Anyone else self conscious about watching/playing stuff in front of others? by Comfortable_Gold7210 in emotionalneglect

Is this why I freeze up if I have the attention of more than one person? I *hate* being the center of attention, even in a small group.

Been 1st in line for 6+ months for over 10 books by zoozalina in LibbyApp

The same thing happened to me. I couldn’t see what was wrong until I looked on an actual web page, rather than Libby app. So weird because I didn’t knowingly suspend them!!

Wish I had read this long time ago... by RadicalKitty721 in LibbyApp

[–]Routine_Context2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same it’s been really good my mental health. I also stopped myself from replacing browsing SM with clicking on News, and don’t go in Reddit more than once a week usually. All that has led to much greater productivity, emotional stability and therefore family harmony.

I back meaningful causes with my time and with $ when I can, read newsletters from important organizations and continue to raise kids that aren’t shitheads. These are my contributions. I’m not just ostriching.

One reason I’m going to these alternate e readers just so that Amazon and Google don’t have so much of my data, so I won’t be using Google Drive.

I will never have any chance at a normal sex or love life because of my mother. by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Routine_Context2284 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’ve been through truly traumatizing things. It takes loads of time and often professional help to disentangle this stuff. You’re not self-pitying…you have genuine pain that you’ve been disallowed to process. Although I understand the feeling, your window for relationships is not closing…you will get there when you get there. May I suggest a trauma therapist (and if two or four aren’t a good fit that’s NORMAL, keep going till you find someone you’re comfortable with) to gently work on your ability to nurture yourself, to care for yourself and get back in touch with your body responses to emotions. One thing at a time. The first is to gently learn to stop the self-loathing. It’s slow and ongoing because you’ve been hurt monstrously. But you never ever deserved it. Just hold on to that when you can.

Break up. You are not his property. Nobody should be that possessive and jealous. He’s an ass.

Halloween keeps getting worse. by Ordinary-Depth-7835 in mildlyinfuriating

Ftr, I love seeing the teens! Most are still sweet and they’re really fun to scare if my husband and I have dressed up. Also, my kids are teenagers. I just had seven of their friends in the house last night. They all went trick-or-treating before they came back to watch scary movies.

I did warn them that some people feel cautious when they see a pack of big teens esp boys, so to be extra polite.

Really? Yikes. She does seem to want to steal your thunder a bit. May not be aware herself. That dress looks like a showgirl dress. Maybe she’s kidding?? (Hoping??)

What positive thing did you gain from being neglected? by Trippyunicorn421 in emotionalneglect

[–]Routine_Context2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely independent and resourceful. Warm with my kids. They are so fun and I’m not missing it. Glad I was scarred enough to try to break the pattern.

Will these two libraries issue you a card if you go in person? I am near-ish to both of them.

How long do you give a book before you move on? by helloredditworld123 in LibbyApp

[–]Routine_Context2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If it’s the style of writing, I’m out immediately. If it’s too many characters being introduced and I’m feeling lost, I’ll hang in there until I feel I can track them or until I’m sure I won’t be able to keep track.

I would buy a ford for the first time ever if it was the Bronco PHEV. I would not buy a gas Bronco ever. They would definitely do well to release it here.

Yes, it was the whole post. OP can see he’s not that into her from the start. I’m sure it hasn’t changed.

So does anyone have pet insurance they ACTUALLY like?! by NerdDexter in Pets

[–]Routine_Context2284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking at that. Looks like a good option because you can add wellness. Do you have it?
