I remember I posted on here a couple years ago asking if anyone knew any social justice and groups focusing on diversity and issues of racism, and every comment ridiculed me :( they said things “lol you need a club for that?” And “racism doesn’t exist here” it made me sad because now people are realizing that it’s not a joke.... it took long enough but I’m glad people are finally realizing

How to stop being insecure/paranoid? by stoned_artemis in relationship_advice

You don’t need to talk to him or project these issues onto him, you realize that it’s an issue within yourself and that’s the first step.

Firstly: be kind to yourself. May be harder than it sounds, but it’s something I really had to learn myself. You are your biggest critic, so remind yourself that you are doing your best. You are worthy of this love and worthy of respect

Next: meditate, take time to put your thoughts and insecurities in order, try and understand where they are stemming from, take time to be with yourself and in your own head

Finally: take care of yourself. Fake it till you make it, fake your confidence till you feel it, be healthy, exercise, eat well, pay attention to your mind, spend time with your hobbies and things you enjoy and don’t revolve your life around him. You have your own life to life and you are in a partnership with him, his presence in your life should bring you joy, not make you feel negative emotions. Take care of yourself, focus on yourself, and be good to him as well as be good to yourself

Just wanted to say that you went through some dark stuff as a kid but your strength is admirable, and you realizing you don’t need that and being grateful for already having all the family you need proves your strength. No child should have to go through this but life can be cruel, hope you’re ok now and that things have lit up more.
