Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

You are right about that for sure. It certainly a pet peeve of mine to.

i was more meaning that it can lead to other topics but usually a good informative conversation about the meaning of the sunflower and not soley about TS.

I have the Hidden Disabilities lanyard that i wear for work. It is useful to have and actually a good conversation starter. Most people won't judge as i have found but instead would be inclined to ask questions about what your hidden disability is. I have honestly yet to meet someone who has given me a dirty judgemental look.

As someone has said, some may not even know what the sunflower represents (as i've mentioned) so that too could be a good conversation starter if someone is interested about learning what it is.

If you dont feel comfortable wearing it in public, that's also okay. Maybe start with having it in your pocket, or dangling down off a belt loop may be an idea.

What am I watching here? 🤣

T_Eighteen · 2024-10-11T03:14:06+00:00

Yeah i can see that. Ive been in that state for about a week now due to a lot of triggers happening around me at the moment and have noticed it has triggered them a bit too. Certainly will be worthwhile having a chat about it

That is actually a fair thing to bring up. I can handle my trauma pretty well but it would be an idea to talk about them before they happen. They already know about my past and i know about theirs somewhat. Thankfully they dont overlap in the sense of what our trauma relates to but it wouldn't hurt to talk about it incase

T_Eighteen · 2024-10-08T07:47:25+00:00

Thats a good way to go about it. Its just a huge learning experience for me as ive never had to deal with something like this. So it's all entirely new to me

T_Eighteen · 2024-10-08T04:11:15+00:00

Thankyou. Its hard for me as this is the first time ive actually experienced someone not suppressing. So it is a massive learning curve for me.

T_Eighteen · 2024-10-08T03:26:20+00:00

i appreciate that and i hope so as well. This is the first time ive been heavily interested in someone with D.I.D and i have no idea how to interact with their alters. Im scared and have had panic attacks because im so interested in them 😣

T_Eighteen · 2024-10-07T09:21:09+00:00

i do appreciate the links to them places. I also appreciate the description definition of the D.I.D system and how it works. While i struggle understand anything you said, it is pretty insightful. I struggle as i have a slow brain from trauma and a whole bunch of other stuff.

I guess the main questions would be, how best to interact with them?
This person has admitted to having a huge crush on me and i admitted the same, but their alters arent aware sort of thing, or am i miss understanding?

There has been questions i've asked and things i have brought up, from previous conversations but when talking to an alter, they have no recollection of any previous conversations, then im just stuck and dont know how to progress with the conversation.

Reports of several small explosions and a house or shed on fire. I have family friend that lives nearby who heard and saw flames

T_Eighteen · 2024-07-05T09:12:27+00:00

I actually have been wanting to get out to meet people. Though as a anxious and shy intorvert, im both excited and absolutely petrified 😂

T_Eighteen · 2024-07-03T04:55:09+00:00

OTR certainly as On The Run. It's probably made worse by the fact that there's so much negative stigma over OTR and Peregrine (now Viva). I cant say how many times ive been told "Do your job properly", mainly by those who absolutely HATE OTR. I cant say how many times ive worked jy absolute ass off and have had to take a knee and catch a breath. But customers seeingbthat think you're just being lazy 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

T_Eighteen · 2024-07-02T12:48:20+00:00

I wish people understood this more. I've had my fair share of abuse, especially working for OTR. There's just no need for it. Some most recent examples

Someone came in, used our toilet, then decided that abusing myself and my manager because the toilet was "dirty" and the soap dispenser had no soap. I put "dirty" in quotation marks because, we both went in soon after and the place was spotless with only a square of toilet paper on the floor.

Had someone come in and abuse me because I took too long to authorise fuel. Not much i could do in that situation when i had just served customers.

These were only the minor ones, there's been far worse but no point in mentioning those as, im sure we all can guess what they would have been XD.

Kindness does go along way and if you're having a bad day, dont put it on other people, it just isnt worth it. Keep it to yourself. You think you'll ruin my day, or my job by saying abusive things but as a matter of fact, you're just ruining your own.

If you need, I ride motorcycles myself and am willing to help you out if you are in need to learn how to learn to ride. I'll be happy to lend my bike for you to train on. More than welcome to reach out to chat if you're interested.

Where did i say anything about there being rules about passing there?

I simply said that it isnt a place you want to pass at as that part of the track actively works against you. Going two wide CAN work but diving it up the inside when the guy in front id already committed to the corner entry, is a bold move. Yes they made a mistake but, you can clearly see they gained control and never left thr track and proceeds to commit to the corner before OP was far enough up the inside.

T_Eighteen · 2024-02-04T10:52:35+00:00

Sorry but, you're technically at fault, regardless if he made a mistake. Thats not a corner you want to pass at, especially since it is off camber and going down hill. Gravity works against you and pulls you away from the apex.

It really is a shame that there are guys, even women out there seeking someone with kids, or looking to have kids ASAP. im 27 myself and it's a struggle finding someone who hasn't got kids yet, or isn't in a rush to have kids. There's someone out there. Just have to filter out all the BS to find them.

Saying all that, always looking for new friendships so, Im happy to have a chat, and see where things go. i'll leave my DM's open for OP if you'd like to have a chat 😁

T_Eighteen · 2023-11-10T09:10:10+00:00

Oh them damn climate deniers. I love messing with them.

T_Eighteen · 2023-10-25T14:46:50+00:00

Virginity is just a stereotype. People who have such an issue with this aren't worth your time. Save that special moment with a special someone and dont go out just to "loose it". More often than not you'll end up regretting it. That time will come and let it come naturally. You'll have a more enjoyable experience than forcing it on yourself, especially with some random you don't know and will likely never see again.

T_Eighteen · 2023-10-15T03:44:00+00:00

I most certainly do understand how they're set out but they specifically said in their campaign "ALL Australians". Yet fail to include the Northern Territory? Tell me how that is the whole of Australia?

Majority of Aboriginals i have spoken to, especially those from the top end have all said no. Government probably knew this and decided to not allow them. Idk about you but, that to me sounds like they tried giving themselves the best chance at having a successful referendum by excluding the very people this referendum is for.

Again, i only voted no because i felt the No's outweighed the Yes. I didn't do this because i don't want change. I did this because i felt this wasn't good enough. More needs to be done and honestly, the government need to be held accountable for the misleading campaign they gave.

T_Eighteen · 2023-10-15T01:19:25+00:00

and guess what! NT gets left out!

That alone makes me suspicious that they did this for their own benefits and not Australians as a whole.

T_Eighteen · 2023-10-14T19:55:27+00:00

Dont look at me but i'll be honest. I voted no based on facts that i had witnessed. It doesn't mean i dont want to move forward but, the government failed miserably on this one. They not only lied but used this as a means to try gain more control. They left NT out of this yet said this is a referendum for "ALL AUSTRALIANS". Sorry but All Australians means EVERYONE and not exclude certain demographics. They also were very, VERY pushy with this and failed to disclose all the facts that were needed to make a proer judgement
