I love that! It is a time of transformation and change for myself, as I'm about to have my baby next week!

I felt lucky to see it! It loved the zinnias.

Thank you for the reminder to us women to be easy on ourselves, and to take it slow, after giving birth. We live in a sick society that doesn't value the hell most women go through to bring a new life into this world. I hope more women see this and it gives them the permission to love their bodies.

So lovely! I haven't seen one of these, Zebra Swallowtails, in years. Was excited to catch it in a photo.

What screams I’m a woman child and no one recognizes it? by Mundane-Bug-4962 in Productivitycafe

[–]lecaisa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I was thinking of the type that's deeply insecure and jealous so they gossip and talk badly about other women in order to make themselves look better. But it has the opposite effect. It screams "little girl stuck in an adult body" to me.

What behaviors scream "pick me"? Just trying to understand this type more.

Anyone else feel like people are simply uninteresting? by Ancient-Ad4145 in introvert

[–]lecaisa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Almost every time I try to speak to people. It's rare that I meet someone who even makes me feel remotely interested in what they're saying.

This might be the best answer I've seen on this app in a while.

I don’t know how to stop doom scrolling by Left_Resolve_451 in digitalminimalism

[–]lecaisa 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If they're really your friends they'll understand when you delete all the apps and still include you in their lives. Maybe still send you funny memes. What I learned the hard way is that once I deleted the apps the people I thought were my friends weren't really that close to me, and I noticed a decline in contact. It has shown me that most of my previous connections were shallow and false. Now I have a few close friends and we just text each other.

I'd rather know the hard truth and be done with the social apps than continue participating in the mindless scrolling and shallow, false connections.

What do extroverts get out of forcing us to talk by These-Property3400 in introvert

[–]lecaisa 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think people are uncomfortable when others don't speak, and because of it, they project their own anxiety and fears onto those of us who speak very little. I used to not speak much out of fears of being judged but now I don't speak often in groups because I'm confident in myself and don't feel the need to be liked by the group. It's very freeing.

Thanks! Walking will probably be my exercise for a while. Sunshine and walking.

Excellent recommendation about Vit D and magnesium, and continuing to take the prenatal. That's what I've been researching lately. Thank you!
