yo does anyone else feel CONSTANTLY guilty? like you’ve always done something wrong but you don’t know what it is?

Yes, and I’ve spoken to my therapist about it, who offered an explanation:

She says that people who from a young age were made to feel like they kept doing things wrong - people who’s parents had impossibly high standards for them, people who were bullied, people who have special needs, people who didn’t develop crushes on the “right” people, people who didn’t act like the “right” gender - basically ended up being made to feel guilty so much that guilt became their default response to everything. Guilt became the emotional response to anything which the person didn’t already have a set emotion for.

People for whom guilt is the default emotional response are also more likely to have low self-esteem, doubt their own experiences, and experience impostor syndrome. So, watch out for that too guys

False guilt is a very real thing and that’s why you have to learn to be fair to yourself and be honest. 

the autistic experience in 2 images

this ad is absolutely brilliant. when you stand in front of it, you see the first image, aka what most people see when they see an autistic child having a meltdown in public: a child causing a scene. what you DON’T see is the child’s point of view, the pain and overwhelming sensations that cause meltdowns to begin with. 

this ad uses reflective technology to shift the image when you shift your (physical) viewpoint, which is itself a lovely metaphor.

if you are asexual, sex-repulsed or fearing, don’t enjoy sex or just complicated feelings around it…you DO NOT EVER owe your partner sex. If they guilt you, make you feel flawed, or go on about how hard it is being in a relationship with you, DUMP THEM. there is nothing wrong with you or your preferences. If your partner truly loves and respects you, they will respect your body and choices. Just because you are in a relationship you are Not obligated to give your body or owe anyone consent. That’s their problem, not yours

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

My new favorite post.

As someone who finished her undergrad at 40, I feel this later update. Take your time. Progress made at any speed is progress.

Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had set their books out into the world like ships onto the sea. These books gave Matilda a comforting message: “You are not alone.”

Matilda 🌼 (1996), dir. Danny DeVito

This is so disgusting to watch. They are 12 year-old boys, who “matched the description” and had to experience this horror. A little boy crying scared to death and the other one telling him to stop , because he wants to stay alive is what makes me cry. Just try to understand this- they know the way cops treat black boys and trying to calm themselves down TO SURVIVE THIS. How horrifying is that?

This is why we take a knee in silent protest…but the Son’s, Brother’s and Nephews of veterans are told we hate the military. Wake the f@*k up people.
