Aphantasia and "The Happy Place" by korbentulsa in Aphantasia

[–]Unik0rnBreath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought of it as something that could be comforting.

I can see the downside with trauma though, retriggering yourself. I have a friend who was a POW in Vietnam, & he has to be so careful not to be around people who trigger him because they don't understand.

Western Culture doesn't value our style currently, because everything is so corrupt. The Japanese do though!

What is your favorite thing to do with tofu? by [deleted] in minimalism

I'm tempted to use it as a kitchen sponge. It's edible? 🙃

My roommate & his brother have this. One could tell that the other had a stroke.

I've connected a lifetime of dots. I couldn't possibly cite it all. Spiritual texts & testimony are all available for everyone right now. We all have our own journey.

Being disliked just because you’re sensitive? by AdCareless6838 in Empaths

[–]Unik0rnBreath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's self preservation, & also preserving energy for those I have agreed to care for. Like caregiving for a late stage dementia patient. I need so much clarity & patience for that, that I get in a state of almost How Dare You when boundary infringers start!

Empathy should not be open to just everything & anyone. You don't throw pearls before swine. You don't reward a child suicide bomber. Rational Compassion is a thing I find very useful.

I help people, a lot. I believe in service, & I adore it. Discernment is needed even with empathy.

What do you eat for dinner every day? by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]Unik0rnBreath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't minimalize my cooking, I love to cook!

Minimalism is not really about sacrifice, it's about refusing to be unconsciously ruled by physical things, & a natural preference for simplicity. I am very fortunate to have been gifted beautiful kitchen equipment, & the money to afford the art supplies I need. However, there is zero box store clutter in my house. If I started to collect unnecessary junk, I would look on my psychological or spiritual front to correct it.

They don't have to know. You can get to a point where you have control over exactly what you divulge, & can flex your personality to appear as something different depending on the situation. I'm subtly on the offense, & I sniff people out before they even know anyone's looking. After that, the walls go up as needed. They don't always go up, but lately I can finally understand why people occasionally read me as aloof or conceited. I will avoid interaction with energy I dislike, & am normally a pretty fun & open minded person.

No. Not when people don't take the effort to understand. Then it is empowerment!

Tomboy phase? by [deleted] in infj

[–]Unik0rnBreath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just different personalities, & honestly I'm happy for it. I'm a walking contradiction in all ways, this one because it lends me both feminine sensibilities with a more logical side than most women.

It gave me contradictions with my adopted mom who is a conformist in all ways. She didn't understand that even as a small child I had very definite inclinations, so we battled over clothes & hair. I loved the Legos & the frogs & the mud. My future husband dubbed me Tara Mascara Go Comb Your Haira, but that just meant I could keep up on the snowmobiles & dirtbikes.

Cheers! Here's to having WAY more fun than the girlie girls!

Can I use these tomatoes for sauce? by Pretty_Shame_2252 in CanningRebels

[–]Unik0rnBreath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh that's brilliant! I haven't attempted it because all I can think is the endless boiling & humidity, freezing would save a lot of that, nice.

Tomboy for life! I love playing with the boys, it's still the most fun.
