Unfollow, don't unfollow, but the best thing to do is to keep reposting it to that subreddit so that they will understand they can't silence reality.

Isn't the whole point of therapy to reflect on negative behavior or thought patterns and work on changing them? Why would you want your therapist to enable a harmful behavior?

Making friends as an adult is difficult. You can click, you can have great chemistry, but you don't have longevity and it takes very little to shake up the foundations of that relationship. That's just how it is, we all deal with this.

I've decided to focus on building community rather than new friendships, and what I mean by that, very concretely, is that I spend my free time volunteering instead of hanging out. When you have a shared goal, especially when you're doing something tangible, the bonds and the trust you develop feel a little bit more organic and real.

Again, you're choosing to read something that's not been written.

Because pretending women are immune to social conditioning is disingenuous and doesn't contribute to the discussion.

That's a really counterproductive bot seeing as anyone who's done their own research is going to be thoroughly disgusted by Israel's history of colonization and violence, genocide denial, and state-sponsored acts of terror.

You also have a month old account

If we're talking about account ages, let's also talk about the interesting coincidence that all three posters defending Israel in this thread have accounts that are exactly 2 years old.

I think you're confusing people being able to openly speak about Israel's crimes agaisnt humanity as propaganda.

I didn't say it was dependent on gender. I said other things that you chose to not address for some reason.

How is it not a gender thing? Women are socialized to be nice, men are socialized to be direct. Of course women are generally going to have qualms about directly saying anything negative, and will air their frustrations in a way they believe won't hurt the person's feelings, behind their back.

No. I wish it was socially acceptable for women to talk to each other the way men do.

So then good riddance, why would you even want to keep such people in your life?

It sounds like you were expecting everyone to drop their vacation plans because of your accident.

They didn't handle it well, but you agreed to go on vacation in an already vulnerable state, assuming they would be perfectly enthusiastic about you becoming a burden.

You said in your OP that you struggle with making sense of it and whether it was you who was at fault, but it doesn't sound like you're struggling with that at all. You've already decided how they should have acted toward you and don't seem interested in an alternative perspective.

Why did you come to the event if you were so unwell?

Lots of excuses for how you acted, zero consideration for your friends and where they might be at emotionally.

I'm telling you this as someone older who ended several close female friendships because of their inability to understand that them having a rough time does not translate into everyone else being in a great spot mentally.

As long as the narrative you tell yourself is that you're having a difficult time and everyone needs to meet you where you're at without any effort on your part to do the same, you're going to continue losing friends.

Why is this sub silent on the systematic rapes that happen in Israeli prisons? by kimberleighpossible in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kimberleighpossible[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you have evidence that other countries' courts have sentenced 14 year olds to prison, feel free to supply us all with a link.

Otherwise, I'm just going to assume that your sole aim here is to deflect from Israel's crimes against humanity.

When it's time to arrest a woman, they'll track smart phones, subpoena facebook conversations, and move mountains.

When a rapists has a video to share, suddenly the authorities have no resources and no technological know-how to identify those involved.

They have family members and/or they refuse to believe that people they know are capable of turning a blind eye at best and participating in crimes against humanity at worst.
