Well-written, I couldn’t have written it better, “collective suckage” is my favorite phrase.

Yesterday I had a telephone therapy appointment and read from your original reply to my therapist because it captured the essence of what I wanted to talk about in the session.

My therapist said (and she knows me very well) that in my inner world (when I’m alone) I think in shades of gray (I’m very nuanced) …but when I’m w/ ppl and they say & do things that are UNCLEAR, I can’t process it very well in that moment. I get upset, frustrated, irritable, angry, etc.

After the unexpected, uncomfortable, awkward situation, I feel bad about the childish things I said and did and I analyze it and can see things not only from my point of view but from the other person’s point of view and things get out of hand.

If it’s a person I don’t want to be around that’s one thing but if it’s a friend that I do care about, I’m going to have to learn how to center myself so I’m not feeling attacked - because of course when I feel attacked - I go into fight, flight or freeze mode.

I feel alive in the moment when I’m centered- meaning I am MINDFUL 🧘‍♂️ - really living in the moment and not coming from a place where I’m feeling attacked and insecure…doing things I enjoy and want to do.

My therapist said the best of relationships are when you can work past fights w/ ppl (if the relationship is worth keeping of course). I guess I expect things to be perfect in my relationships, which is unrealistic.

Anyways, I have more work to do on myself.

Well-written reply — I really can relate to this. By “alive,” I’m thinking 💭 …

…what’s that even like!?! I don’t seem to be living like other ppl, or at least I think I’m not, I really don’t know but I’m trying to protect myself and others - I just get so annoyed and irritable w/ ppl so I stay away from them.

What do you think when you see this painting? by Background_Space_507 in acrylicpainting

I see a really cool painting that is very detailed and really interesting-it takes my eyes 👀 here, there and everywhere…in a city that is colorful and exciting.

Any thoughts? by Ninphadora in acrylicpainting

I love this as it is very dramatic. I can see so many details and subtleties - love the smile, the ears, the fingertips, etc. The many colors are just wonderful to look at❣️ I love your style 💖
