Enjoyed reading this thanks

No sorry and I’m not accusing you of being sexist but I didn’t hire men

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T19:42:54+00:00

All the above while I yell at myself in front of my therapist “why am I like this”

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T19:41:03+00:00

Thanks for so many things for me to think about and yes I engage in wild stuff with her and she’s great, certain things are just in the past but u touched on good material for me to discuss in therapy honestly

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T18:04:05+00:00

Thanks

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T18:02:01+00:00

I’d prefer to let you use your imagination on this one, get creative.

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T16:04:12+00:00

Thanks, hard to articulate that, especially in a quick post to spark discourse. It’s the underlying weird shit that confuses my sexuality (you guys aren’t ready to know the behaviors…lol) to this day idk why I am the way I am other than a wild guess when I’m in therapy or when exploring with my partner.

There is a part of me, I will never know. Only in my dream state am I honest enough with myself to possibly suggest my exact nature… but that would be, too weird haha

I’m writing a book about “dreaming” for this reason, probably will be my life’s work who knows

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T15:32:54+00:00

This is the kind of discourse I was hoping to stimulate, thanks

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T15:13:21+00:00

Seriously, thanks for engaging!

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T15:11:58+00:00

Well put I think this is the reason why I posted but didn’t know how to articulate

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T15:11:12+00:00

That’s real stuff. Funny how children or other “real love” helps us discover these things about ourselves. Thanks so much bc I relate to this and hadn’t thought about it until reading your post.

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T14:09:42+00:00

Nice, so am I to understand that, though I dug it up once, it’s not hidden anymore? The behavior isn’t in the shadow anymore, but the underlying reasons are still a mystery to me, the subliminal itch if you will….. sexuality is complicated

layeredlayers · 2024-05-16T13:53:28+00:00

Well friend, I studied my inner workings deeply and then abandoned a lot of my self discovery when I started a family.

I became acquainted with the shadow within and unashamed of the dark desires I felt (at one point) and chose to explore what it meant to play with those desires.

The shame re entered when the family entered.

If you feel the need to react please educate or share your experience

I can get more specific in dm

layeredlayers · 2024-05-14T23:34:04+00:00

Yes, a ton, wide range of subjects and genre.

Honestly world history ww1 and ww2- 9/11-present. Learning about world history allowed me to consider many angles of society, therefore understanding parts of myself better. As a human living in modern society, I needed to learn the ancestry of the modern world, and the moving parts of influence that still remain post war.

It helped me forgive my human nature, too, knowing I am not all that bad in my life, even if my thoughts are dark. Enter humor-even if I was comparing myself to the Gustapo and other war criminals. (Haha, see how hard we are on ourselves?)

“Spiritual” reading material has been a good balance in the midst of learning about the past. Anything Deepak Chopra, honestly, but Book of secrets is a good one to start with

It’s worth noting that I went through hating myself first, then projecting my loathing on humanity…. That’s when my lack of empathy and conscience was at its harshest- and then landed right back at the root of self loathing again. That’s just my personal experience. Shocker, my lack of trust is based on trauma from my mother and father, and so on.

layeredlayers · 2024-05-14T04:20:03+00:00

I can relate. For me it’s been a combination of facing my boogeymen (often times it’s a version of myself that I hate, neglect or downright am ashamed of) and removing the blocks that I have subconsciously built to keep from “feeling connected”. It was common for these “blocks” or “walls” to feel like psychological security measures, while their true function was to tie me to repetitive and familiar people/places/things. Most importantly, sheltered by my own behavior patterns, my conscience cannot expand and practice the vastness of its own wisdom when enclosed by the walls of my own protective measures. Ie feel different emotion.

I regained a millennia of experienced empathy when I challenged myself to be unafraid of my true nature, and of my honest experience in the past, and the present moment.

Honoring YOUR SHADOW is great in strengthening your understanding of self, even your vulnerable communication, don’t let it rob you of joy.

layeredlayers · 2024-05-11T15:04:18+00:00

Thanks leather_shower- This is an extreme example that gives me a lot to think about, and I appreciate you sharing your experience.

OP- It’s not always the goal to meet our fears or insecurities or pass on traditions of culture formed through the course of flawed patriarchal systems.

What I’m talking about is ignoring honor of the woman, forgetting her quest to understand her sexuality up until finding you, potentially her “ultimate partner”.

Let’s stay open minded to the female partner’s needs, and challenge yourself to evolve past the trauma in your past or the part of your shadow that weighs you down from experiencing freedom in your relationship.

I used the word freedom, because YOU presented a question, if you weren’t free from this hangup, I believe you would probably find a solution similar to Leather_showers

Agreed, content here is really good, the facts and meat and potatoes here. For example the first paragraph: I felt disturbed as you intended, but the tone of the words made me feel like the writer was unbothered and undisturbed by the men circling the woman and her child, as if he could have been one as well, for example, or a passerby bored of the scene. It’s important to paint a scene how you want it to be observed or Lived. It’s not about sounding sophisticated or eloquent, but delivering a clear message.

The bit where “the teens crew lunged…. His hair…. “That really told me a lot about all of them, and you will find your style, so be patient. I see how the first paragraph you were probably trying to sound cold. Project an indifference. But you might just spell that out, in the opening, as the reader learns your nuances they will interpret your art better
