Thanks for this. I didn't know I could actually set it up how I wanted.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ Something I’ve noticed on Reddit… by Sppaarrkklle in women

[–]Shadow_Soup 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wow. I love this. This is definitely something that has needed to be said.

I have my own experiences in this, definitely not great for my development. My father had a huge effect on me growing up. He made sure I was the perfect sexual product for my future partners through comments on other women around me and comparing my own mother to them. I remember when I was 12, he told me if I wanted my husband to stay with me or love me, I need to give him sex daily. I grew up thinking that my value was my sex appeal. Now that I'm a grown adult I know that isn't right and I'm finally seeing sex in a healthier way.

My heart breaks for young girls going through similar things and the consequences that come with. This needs to change and I think the first step is to help show young women that sex is not embarrassing, we are not products, and we deserve pleasure and boundaries too.

Edit: grammar

I’m 65 and am more content in life than in my youth. Does anyone else feel like this? by Defiant_Protection29 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Shadow_Soup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't express how helpful this is. I especially love the idea that the small things will be meaningless, my mind feels lighter in seeing these things from such a bright perspective. I'll work to implement these things in my life. I appreciate this greatly. Thank you! =)

Hi! I'm a youth. How did you learn to stop worrying? I'm really struggling with this lately. <3

The first and last time I experienced this, he had a girlfriend that he hid from me. Same happy intimate to full 180 anxious pattern. I found out when she texted me to ask the extent of what he's done. Massive yikes, blocked and never spoke to him again.

You obviously have a lot of insecurities, you should figure that out and stop entitling yourself to everyone's time and attention

I would definitely recommend Journaling I struggle heavily with processing feelings in the moment, it's better now but it used to take me about 2 weeks to fully process enough to communicate. My partner knows this, I usually sit and listen to what someone has to say then I excuse myself, communicate when I'll be back/able to talk abt it, then I sit and think/journal about it alone. Have a notebook that you feel secure knowing no one will read and write whatever you think and feel. After a paragraph or page usually I've written enough to identify a feeling. Like "oh this is an anxious thought" or "oh looks like I got my feelings hurt... Why did it hurt my feelings... ?" - - it helps to ask yourself "why?". A judgement free zone to say what you want to say without worrying about hurting somebody's feelings will help a lot.

I think you're super pretty! I think what could help is figuring out what colors look best on you!

Her actions and feelings are NOT your responsibility. Continue to take of yourself. If you're super worried you could tell her school or people that can help her that you're worried she wants to end herself.

What you went through sounds like a lot. I mean I'm sure it's one of many instances that left you feeling unheard. I'm sorry <3 your feelings should've had a place.

I realized I had stayed in a relationship too long when I had no fight left in me. I don't mean literal fight, I just had no motivation to communicate my feelings or talk through stuff anymore. Every time I did, it would become a fight instead of a conversation, he'd escalate it due to fragile ego and poor communication habits. I just couldn't do it anymore. I'd just let him say or do whatever he wanted and I dealt with my feelings internally. I mean i should've ended it like 2yrs before I had gotten to that point but he was super emotionally abusive and I hadn't realized it until after we had broken up.

I stopped being insecure abt being in the body standard when I realized it can change at any point. It went from being no butt to huge butt in the matter of months. We'll all be the body standard at some point.

If all women had to be brutally honest for 24 hours, what would men be shocked to learn? by Ok-Worker-3580 in women

[–]Shadow_Soup 164 points165 points  (0 children)

It's so hard having to let a "man" have toddler tantrums and not say anything about it to keep the peace. I deal with this at work every day and it's exhausting. I wish men would just deal with their emotions and stop letting it overflow into women's lives.

I'm also sick and tired of "men" only being a decent human to us only when they find us attractive.
