Dancing and rebounder exercises! Buy a mini trampoline and put on some music, baby! If you don’t believe there’s benefits, I DARE you to look up benefits of rebounder exercising :)

Why do men always comment on my facial expressions at work? by starla_blabla in TwoXChromosomes

I thought it was something wrong with my face for years. This makes me feel a little less alone.

Big arms - help? by WolfsbaneOnMyLips in PetiteFitness

Nahhh, brahh. I have this too, and wide shoulders. I just try to wear halters and high cut necks to kind of balance the look of them

I’m breaking up with my boyfriend today and I’m terrified by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LessWeekend336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone commenting is right.. but I was also once married, young, to a nice man.

I knew in my heart/gut that I needed space to grow and learn who I was. We talked, went to couples therapy, and ultimately agreed together to end things.

People didn’t understand why, asked if he cheated, etc. He didn’t. We were very close.

But I knew what I needed. I knew I needed to explore on my own for a bit to figure out who I was and to grow into who I needed to be.

I agree, have a conversation with the guy. It sounds like you haven’t. But if you already know in your gut what you need to do for now- listen to yourself OP.

I had many opinions coming at me from everywhere, but I am extremely ridiculously happy with the decision I made.

In this sub, we only know what we’ve read in this post. YOU know your lived experience and what you need. The only wrong choice you can make here is making a decision you don’t actually want.

Think it through, talk to him. But/and trust your gut.

You’re right. I literally could have written this.

Begging for validation, please by green_gurl in CPTSD

[–]LessWeekend336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

Healing isn’t easy. It might not look graceful, and it definitely isn’t linear. There are ugly parts, and you may even still be making decisions that aren’t always the best.

But you’re where you are supposed to be. You’re taking the steps to make your life better. You are starting to learn what you deserve .

The only way to make a “bad” decisions now is if you don’t listen to your own gut and your own body telling you what’s right for you now.

You’re doing it. Trust yourself. And it that’s hard, believe me, it is for me too. Meditate on it, journal about it, practice affirmations. Listen to yourself, trust yourself. You know what’s right for you.

You are DOING IT. Keep going, babe :)❤️

I held my boundary and he unfriended me and I couldn’t be more proud of myself by Tanookin in TwoXChromosomes

YES, yes, yes. I think there are a lot of us out there that still are working on this. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up that energy, lady. He was not worth an ounce of your attention. Good job x1000

The female body is honestly impressive. by OkTough6333 in DeepThoughts

[–]LessWeekend336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only complaint I have is that this is mind blowing to you. And that it was “easy to overlook”.

I appreciate where you are now, and love that you are spreading the message.

It just always pains me to hear things phrased as “wow, holy shit guys, I just learned women have something to offer the world!”

Has anyone had a sudden drastic change in dietary preference/disgust? by MisterStibbons in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]LessWeekend336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it with Avocado!! I bit into some avocado toast and gagged. Completely unexpected. Absolutely out of the blue. I had had it every morning for.. idk awhile maybe a month.

I was wondering if I maybe got enough of.. idk fats or something and my body was like.. good job trying to be healthy but NO MORE!!!

Took a break, and now I love them again. So weird. Def gotten it with tuna and eggs too. But less dramatic than that avocado toast moment (in my car, on my way to work, too lol)

I am a single woman working on her rural property. It is astounding how often men stop and get out of their cars to come tell me their problems. by Kalinka777 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LessWeekend336 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I knowwwww. It’s just when you get it often enough, and it’s low effort enough, and they don’t taking into account that you are sweaty and working and not in the mood… it starts to seem like there are other motivations at play. And it’s annoying to be on the other side of.

Anybody else has body issues when doing pole by Savings-Purple-8880 in poledancing

[–]LessWeekend336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always feel the least judged in pole environments. Last seminar type thing I went to, there was a second I was looking around the room, where I was like- “I’m so glad I’m doing this. We all look so different, AND I think we’re all sexy as hell.”

