When we're fooled by a predator, it's almost never because we missed some obvious red flag. Predators go out of their way to disguise red flags-- & they're often very good at it.
You didn't miss something. Something was effortfully hidden from you.
When our environment is full of pain-- abuse, neglect, bullying-- we learn to live in our head. It's why so many survivors have such rich imaginative & creative lives.
Also why so many of us struggle w/ dissociation, depersonalization, & derealization when we're triggered.
@DrDoyleSays I believe that heightened awareness, in not just ourselves but for others can be so exhausting & debilitating.
I had to train myself to lower my awareness or more acutely not act on it when it came to others.
Reading people like a book has its downsides.
I appreciate everyone who’s asked how my friends/family in Israel are. I cherish you, and recognize you as a good person. I appreciate your consideration, empathy, prayers and kind words 🙏🏻♥️
I’m the ‘’get home safe’’ friend. The ‘’I know you weren’t doing ok, let me know if you need anything’’ friend. The considerate friend. The tough bc I care friend. The ‘’I’ll help you find a solution’’ friend. The tell you like it is friend. I’m also the unappreciated friend.
Taking a moment to spread my love to anyone who needs it right now. I want to remind you that there are good people in the 🌍 and that if you are afraid, love will always win. I want to share my ☮️ like a hug around the world. Hope&Love is our superpower. Evil will not prevail🙏🏻
There is NEVER a voice for the innocence in any of these situations. The isolation, division & force to choose sides is literally the AGENDA! How are we at the point that we are arguing the lives of the innocence as if it’s a price to pay for ANYTHING?!
There is absolutely NO excuse to celebrate murder. There is no Justice in any of this. Both sides are losing. There is nothing but pain, and bloodshed. How can there be such a divide when the facts are right in front of you. What’s happening right now, cannot end in victory.
The easiest indicator at your disposal is her response to your actions.
Moreover, it's worth recognizing that excessively pursuing multiple relationships might signal that you lack fulfillment in your life.
If you’re reading this, someone wants you to know that every time you’ve felt out of place in the world was because you didn’t have the proper support in a vulnerable moment. It’s not because you don’t belong. You matter. Especially on your hardest days. You’ve always mattered.
People slowly kill their relationship romantically & then once it’s over over, say "I don’t know what happened, one minute we were in love & the next we weren’t." No. One minute you were in love, putting in effort, doing the cute things, doing the fun things, listening, understanding, being affectionate—giving your all. Then, you stopped. The romance didn’t just magically fizzle. It was lost piece by piece every time you rejected your partner’s daily needs for love & attention. It was lost when you stopped trying & got lazy with your appearance & self-care. It was lost in your day-to-day interactions because you stopped seeing your partner as a person with feelings & needs of their own & started treating them like your personal complaint centre. Oh but mostly, it was lost because of your poor emotional regulation skills, constant nagging, & egoistic tendencies. It didn’t "just happen." You made it happen. Romance isn’t exclusive to the honeymoon period. It’s forever. Real love is effort & consistency over time.
im so fucking tired of men disturbing good women they aren’t ready for. i’m so tired of wasting my time, energy, love & care on men who are shitty & not healed. i already go through so much shit in life, i’m a good woman. i don’t deserve that bro.
Don’t let social media convince you that having a beautiful heart isn’t worth anything. You don’t need to look like anyone else but yourself and anyone that makes you feel otherwise doesn’t deserve you ♥️
It’s always “women need to create a safe space for men to be vulnerable” and rarely ever the other way around. I’m rarely 100% vulnerable with men, because most of the time they lack empathy, or have low emotional intelligence. All of it is exhausting.
@GreatWhyte23@beulah_baduza@LeratoMannya “Address your partner when you see them slacking” so we can be called a nagging b*tch &he can say “nothing is ever good enough for you”? Also you assume these men aren’t pretending b4 they have us locked into marriage &babies &When the mask slips we are blamed 4 choosing poorly
im literally not meant for nonchalant things i need expression!! i need to be told how much someone cares for me!! i need heart on the sleeve full of love in their eyes cant wait to see me kind of expressiveness
