I'm writing a personal essay and as I write it, I realize that since childhood I've always had this obsession with not being feminine enough and viewing myself in this decidedly non-dainty, Godzilla type way, idk, can't explain it. It was worse when I was a kid.
As I get older I will never understand adults who are embarrassed about their age. Why are you sad and embarrassed that you've existed for a while? Why is it "rude" for someone to ask you how old you are? Why would you want people to think you're in your 20s if you're really in your 30s or 40s or 50s? It should go the other way. Age and experience should be a point of pride, if anything. The glorification of youth, and the desire to stay in that state forever, is the most retarded feature of the modern world. We used to revere our elders. Now we revere 23 year olds. Because why exactly? They don't know anything and haven't done anything. It's insane.
Actually the issue with people pleasing is that you don’t give anyone the chance to give you what you need and then you start to resent them for not meeting expectations they weren’t even aware of, which is actually the opposite of vulnerability.
they hate it because observable vulnerability invokes a disgust response in a lot of people. it may be unconscious, but the tone with which people talk about people-pleasing on here makes it clear to me that the problem is with the pleaser being pitiable, & therefore disgusting.
And ma’am, you are a leftist. You should be aware of the disgusting labor practices used by companies like DoorDash or UberEats. You could work for hours and have mere pocket change to show for it. Are those workers not poor and worth your pity as well?
This is bc they do not have the time or capacity to create home cooked meals. It’s an issue countless ppl have tried to raise w leftists but big leftists online continue to shame/abuse poor ppl for being forced to rely on these services for meals, which act as a tax on the poor
I am chronically ill. I work a full time job that consists of ten hour shifts at a hospital. I for sure eat out more than I need to, and 80% of the time that is due to a lack of planning on my part. It is not hard to make a big soup or a pot roast on my day off and eat leftovers.
