Flirted with two guys separately and then found out they are best friends and they sent me a selfie of them together with no caption so I just sent back a voice note of me making train noises. Ball up top.

The hardest part of being a parent to small children for me is the dumb questions. And it makes me feel like a monster but my kid asked why he couldn’t take a vase to daycare and I said “it’s glass you can’t” and he said “what if a wizard made it not glass” get out of my face.

Had a table of middle aged men that asked me my secret for my good skin and I said I was a vampire and then for the next 4 hours they acted like I was a standup comedian when I acted like a vampire and said generic lore as they interviewed me. It was like showing a caveman fire.

I hate being someone who has been chronically depressed my entire life because at this point it’s just annoying and feels juvenile to spend weeks of my life consumed by the scaries again like “oh no I wanna die again” ok bitch grow up.

I am a firm believer that the only way to make life bearable is to flirt with everyone you encounter male or female, interested or not. Flirting doesn’t have to go further. It’s just fun to talk all whimsical and have banter with people. It gives your day razzle dazzle.

I can’t believe I was in such an abusive relationship that I stopped using social media and downloaded candy crush instead and then my ex wouldn’t stop going through my candy crush and sneaking up on me to “catch me cheating with candy crush”. I should’ve turned into the joker.

I think men with foot fetishes are the true lovers of the world. People hate on them. But if a man likes feet he tends to actually admire women I’ve noticed. I will not be silenced. Get behind me toe suckers, mommy will protect you.

Bpd is a disorder that stems from abuse and neglect and somehow people still find a way to demonize it.
dating someone with bpd is not for the weak, I’ll never tell my story out of respect but. I don’t recommend even to my worst enemy.

The thing about emotional abuse and toxic relationships is that you really cannot speak on it unless you’ve experienced it because they follow such a sinister rule book full of tricks and manipulations that aren’t even on the radar of empathetic, “‘normal” people.

When you’re with someone who lacks empathy u really let them convince you that you’re just too emotional and crazy or overreacting or doing it for attention and you really start to believe that you are annoying for having feelings and not that they’re sociopathic for not reacting.

My youngest just said “mommy is my dad really 50” and before I could even respond the older one chimed in “hey drake I heard you like em young.” His comedic timing needs studied. He’s too powerful for an 8 year old.

The most successful people you know also flirt with everyone. Watch the people who are just irresistible socially; it’s because they act super interested in everyone they encounter and try to win them over. Flirting is networking. This is my truth.

My ex used to pick a fight with me every single night at bedtime and I realized it was a stress reliever for him. He still will find an excuse to pick an argument via text at bedtime to this day sometimes. Don’t let people try to regulate themselves through disregulating you.
after i read about dopamine seeking behaviors in neurodivergent individuals like a year or two ago and saw actual people admit that they seek out arguments and conflict for stimulation, i stopped taking a lot of the weird/extreme interactions on here personally tbh.

@abenyola That’s my feelings on it honestly. I can’t handle the drama and I need a place to live. I’m going through enough. If he made a habit of it I would say something but I think he saw how visibly uncomfortable and cold I got so hopefully that will make him quit.

If you are with a toxic individual it’s easy to internalize all of their bad behavior and shortcomings when they’ve beaten you down and they come across as cool and level headed when you’re emotional, but even dogs help other animals when they hear them cry. It’s not normal.

Most abuse is not outright. It can be, but a lot of times it’s very quiet and covert and sneaks up on you. They know how to erode away at your self esteem and find your weak spots & you give them because you trust them and they use all of the data they collect to best destroy you.

I do. Often. Almost got into multiple fist fights over it. I would rather an abused child see me defend them and plant the seed in their brain that someone out there thinks the treatment isn’t okay even if I know that I can’t save them. At least they will feel seen in that moment.
Man I wish it was socially acceptable to tell someone to stop being an asshole to their child.

Even if you talk to other victims of emotional abuse, there’s still always an element of isolation because your abuser set up the game to be perfectly curated to only control YOU. So there’s feelings and stories and moments that only you can understand how painful they were.
