Nobody is coming to save your aging parent.
Not Medicare.
Not the hospital.
Not their primary care doctor.
When your mom gets discharged on 14 medications and three specialist referrals…
The person coordinating all of it is usually an exhausted daughter with a full-time job.
We need to talk about that.
Some people use therapy language to avoid the very intimacy they claim to want. We live in a time with an abundance of mental health resources, relationship content, and anxious/avoidant discourse. Yet people are failing to connect on meaningful levels.
Two workers had a Chris Brown and Usher versus on a teams meeting, just straight songs 😂😂😂 and I can’t lie….Usher won that 😂. I fuck wit Chris Brown heavy but nah….25 years of pure hits….crazy cause some songs I forgot about from both artists
@RiickRambles Exactly! It's easy to conceptualize the work, but to actually do it is another story.
Its one thing to know thyself, but it's another to recognize the pattern, own the impact, and choose differently.
Gamers who have an issue with a woman being a lead for a game can just easily shut the fuck up and not play it. It doesn't affect your life in any real way. You just complaining because you don't like women
I can go a step higher, I've observed people make up things to justify their avoidant tendencies. Like legit fabricate a person's flaws or vilify a lighthearted opposing view or quirk.
My avoidant friend spent months complaining that nobody ever stayed. Then he met a girl who actually did. She was consistent, communicated well, didn't play games, and genuinely liked him. At first he was thrilled. Then she started acting like she cared. She'd check in on him, remember little things he told her, ask how he was doing. Normal stuff. That's when he started freaking out. One day he called me and spent 30 minutes explaining how overwhelmed he felt. I asked what she was doing wrong. He said, "Nothing." I thought he meant he couldn't explain it. Nope. He literally meant she was doing nothing wrong. A few weeks later he told her he needed space. She said, "Okay, take all the time you need." Three days later he was annoyed she wasn't texting him. I reminded him that this was exactly what he asked for. He went quiet for a second and said, "Yeah, but I didn't think she'd actually do it." To this day that's the most avoidant thing I've ever heard.
