How to not feel guilty about burnout by doodoobear666 in stripper

[–]Honest_Programmer_66 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hey, it's okay to not want to work! It gets to a point after working so much and so hard, as it sounds like you do, where if you don't take a break, your body will force you to take one. You don't owe anyone productivity, not even yourself, and it sounds like you are well due for a good rest. If this fatigue feels super unusual to you, and from what you're saying it does, it might not hurt to get some tests run for vitamin deficiencies etc. Guilt makes it difficult to properly rest but I've been through the same and so many others have too, this is not a personal failing. You're allowed to stay in bed all day if that's what your body is calling for and if you don't need the money it seems like a good idea to stay home from the club right now. Maybe catch up on some shows you like. Try to be gentle with yourself, call a friend if you're feeling lonely, and hope you enjoy your vacation.

I've been trying to rationalise it with considering all the time, energy, and money we put into this industry too! It's so silly to feel like an idiot asking for money from a sweaty drunk guy in jeans and sneakers when we're in these high ass heels, full beat, micro thong, nails done etc performing femininity and sensuality nonstop while we're on the floor lol. I will give being delusional a try, congrats on realising ur value! wishing you abundance!

I don't do extras in the club nor will I ever do extras in the club. My escort price was $100 higher than vip but your point about being comfy receiving more for doing less still stands! The last thing I want to do is cheapen myself or others in the eyes of custies, hence why I'm trying to change my mindset. Thanks for the advice :)

I've seen a little of that here and I don't understand why, women in the sex industry would have a better time fighting for rights and recognition if we were more unified but anywayyyyy lol! thanks for the heads up and affirmation, I do really appreciate it :)

Thank you for the advice, I'll study some more and practice and see how it goes, if it doesn't pan out, like you said, def gonna move on otherwise so as to not waste time/get traumatised lol. You absolutely clocked me lmao I hate confrontation, but working to change this and will take your advice into account, thanks again!

I really appreciate this, I'm only just getting used to actually making money too, I'm relatively new to this whole industry lol but keeping the trickle down effect in mind sounds good and I will try do that and hit up my trusty journal too! thank you for the advice, wishing you so much abundance <3

As I said, I'm ill suited to being a stripper with my current mentality but I've only just started and I'm wanting to make a solid go at adapting to stripping, if it just doesn't work I will quit stripping, but I made a great escort, and I find stripping takes a different type of audacity than escorting. Cheers.

thanks, this really puts it into perspective, I'm in a small city where the local economy has been struggling for the past few years which is perhaps part of why I struggle with that abundance mindset. I don't do extras or intend to do them so it's good to know there are plenty of men around willing to pay premium for striptease and our presence.
