I can really relate to this behavior. Something I’m working on is making a request. It sounds crazy because it seems too easy but it’s actually really hard for me to do. Saying “I need you to X” feels so cringey for me but it helps. Listening to other people make loving requests helps me too ❤️
receiving this in my email without a trigger warning for sa and then vivividly describing a traumatic experience was incredibly jarring, triggering. it set me back a whole lot. the second paragraph could've better summarized what was actually going to be included.
This really resonated with me. Sometimes when you have been hurt for so long, you think- There's no way I am toxic one, and when you finally break the patterns, and date a healthy pattern, suddenly all these ugly parts of you come out.
I am totally guilty of this as well! Thank you for sharing.
This kind of vulnerable writing is so powerful—and so needed. As a queer, autistic adult deep in my own healing, seeing someone name their shadow with such clarity and care helps me soften toward my own.
It’s not easy to hold up the mirror and still offer yourself grace. Thank you for showing what that can look like. Subscribed with so much gratitude.

Hahaha! Found this funny cause I do this too even if it sooo illogical. 😬
