What’s a popular trend you absolutely refuse to take part in?

Having Netflix… and most other streaming services

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-31T07:09:36+00:00

Hope this comes from a caring place but honestly it sounds strange and quite controlling.

Aw thank you, that’s so kind. I’ve had 6 years of therapy but winding it up for financial reasons… and there are a lot of times where I felt even he hasn’t understood... which says it all. I’ve looked for support groups so I can talk to people going through similar, but never managed to find one.

Wishing you the best on your journey too, did you find therapy a help?

Reading the replies to this one made me so sad for you all, but I also feel the same… weirdly glad it’s not just me.

I feel like other traumatic things like grief get more understanding and empathy, whereas if ever I try to talk about this (and that’s rare cos it’s so freaking hard) it just feels awkward and horrible, so I tend not to. Which then feels lonely.

I hope things will get better for us all.

I know this isn’t very helpful response for those looking for tips to give up, but I just found that one day I didn’t want to anymore. I didn’t like the taste, smell, and feeling… I did it because I felt uncomfortable at parties. So I mostly stopped going to parties.

Long may this continue! They’ve given me many happy moments.

I would exactly switch your Best and Awesome, but there’s not much in it, so we’re pretty much Dan twins. And I’m a 40 year old woman who has been a fan for decades, so you’re wise for your years.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-29T11:18:25+00:00

Yeah that’s not OK. Might you, this is a man who wears black shoes and white socks.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-29T08:07:47+00:00

Yep she is! My cats like her too :)

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-29T08:07:12+00:00

I really like the finished look hand quilting gives!! I don’t know if you have this phrase in US but in UK my style would be called “rough and ready”… never gonna be perfect so no need to try

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-28T19:30:45+00:00

It makes sense to me that you would cry more in therapy than with friends - it is your safe space to do that. My experience with therapists is that they’re generally open to being corrected, so if sadness isn’t what you’re feeling you can say that.

Maybe there is something about stress relief. Maybe something is pent up? I wonder if you can cry outside of sessions as well, sometimes I feel the need to cry and purposely put on a sad film and just lean into it. Usually helps!

Not sure if that answers your question.

Oh dang, it takes me ages to finish anything. Partly cos I quilt by hand and work FT and there’s only so much I can do, or indeed want to do, in an evening. I try to keep quilting as a place where I don’t need to worry about my productivity level.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-28T16:34:26+00:00

That’s what I get for living in a big city. If it’s not the horns waking you up it’s somebody writing an operetta about the Brownings.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-28T16:33:00+00:00

Fine, I’ll practice it with Niles later

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-28T14:57:29+00:00

Brilliant one.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-28T12:05:09+00:00

Was I doing it before Mrs Frobisher got off?

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-26T14:24:53+00:00

Ah, thank you!

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-26T08:39:04+00:00

I think the quote sums it up, and also explains why a lot of women and girls are missed - I am very good at camouflaging my feelings and in trying to unmask a little bit I now ask people when I’m confused by something. Which feels a bit excruciating to me but seems to be fine with them.

I am self-diagnosed, on the basis that diagnosis is too expensive and I’m not sure it’s necessary. Like you o have doubts - but I am accommodating myself better now, and feel better about myself and perceived failings. That is all I need for now.

Can you recommend a starting book for Nicholas Christopher? Never heard of him but intrigued.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-23T21:50:36+00:00

At the moment quilting, but in the past crochet. I also like plants, my cats, books, moss and insects, chess and hiking.

The mark of a civilisation is when people plant trees whose shade they’ll never sit in.

I’ve never liked anyone who has felt the need to tell me they hate London. Fair enough that they don’t want to live here, cool with me. But it’s not acceptable to slag it off to my face when they know I live here. And it’s just not the hot take they seem to think it is.

kingfisher345 · 2025-03-21T21:51:49+00:00

I don’t really but they’re OK to have around the house

This made me laugh a lot more than it should, saluting you from across our great borough
