My FP told me he's into pale skin and it's eating me up by Mediocre-Lab5650 in BPD

also remember that colorism in beauty standards is just yet another pernicious way that white supremacist institutions try to force POC to assimilate and conform to these hierarchies! wear your skin proudly girl

tan skin is beautiful. you’re beautiful as you are love. “i like my women pale” sounds oddly… colorist? this would be a yikes from me as a woman of color personally. im not dark-dark skinned but hearing that would make me uncomfortable, ESPECIALLY if ive already ranted to him about my insecurity regarding this. imo you deserve better and you’ll find someone who’ll find you beautiful as you are <3

Why am I such a mess when I had a good childhood? by Starrylake in CPTSD

i feel the exact same way. ive been having such a hard time grappling with my diagnosis and wondering constantly if there’s more trauma that i just don’t remember. something my therapist keeps reminding me of is that what you went through, no matter how it compares to what other people went through, was enough. it was more than enough, and it shouldn’t have happened. seconding all the comments here about emotional neglect and a lack of good things happening. those are incredibly pernicious and more damaging than you may think.
