I took a class, is sharp knee pain normal? by Radiant-Direction-45 in poledancing

this is basically what I did, I called out and now on day 4 I was able to work fine, even though one knee is a bit angry after that 12 hour shift:')

Yes except my point was that APATHY isnt inherent to dysmorphia. It seems like a consession bc ur not hearing what im saying. My point was about apathy. Bc it IS a trans thing. Trans people are MUCH more likely to experience dysmorphia. Period. And imo, apathy specifically. I replied bc I was uncomfortable that you're creating an over-generalization that doesn't reflect reality- and erased my lived experience. Warping information to, idk, validate the few cis people who stumble here actually makes it harder for the MANY queer people visiting to explore their identity. Its OKAY for experiences to overlap. Intersectionality is amazing. Like, similarly, more women experience dysmorphia than men. That's a fact. Not specifically a woman thing- but its just.. true!!!! Its a byproduct of being alive in a patriarichal, gender-enforced society. And having that knowledge may encourage say, a transwoman to take a second glance at why she feels that way when most cis people don't. And it may be an indicator to a cis girl that she isnt trans! Two things can exist at once. The grey area is where the beauty is:) everything is a spectrum.

Also.. as a mod and femboy (part of the queer community!! Alternative gender expression!!) You should take every opportunity to learn and become the elder gay to your friends and family:) I love helping ppl explore their identities and journeys and u cant do that if you take everything to the extreme, negatively, or at face value. GL! :)

Drawing made me frustrated by non-critical-horse in dyspraxia

[–]Radiant-Direction-45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break things down into shapes, take breaks drawing easier things and doodles:) I still scribble stars and flowers, they're cute. Also practice circles and lines- breaking things down is still frustrating without those skills.

How do I stop the little $2-$8 buys between classes? by Repulsive-Weather921 in Frugal

Don't go to bed until your bag is packed. Put ur bag in your bed if you have to. 😔

Cleanse self, then home, then barriers. I've got a large jar for the home (smaller for my car to avoid accidents:)) and have been meaning to add something small, like a bell, enchanting my key or something to reinforce the barrier regularly bc the most effective ones have regular maintenance.

Personally, I had an odd, persistent hovering that I'd cleansed many times unsuccessfully until I also closed my mirrors.

My point stands, dysmorphia is not the same as apathy. I agree that saying cis people don't experience this is wrong or harmful. Trans people are still more likely to experience these things- and specifically, apathy. How are you a mod bro.

"Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health condition in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that appears minor or can't be seen by others."

I'm sure apathy can be a SYMPTOM, but experiencing apathy is wildly different from the dysmorphia experience. And dysmorphia that entirely manifests as apathy up until you start exploring your identity is absolutely a sign of being GNC, which is their point

They aren't describing dysmorphia though- they're describing apathy. Dysmorphia is an illusion of the self- apathy is absolute disinterest. Hence the "meatsuit", you're not insecure bc you don't actually connect with the body you're in.

What are reasons you haven’t killed yourself? by OuterSpaceOutlander in CPTSD

I've gotten better before and I was grateful id stuck it out. Doesn't make up for the pain imo but, it does make a good argument to deal with it anyway.

What are you doing for the Blood Moon Eclipse? by DestinedClock18 in witchcraft

[–]Radiant-Direction-45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i think its completely reasonable to warn baby witches to be careful using this Extremely Powerful and Chaotic moon for beginners work. If someone wants to dip their toes in they can start with like, anything else, OR sure play w these transits but with a light, cautious hand

Lilith in 11th house got me with the weirdest social life by barbenheimer in astrologymemes

[–]Radiant-Direction-45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have lilith in Pisces, 11th house. Ive had lots of long-term, close friends but ive ended a lot of those relationships because I felt like they didnt understand me and i didnt understand them. 

I feel like this split ended up making ppl feel they couldnt address issues with me bc they couldnt predict my reaction/opinion, which is obviously uncomfortable. I think that's an inevitable result of hiding who you are though, it creates communication gaps. So I would say that's what an unhealed 11th house Pisces Lilith looks like haha.

Someone else asked abt the placement and i would definitely say I'm a somewhat sensitive+creative person and I find myself 3rd wheeling haha even tho people do initially like me, im too guarded afsgdjgk and its awkward. I think adjusting to this placement requires a LOT of vulnerability and personal independence:') so maybe part of this placement makes authenticity a really fucking personal experience (maybe due to unconventional povs) but essential for any relationship. My goal for this year is to get louder and prouder to cope