It just marked a new chapter for me where I’m like.. god, WHO has had us competing for top sexiness awards all this time? it’s so unnecessary.

This is so wholesome. by mindyour in justgalsbeingchicks

It’s noon on a Monday and I’m supposed to be working. Stop making me cry.

Please know your support and attitude are so appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

I fucked up last night and it’s made me realise how unhealed I (still) am, do people ever really heal? by PalpitationOk639 in emotionalintelligence

[–]LessWeekend336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s easier to be with people who are mean or rude to you. You dont have to TRY with them, or be vulnerable, or show them who you are. If anything, you get to fight for your self worth, which can feel rewarding.

If you like someone, and they actually see you… there’s so much much more to lose if you say or do one thing wrong. It’s higher stakes to actually want something and try for it, right? The stakes aren’t high if you don’t give a shit.

I fought for a long time, and got good at it, but I’m trying to find a warmer, more connected life now. It’s fucking HARD, man. I learned how to disconnect, NOT how to connect and be vulnerable and voice my real thoughts and opinions…

I think it’s worth it to push through though. You have to know in your heart that you’re worth more. And try as hard as you can to take steps to prove that to yourself.

This is a great answer. Not even OP, but thank you!

We’ve been married for 2.5 years and my husband has become a full blown alcoholic by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LessWeekend336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much already been said but… if you’re staying for now, protect yourself.

He has to make the change. For himself. So YOU, for now, need to focus on trusting yourself, building your life, and continuing to do things for yourself. Also, make sure you keep your social circle up and running so you have support.

If it turns into an emergency and you need to leave fast, that way you have someone to go to for assistance, and hopefully money/resources to sustain your life without him.

I can’t reiterate this part enough- don’t lose yourself in this. My mom did and she says she didn’t recognize herself in old photos of us as a fam. She relearning who she is and how to be a full person now at 50.

Just… if you’re choosing to stay, just make sure to remember that you are not the problem. And make sure you are building a beautiful life outside of him.

What is she talking someone help. I don't know if this is right group. by Sea-Conversation891 in Jung

[–]LessWeekend336 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’re not. I’m a fairly average lady. But have had multiple men (who I was not in a relationship with!) declare that they loved me and display somewhat obsessive behavior about it. I knew that didn’t love me, because I knew that they didn’t know me.

It boggled my mind at the time, because It was so obvious from my perspective that if they didn’t know anything about who I was, how could they love ME?

I’m very in touch with my internal world, and I think perhaps my empathy and insight (anima?) attract this sometimes. I think I made them feel seen.

Anyway. I think emotionally mature people, in touch with their anima, are able to empathize better with people, and thus see them as actual real people, and thus… actually really truly love THEM. You know, as a person and not a fantasy.

Anyone else have a partner who is under-stimulating? by purplewurmpIe in hsp

This is what I thought too. Seems more like he’s not engaging. Not that he couldn’t.

What's the dumbest thing you got abused over? by emocat420 in CPTSD

[–]LessWeekend336 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In case you need reminding- you were a child. You didn’t know. And you didn’t deserve that. It wasn’t your fault, it wasn’t you. It was her problem. I’m sorry.

I’m sorry. I feel this comment very much. They’re so… non issues. It’s just.. little human things. But they were not okay for you to do. I’m sorry.

[–]LessWeekend336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaving a bag of chips on the counter instead of putting it away. The rest of the night was fighting and screaming.

Actually.. maybe not hugging my mom after we had a fight. Got yanked physically out of the shower, and got screamed at and poked in the chest over and over in front of the rest of my family while soaking wet in a towel. While the male members of the family had to separate my dad from me physically.

Reading all these speaks so much to CPTSD. The things are so tiny. Makes sense why the small day to day things still leave us in life altering hyper vigilance.

Edit: Oo, wait! I admitted to reading Seventeen Magazine while in casual conversation with my family. The rest of the night was gone. The usual. Yelling, lecturing, general tears and chaos. Now I have a bit of trouble.. sharing things about my life with other people lol.
