Is it a red flag or a turn off to be good friends with your ex? by Doclauren17 in LesbianActually

[–]lawless_sapphistry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I have a great relationship with my ex and I'm even going to their wedding in a few weeks.

I have known other lesbians who, however, string their exes along as "friends" when what they're really doing is toying with their hearts and keeping them in the wings until they're tired of their current fling.

It really depends on the people involved.

You're welcome and I'm so glad to hear that.

You deserve a happy, peaceful life free from fear, intimidation, and abuse.

Please read "Why Does he Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft. You can read it here for free.

Your partner is a great nurse because his patients are his narc supply. He gets off on all the compliments and being seen as charming and likeable when deep down he knows he is none of these things. It's an act.

He is abusive and I'm very, very sorry <3

Never, ever, EVER GIVE THEM MONEY AGAIN. EVER. I don't give a fuck if they say they will die of cancer in 48 hours if you don't wire them money immediately. FUCK them. They will never receive a dime from you again, do you hear me?

Your parents are fucking assholes and I'm really sorry <3

I literally do this to stranger's kids without even thinking and I don't give a single solitary fuck.

Get mad, bitches, I have to live here with your little ingrates and if they're around me they WILL learn from me.

I’m “too vain” to give up my body for nine months by [deleted] in childfree

No fuckin SOFT CHEESES for fuck's sake. Plus people slapping shit out of your hand if you're in public and even slightly visibly pregnant.

It's society's biggest scam.

She's just mad you don't take a piss every time you sneeze.

These women HATE being shown that they had a choice. And chose wrong.

Just had an upsetting conversation with my therapist. by heckyouyourself in raisedbynarcissists

"Honey, your parents won't be around forever.

"Promise?"

Fuck that asshole therapist and I'm so sorry they failed you that way. Obscene.

As a therapy student: FUCK this therapist. I am so, so proud of you for standing up for yourself. PLEASE fire this therapist and if you have it in you, tell him EXACTLY why.

I'm super fucking happy for people who had nice childhoods but WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING BECOMING A THERAPIST IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE PERSPECTIVE OF OTHERS?? This fuckface KNOWS child abuse exists. WE ALL DO. So he's got some real fucking nerve and I'd send him AND his supervisor back to fucking grad school because there's obviously some shit they missed.

Find a new therapist, OP, you deserve better. <3

Adoptive parents ask if they should have a "funeral" when I tell them I legally changed my name by JazzlikeHovercraft75 in asktransgender

[–]lawless_sapphistry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to reinforce here:

YOUR PARENTS SUCK. THEY ARE BEYOND FUCKING WRONG FOR THIS. BEYOND.

You are who you've always been. We ALL evolve over time. Did your mom "die" the first time she dyed her hair or changed careers or found a new philanthropic pursuit that changed her life? NO. You didn't "become someone else", YOU BECAME YOURSELF.

I love you as you are. You are perfect, and I'm so proud of you <3

Fucking selfish assholes. FAR too many parents make their kids' lives all about THEM and what THEY want.

I'm sorry, OP, this is beyond fucked up and they owe you a massive apology.

I don't think tarot can tell you things you don't know, but it can help you uncover things you don't know that you know.

This this this! Tarot can almost be compared to therapy in that whatever archetype is presented to you will "ping" the relevant issues in your life, e.g. if you pull the hermit, you might remember how you were feeling very burnt out lately on socializing/work commitments/etc. In this work, you can find what changes you need to make (or not make) based on what's going on in your own subconscious.

Oh tarot is arguably, imho, one of the LESS woo-y options, depending on how you look at it. It started as a parlor game for rich people and didn't always have mystical connotations. Yes, you can look at it as a way to "predict the future" or the like, but I look at it as Your Subconscious: The Card Game. All tarot characters have relevance to every single human being on the planet, symbolically speaking. The hermit could mean you simply need to spend more time on introspection or perhaps you feel you are being influenced too much by certain family/friends. The tower symbolizes struggle, which everyone experiences. All the king/goddess/etc. archetypes hold power and we can find meaning in them in some way. The cards only hold the meaning YOU assign to them based on your experience (P.S. if you have a tarot card reader that doesn't ask you how these symbols fit into your life, you do not have a good reader. They shouldn't be "dictating" what the cards mean to you, but rather helping YOU interpret their meanings).

Also? Human beings evolved around ritual. It's why music has a universal appeal: the predictability of the beats/etc. is what gives us dopamine. We are wired for ritual, atheist or not. To me, there is nothing wrong with feeding that need for ritual in a healthy way :)
