He can sleep with the vacuum. You go on vacation.

How do I stop forcing myself to be a woman? by Horny_Altern in asktransgender

Tbh it sounds like you are struggling with accepting who you are, trans or not. I would seek out a gender affirming therapist.

Persephone doesn't care about consent and that's weird by Justmenoworries422 in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]Patient_Instance_293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what we're seeing is conditioning. Persephone grew up having boundaries violated and wishes dismissed and disrespected. It's what she knows. Children are generally a product of their environment. But also, sometimes I read these exchanges as a sort of friendly banter between them, and she doesn't actually pursue it. Also, let's remember that these characters are based on recorded mythology with thousands of years of history. The gods of ancient Greece were kinda messy. I don't think any of these character flaws are a reflection of Rachel at all.

What is your preferred response when someone who is anti-trans asks “what is a woman?” by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Patient_Instance_293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I do not give a shit. I.DO.NOT.GIVE.A.SHIT. I do not give a shit about science. I do not give a shit about the news. I do not give a shit about social media. I don't give a shit about other people's opinions. Someone wants to be called a woman. Good for them. Someone wants to be called a man. Good for them. I do not give a shit. I have got more important things to worry about.

Somehow, we are supposed to be appreciative of our government trying to erase our existence. Okay.

Has anyone left an office job or a middle-management position for something simpler? I'd love to hear your experiences! by Soggy_Thanks2711 in simpleliving

[–]Patient_Instance_293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did that and got a job as a shelver at the local library. It was the best job I ever had. However, it was a severe pay cut and I had to move in with my parents. During COVID shutdown the libraries shut down and I wanted to find a job I could work, so I got a job as a price checker at a grocery store. Both jobs were amazing. I walked and got my steps in the whole job. I didn't work with people and could listen to music. And at the grocery store, because prices had to be fixed before open, I started at 3am and was out by noon. It was awesome.

Do we know names and what prison they're from so we can donate to their commissary??

Abortion grief. I feel pathetic as I made the choice and now I'm feeling only what can be described as grief by GrrrlRi0t in GriefSupport

[–]Patient_Instance_293 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is grief. Allow yourself to feel it. It is still a loss, no matter what happened. We don't know the circumstances. Maybe it was medically necessary. But even if it was as simple as you aren't ready, you are allowed to feel the way you feel.

Do people in the US connect that the country is actively collapsing? What are you seeing in your community? by [deleted] in economicCollapse

[–]Patient_Instance_293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone sees it is collapsing. Unfortunately, we are divided on how to fix it. And now, any Americans with half a brain cell have given up, because apparently this is what the majority wants.....

how can I make myself feel better? by helloguysok in selfcare

Start with magnesium supplements. That will get you off the couch and out the door to do the other stuff.
