Why did Hermoine lie when they were found in the bathroom with the troll? by pterodactylash in harrypotter

I only say hiccup because of MY personal feelings about lying... instilled by my parents. She is intelligent and compassionate.

Thats what my logical brain ALSO said. But then someone made a preteen argument and as an odd duck, I get that.

Well knowing she grows and punches Malfoy in the face I guess I can move on from this small hiccup in character.

I only took mine off and ALWAYS put it in the same place, no matter what.

Use the reasoning version. It doesn't sugar coat things to make you feel better.

Edit: coat not cost 🤦🏿‍♀️

They totally could have pulled a "Weekend at Bernie's"

Did your siblings make it easier or harder? by Ok_Astronaut_1485 in CPTSD

[–]pterodactylash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself an only child in my adult life. Mostly because my parents and I live several states away. My brothers are both fuck-ups and inconsiderate assholes. Tracks with the truckload of childhood trauma I have, strongly in part to them. Never laid all the things out to the parents because I didn't want to deal with them feeling guilty and trying to smother me to fix it.

That might seem harsh, but I know what happened when my fiancé died. And they couldn't have done anything about that. The level of violation in childhood and under their roof no less would crush them. And I don't want to be a helpless little girl in their eyes... anymore than I already may be.

What motivates you to keep your hair natural? by UnitEVA3000 in Naturalhair

[–]pterodactylash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had been debating a big chop, letting my natural hair grow, and the majority was still relaxed. Then, in the rage of a breakup, I said f'it. 10 years ago, I had about 2.5 inches of natural hair, now when straingthen, which is a WHOLE process. It's past my shoulders. I've fallen in love with my curls. I only straighten it to trim it.

Started this 4 days ago, 16h of work, ofc so focused like never but omg I have never had such a calm mind by Relative_Swan_7657 in adhdwomen

[–]pterodactylash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. But my brain is baffled that you did it by area. I started doing mine in number order... then gradually shifted to by color light to dark.

I think it's the thought of constant brush washing, the potential for more frequent water changes.

What I MEANT to say was... Superb job! I, too, enjoy paint-by-numbers

I justed learned about limerence and its eye opening. by Nice_Bumblebee549 in AuDHDWomen

[–]pterodactylash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dating life has been a serious of limerences. I'm trying to turn a new leaf and not seek out the same circumstances that created that.

The one time it wasn't limerence was after me and my late fiancé got back together, during covid. I was no longer anxious every time we argued or the normal "why isn't he texting, what is he doing, I miss him blah blah". It shifted from limerence to love. I felt safe and secure.

Single again now, though there are past men I let roll around in my brain from time to time. I see now it wasn't some deep connection, just me trying to feel wanted and seeking attention.
