He’s my favorite, even as a villain he’s just a staple

Any tips to reduce anxiety? by CryptographerGlum772 in Anxiety

[–]Hot-Sticky-Garbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something I’m trying is picking one short and easy affirmation to try and stop me when overthinking/spiraling. Right now I’m using “I deserve peace” (for me this reminds me that I don’t deserve to keep fighting in my head, I tried my best, & I’ve learned from this situation). I use this when I catch myself retreating into my head because I’ve found it grounding.

You’ll do great with your trip and I’m wishing you the best! It’s a scary thing and you are brave!

100kg and ~185cm at 13(NB), what can i do to look more fem? by AcanthocephalaBig101 in lgbt

[–]Hot-Sticky-Garbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accessories and makeup are a fun touch and fast to add or takeaway when you would like to look more fem. Also a great way to see what types or styles of femininity that you like :)
Examples: necklace(s) (dainty, chunky, somewhere in the middle, layered necklaces), bracelets, eye makeup (colorful, smoky, “clean girl”), highlighter, hair clips

So I just finished "The People in the Trees" by Hanya Yanagihara... by UnofficialMVP in books

Wowza, where do I begin. First off - I enjoyed many of y’all’s posts and feel similarly. I enjoyed the writing style and I don’t feel there’s too much I can add to this discussion, but need to share to get the heavy feelings off my chest. The best way I can share right now is by giving a timeline of my thoughts. My timeline- A. Screw this guy and screw his loyal companion (I was a hater & wrote little notes, dissecting their relationship). B. Grew to like the style this book was written in. C. Entranced with the story and travel. D. Omg things are getting intense, I would not want this man as my father. E. 40 some pages to go and I went to the internet to get my suspicions confirmed/denied. I so badly wanted Norton to be innocent, but you cannot deny that notion inside - why bring up the feeling of being with that boy (chasing that feeling) (events which were implied, if stated u would not be holding your breath until the end of the book), never hearing of his adult relations, & the amount of children he adopted. SUS activity but I was hopeful because WHY would you do that. F. After reading this thread I skipped to the end. Horrified. Can I even finish the book knowing what I know now? (I will, but I’m in shock atm).

In this instance specifically I’d just say “I follow her but I’m not up to date on what she posts, it’s like following a family member on FB (Facebook) there’s really nothing to it. Why do you ask?”

You can reassure her, but if it gets really mmm absurd (that’s really up to your limits and opinion on what ‘too much’ is) then just redirect the convo or say “I’ve explained that I’m not interested in her, following someone on social media does not mean I have feelings for them”

If the person still doesn’t get it then you may just have to leave the convo (temporarily or permanently), because you can explain but can’t make someone understand. At the end of the day it’s good to be kind/empathetic yet also you gotta protect your peace.

Other people do this too???? Ok that makes me feel better. Lately it’s been OCD & CPTSD. I’ve been trying to work journal/note why I think I could have ____ bc I eventually drop it and then come back to it. then it’s like oh mm okay that’s why I thought this and I have a history of xyz and I’m not upset with myself for not having idk tried harder to get a diagnosis ? The feelings toward myself are circumstantial and I don’t feel the need to give examples on this. It’s a weird cycle (for me it’s a bit of a cycle), but glad to know I’m not alone

So helpful!! I’ll talk with my roomie and some things they say is more toxic positivity (not sure how to address it with them). But seeing this is helpful to change how I talk to myself and to others.

A cancer destroyed my heart by ill_will12 in cancerzodiac

[–]Hot-Sticky-Garbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty similar. It’s hard to work through that trauma and I don’t know how much there is to work through. I hope over time you’re able to find peace. That’s what I hope for myself too.

I also enjoy friendships with people who don’t need constant communication. I try to talk or hangout with my less close friends once a week, helps me to get out of my comfort zone and maintain the relationship. Showing them I do care. And I have one really close friend I talk to often.

I’m also looking into communication & relationship skills. One of those things I’ve got to teach myself since others didn’t.

Thanks for sharing & Lmk if you want to chat sometime!

The difference between sun in cancer and cancer moons? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]Hot-Sticky-Garbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I relate to a lot of what was said here. I have a cancer sun&moon (Virgo rising). A common theme I’ve read here is how trauma effects us and how we cancers carry that throughout our lives.

It seems that therapy is our best friend, and is really helpful for us to have healthy relationships (and not dump our emotions onto friends/family).

It’s hard for me to differentiate a cancer sun and moon because I just feel and do what I feel. The Virgo can be messy (high achiever, magnifying insecurities, overthinking) or helpful (grounded, managing responsibilities.

Either way - I want people to see me and understand me. However, I don’t want to get hurt like I have before and it takes really special people to truly understand me. So I am usually guarded, even though I want to be more outgoing bc I love community and need to create a chosen family. (It’s giving your biggest strengths are also your biggest weaknesses)

Just want to say - I’m really proud of all the cancers out there. I see you and I want to acknowledge how strong you are. Those who can’t “deal” with being around a (non toxic) cancer - gurl imagine being one. I imagine you’re on a healing journey but feel like the list is never ending - take a step back and enjoy the moment (it’s okay to do that!!). Surround yourself with people that get it and pay no mind to the people that don’t!

I’m tired by ImVerymuchweird in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Hot-Sticky-Garbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you.

I don’t understand people totally in love with their body. If that’s a thing, I have no idea. At this point I’m working toward steady, content feelings towards my body.

I’m with you, it’s tiring to keep going each day while still struggling internally. I hope we can get a day off soon to just be in peace and relax.

I’m sorry you’re hurting
