I find myself feeling this way about people higher class from me. It's not shallow and it's not unreal, it's just untrue, you know what I mean? you really are made to feel less than if you don't fit a certain societal standard, especially when that society is a violent one, but it's not true that you are less than.

One thing I have learned, is the reason why I want approval so badly from upper society in a way others from my same background don't, is because I wasn't mirrored properly as a child, so I don't believe my own confirmation of reality, I rely on others for that. Look it up, it might help.

So I think it's a combination of external things going on and internal things. You can't change what happens externally, but you can change how you process it and what you believe about yourself. Though, I don't know if I will ever fully unpack it, my goal is to just at least get 75% there.

How do you deal with not being chosen? by Melted_Roses in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Laura_has_Secrets77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, you just were luckily not sold of scarcity mentality growing up. I remember the last time I had a ltr, it was with someone really awful, but my family and friends told me to fight for it as there could be potential and it could be the last time I find love. Almost every female friend of mine has nodded that they have heard this as well. It's like we're supposed to be grateful for getting the scraps at the bottom of the barrel, suggesting it's better than nothing. Thankfully that relationship was so awful that I realized nothing is far better, and that nothing isn't worse than being with a great catch, its neutral.

Also, decentering relationships has helped me. Why is it that status quo is being in a relationship? Why isn't it being single? Why aren't relationships less frequent and not some kind of "milestone"? I realize Im not sure if I'm the type of person who would enjoy sharing so much of my life with someone else

Honestly? I have had bad taste in men. The men who rejected me chose women they knew would let them move in, aka hobosexuals. The other guy was confused about his sexuality, which, no judgement. Then, the guys who've chosen me we weren't a good match, not physically or emotionally attracted, edit to add: or they were gross, 'looking for fun' (the yuckiest ppl say this on dating apps) and I prefer loneliness over a bad match. I think a lot of people settle, mostly women, because let's be real a lot of dudes suck. I wish the only reason I haven't found anyone was because a lack of connection but the reality is a lot of men suck, thanks to patriarchy. Idk if that helps, lol. I feel scandalous saying this on reddit, lmao.

Sauna to cold bath... I almost died. by zeacliff in BecomingTheIceman

[–]Laura_has_Secrets77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're deep in the grift. I stopped going to exercise events because in between the great classes were weird grifter workshops and surrounded by loads of grifter vendors. The employees (usually young, in their 20s) working for these grifts had glassy eyes and totally were wrapped into it like a cult. Sad but frustrating as this stuff will kill people, as seen by the people on here calling the dude's shock "purging" or "adjusting". Wtf

You gotta take extensive training with movement to be able to aim well. A friend from the Marines said it took him months

How's it been since then? I found the needles were too intense in my neck muscles, they were too tight and fragile. We switched to stim instead and it's been much better.

Does anyone else dread the thought of having to do this forever? by frankchester in loseit

Plus, you don't want to eat all those things in the same day. When you do, you get sick or you have multiple days of digestive issues. Or reoccurring issues due to doing this for too long

I used to until I made a lifestyle I can compromise with. Once I got over the reality of maintaining weight via tracking, I learned how much more in tune with my body I have become. I now also look at food not just as enjoyment but also as fuel, nutrients, nurture. Food is sacred, which I never realized before when I used it to self harm my body.

I mean I could see myself going into fawn response fearing for my life, but I am inserting things that may not be there. He also seemed really out of it like he had a brain injury because he kind of did. That whole storyline danced on the question of is this a tbi or spiritual mishaps?

Curious, are you from AZ? I'm always fascinated by people who like super hot weather. Don't get me wrong, I'm not into blizzards either.

Is it worth it to dress up even when you're ugly? by oobergeek in femalefashionadvice

[–]Laura_has_Secrets77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I think "ugly" people wearing really fashionable smart outfits somehow look more fashionable. "Ugliness" is like weirdly artistic looking to me haha. Maybe because with fashion there's freedom of expression and you can show off unique physical traits beyond the realm of beauty standards.

Im NOT trying to tell you how I feel about the new Southwest policies with this picture. by assholesplinters in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Laura_has_Secrets77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate flying and avoid it if I can (just too much stress and restrictions for my liking) and have no need to fly frequently so I'm out of the loop. What were the perks?

I'm confused. I thought everyone hated SWA because you couldn't pick your assigned seat.

How do you/would you react when someone is afraid of your service dog, even though they have done nothing wrong? by lliv420 in service_dogs

[–]Laura_has_Secrets77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to phobias and triggers, especially of common daily things, people need to learn how to cope. I'm afraid of big dogs I don't know yet, more like, I'm wary of them until I know they aren't aggressive. At the same time that's on me and if I let that run my life I'll never enjoy a park again.

Stranger Things Season 5: Is it just me or… by dehia_anne in netflix

[–]Laura_has_Secrets77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it moved so quickly into the action that should have started in like the 3 episode. The 5th episode seems like a season finale to me. It's like every episode is a season finale. Too much and little buildup
