A real sign of healing is when you stop taking everything personally. You begin to see that people act from their own patterns, their own wounds, their own stories. Their behavior is about them, not you. And the moment you understand that, life feels lighter.
my mom once told me "accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others" and that shit is real.
🚨: Sour candy actually helps with panic attacks. The extreme sharp flavour can aid in grounding you to the moment and distracting you from the negative emotions.
Reading between lines that aren’t there is wild. I can speak a sentence and they will hear what they perceive my words mean istg. Like bro. The meaning is in the words I used not what you feel like they mean. You can’t feel a word into changing it’s definition. It is what it is.
The drawback to maturing is realizing just how much people let their perceptions influence how they act. You don’t know what you don’t know until you ask. Assume and you’ll be made to look like an ass.
I love when people don’t mean what they say. As someone who generally means exactly what they say, it’s always fun to find out people just being saying shit to be nice and don’t actually mean it lmao.
I love that my friends know I’ll help them with almost anything they ask but they know when they getting yelled at for being dumb lmao. Like im sorry I can’t turn off dad mode.
Yes I’m going to come bring you a gas can and help but what do you mean you ran out of gas and stuck in your work parking lot 🤨
You mean you drove to work. Knowing you needed gas. Drove that bitch on E the whole way. Now you’re shocked it won’t turn on???? :)))))
Turns out unmasking my autism didn’t change my personality. It just exposed how much of my personality was built around keeping other people comfortable.
