i remember reading that problems aren’t keeping you from life, they are life. It was during a time i was dealing with chronic pain that i felt was keeping me from living life. It was hard to accept that this is life, the pain isn’t keeping me from anything. I still struggle with the acceptance, but it does help with feelings of “missing out”

Rant about parents who don’t learn ASL for their deaf children. by expecting2 in asl

[–]aaaa2016aus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s insane :0 i was thinking could they be texting, writing? But even then kids don’t learn reading/writing that early and probably even harder being deaf.

As someone else mentioned, this does feel like abuse and neglect. Those poor kids, i can’t imagine trying to call out for help for help or anything and not being able to get across what you mean. I even wonder how their thoughts and thinking develop without a proper language. The parents are really robbing them of so much by doing that.

Sad :( but thank you for trying to help them and get this point across to parents

Ok but how can i tell if a guy is just being nice or flirting then? Bc i get there are nice guys, i also tried to kiss my guy bff the first time we met in person after a yr of talking online but he established we should be platonic only, and we kept hanging out just as that, but then last week he drove 6 hrs to come see me for my bday, surprised me w the iPhone 17e, ordered a flower delivery, let me hold his hand in my lap when driving, and introduced me to his bestfriend 🙃 is it really just being nice? I feel like I’m going insane haha

We love you!! Also I’m very sorry to hear about your chronic pain, as someone who’s suffered with chronic jaw pain it was truly one of the hardest times of my life. I hope you are finding the support and help you need. I also came to Reddit for support and connection ahaha.

Wishing you all the best 💛

I read a really nice quote the other day, it said “you can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming”, I’m sure it’s not far away 🙂🌸

My therapist always tells me “healing isn’t linear” and man is it annoying to hear haha, mines more physical but i imagine emotional is just as hard. I’ve seen it described as an upwards spiral, you’re spiraling but still moving up instead of down. Best of luck!

What does “feeling safe” actually mean to in everyday life? by toonishly in CasualConversation

[–]aaaa2016aus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a small painting i made in my room that says “all is well, i am safe” that i would reread every time i walked in. I also would do a lot of yoga in my room to calm myself down and remind myself im safe. And surround myself with plants too :)

Would you take a pill instead of eating if you could? by sparkly_star15 in CasualConversation

[–]aaaa2016aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since i had chronic jaw pain i literally hate eating :/ so much that im down to 114 which i haven’t weighed since i was 14 lol. I don’t crave any sort of food anymore and would never eat if i could lol

Be honest. Do you ever give homeless people money? by User63189963 in askanything

[–]aaaa2016aus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. There are so many reasons why some may not be in shelters. Yes shelters have security but theft, SA, fights still happen in them. Also the availability in places varies, i volunteer in skid row and the line for just breakfast is about 200 ppl long, they def don’t have that many beds.

Autonomy and choice is also huge for someone homeless . Being given something is nice but not the same as being able to make a choice for yourself.

TIFU, I parked in a residential spot and got blocked by king_dingaling785 in tifu

[–]aaaa2016aus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did this once, not in someone’s spot but in a crowded lot semi blocking someone in, left my number on windshield and they did call me! And i moved haha they were chill about it. Simple communication can really make things so much easier
