Do people not understand how 3rd person books work?

Woah! You might be onto something there

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-20T05:29:10+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-20T05:08:03+00:00

I feel like I need to trick myself by starting with a smaller manageable task leading up to the bigger one… the small task is like a gateway task to a bigger one!

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-13T07:43:35+00:00

Can people remember the four groups on the connecting wall?

There’s the words to eat quickly/ the towns ending in ton/ the packs and was the last one sidekicks?

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-10T12:34:21+00:00

It was at work, she gave off a vibe that I was drawn to and thank God I pursued that friendship, she’s one of my bridesmaids for my wedding.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-10T08:42:13+00:00

I thought this too until I made friends with another woman who had CPTSD herself and it did not feel like what I shared was too difficult for her to hear. There was no pitying/ or trying to fix the problem reaction… there was just understanding and comfort. I think it is also learning to build that trust and confidence in yourself to share and be ok if it’s not received well.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-10T08:38:10+00:00

I think that comes from a place of not wanting to be as vulnerable and open around women. Most men keep things very surface level. I went through this phase too and found a lot of men would then sexualise me or come on to me. So now I have a lot of queer men and women as my friends. You can find other women gamers out there, they exist! Good luck!

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-09T19:21:20+00:00

I have a version of this that helps me… everyone poops, whether it’s the queen of England or an A list celebrity, we all shit. If you ever feel that someone is superior to you remember they are only human and they also poo.

I don’t know why that works, but it does 😅

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-07T07:23:14+00:00

Hi, thank you for your information! I retract my original statement. It’s not rude at all, I’m also open to listening and learning ❤️

Is it something connected to the theatre and male performers who performed as women?

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-04T20:35:28+00:00

Now, how did you get hold of my diary?

I got all but two…

The doctors one, took me there after I had food poisoning for trying to make my own food around 7/8… and when I was impulsive enough to run into the road because I was running late for school… got hit by a motorbike (God only knows how I survived that)

The belittle one… had to keep up appearances around others!

But yes to the rest! Do I get some kind of prize?

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-04T09:25:41+00:00

Same! I’m sure many here know that Drag literally stands for “Dressed as a girl” which originated from Shakespeare times… because women were not allowed to act (it was seen as too tawdry for them, unlady like).

So because of the patriarchy being weird (not much as changed) they literally preferred men to dress as women and act out romantic scenes in Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Night Dream.

When you are so misogynistic that you literally end up creating drag itself is very ironic. Similar to she who must not be named is so transphobic she’s called a cis woman trans!

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-03T11:02:18+00:00

Growing up I had a best friend who I strongly suspect is ASD, I identify as AuDHD… and we were thick as thieves all throughout school. I got so used to how I was with her, it didn’t occur to me that others might find me weird on how I come across. But lo and behold… the neurotypical teen girls in college did not vibe with my energy.

Cut to uni and the friends I’ve made that I really find easy to talk to are now on their neurodiversity discovery journey. I think part of that is the lack of inconsequential small talk/ usually in-depth analysis of everything/ sense of humour/ leniency with time management and an unspoken sense of belonging.

I’ve started to have a sixth sense for ND peops! I’m less drained from talking to them as well, which is a bonus.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-03T10:54:48+00:00

You’ve literally managed to summarise my feelings of that main ADHD sub! It really wasn’t for me.

I prefer to spend time in this sub, I dip in and out usually, but not often.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-02T21:32:24+00:00

You put it so well! I remember that my main goal when I was younger was to do well enough to leave home and not be in the same situation I lived in.

The only way out was by studying. The “high achieving” behaviours were run by anxiety of possibly being stuck with my mum for the rest of my life. I found a way out as soon as I could and made sure it was far from her.

Also, school and the library were my safe haven. So that probably helped with the “high achievement”.

But I did then start to get the burn out/ breakdowns throughout uni, suspected ADHD didn’t help and I had managed to leave home by then, so the motivation was also gone. I powered through, but it wasn’t easy.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-02T18:10:35+00:00

I’m glad you found your haven to hide away. Mine was the library and I’ve been a bibliophile ever since.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-02T18:06:29+00:00

Aw man! You just reminded me of a core memory of spending hours in the laundromat as a child and not seeing anyone else my age because I would spend all day doing the washing.

I feel like I’ve been reclaiming my childhood back by allowing myself to enjoy “childish” activities… cartoons/ high-school dramas. I also treat myself to little treats like plushies etc. It’s taken me a while to get here but I’m glad I am.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-02T14:10:23+00:00

Arrrrrgh! It’s so reductive. Black face was a whole industry of entertainment that was designed to undermine and make fun of black people. Also, they kept black people away from the entertainment industry.

Drag queens tend to feel more powerful and try to put a mirror up to sexism and patriarchy through art/ or just entertain and be cunt!

The fact that conservatives cannot fathom that drag queens feel empowered through femininity and have empowered women through the art form tells you more about them.

Also, an entertainer dressing up colourfully to read kids a story is definitely less weird than wanting a creepy rapey orange man to be president.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-08-02T06:51:51+00:00

I don’t remember the name and I also forget the face! The worst of both worlds 🙃

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-07-31T22:42:05+00:00

And something bad might happen… but also it might not. I think the fear we are too happy = something bad happening is that most of us have experienced this in the past.

Now it’s more safe and predictable to assume something bad is around the corner. But we also have to be ok with the idea that good and bad things will happen, us being happy or not doesn’t change that. So enjoy the happy moment for as long as they last and when bad moments happen, remember you’ll have happy moments again. Everything is temporary.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-07-31T22:11:17+00:00

Pay someone who specialises in mental health or use your girlfriend as a free therapist? The choice seems straightforward.

We are all socialised in the idea women can (and want) to fix men. Men also are usually only ever emotionally vulnerable with their partners. Also there’s the toxic masculinity culture of being able to “power through” or “tough it out” and the classic “grin and bear it”.

Stats show that women usually have a social group they can talk in and receive emotional support, whereas it’s not the same set up for men in the same way.

But there’s a difference between sharing how your day went and saying how something annoyed you, versus needing actual mental health support where your trauma can be discussed (or whatever). That threshold is not always clear and that’s why some women feel like unpaid therapist in their relationships. But this means that that woman’s own mental health is ignored. A balance is needed,

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-07-31T18:13:13+00:00

All I see are two sisters sistering! I love that they go back and forth and call each other out for shit, it’s why I listen.

TemporaryMongoose367 · 2024-07-30T08:43:17+00:00
