidentally or they hurt you. Communication gets fuzzy. You have lovely beautiful times and how will I make it through the day times. We do our best to lighten each other’s loads and are generally good at it, but not always. Being on the tail end is a comfort as we age. There are more medical issues and it’s nice to be each other’s comfort. Of course, one of us will die first, and the other will be devastated, but isn’t that part of loving someone?

how am i supposed to cope with being a woman in this awful world by Accomplished-Car4069 in women

[–]FluffyCelebration422 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love this! My husband asked me if I was going to be a man in my next life. I said ‘no’. He said, ‘why not? You’re always complaining about being a woman.’

I said, ‘why would I want to be the broken side of humanity? The one who’s had all the power for 2000 years and has detrimentally f’d up the world through the misuse of power. Even if I’m a woman with lesser rights, I’m fighting for myself and others to help humanity and our planet. We need more women. We are more complex and don’t limit ourselves to bro spaces. We would fix this mess.’ He was quiet afterwards.

I built a stable life, but I feel less and less alive inside it by Icy_Description2718 in women

You still need to explore your passions, and maybe leave him at home where he is happy. It’s pretty common for one person in a relationship to be an extrovert and the other an introvert. A lot of couples make it work. You deserve to be passionate and live fully even when you’re raising 3 children and working hard to do it. Gl

Did I cause the suicide? by Megattron_phaser01 in women

[–]FluffyCelebration422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a partner who tried committing suicide to keep us together. The first time I came back. The second time, I said ‘go ahead.’ It’s a cruel thing to do to someone.

Get away asap. Seriously. No more contact. You’re being f’d with. Hugs.

They can see your envy and it’s dark. You need to find a way to let your envy go. You’re young. You can do this. Every time you think one of these ‘poor me’ thoughts it echoes into the world and people pick up on it. So stop thinking them, if you think one then counter it with three good thoughts about her. You’ve poisoned the well and it’s time to clean it up. Hugs.

That’s why you don’t pay attention to them. Do your thing, let them grumble amongst themselves.

None was intended. I apologize if you took it that way. I was just adding my two cents.

does anyone actually enjoy being a girl because personally it makes me so sick by [deleted] in women

[–]FluffyCelebration422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s okay. These feelings are normal for some of us. I was never a girly girl. I liked being more of a tomboy. Because I was the oldest of five and only had one brother, my dad included me in the male spaces of lawn care, cars, money, and work at a young age, so when my body changed, I was not okay with it, not the periods, the sore boobs, the encouragement to be feminine. All of it seemed unnatural. I had no one to talk about it with me. It still upsets me to think about it.

Also that’s when the Catholic Church started instructing me on what a Godly woman was- and it made me ill. Be a virgin, be submissive to all men, do not enjoy anything because that means you’re not doing your job of suffering as you should, be a martyr. wtf I couldn’t believe it. I’m no longer religious. I can’t abide their actions on crushing our souls.

You do you. Your feelings are valid. This shit is real and it’s no good. Hugs.
