Y’all have to learn to enjoy the moment, every man isn’t your future husband. When it’s done, pack up, say “thanks for the experience”, and keep it cute. No hate needed.
The neurodivergent ick when you realize mid-convo that correcting them is pointless because they'd need self-awareness and emotional intelligence to even process that they're wrong.
'i don’t know that person well enough to have an opinion on them' is a very valid answer in many cases, and integral to the art of minding one’s business.
Good statements for women to practice:
1. No.
2. You interrupted me, I'm not done talking.
3. That's not funny.
4. I already know that.
5. That won't be necessary.
6. You're making me uncomfortable.
7. That's not appropriate.
It is crazy how a single moment of misunderstanding can become so toxic that it makes you forget the thousands of lovely moments you have spent together with someone. Anger has a terrible way of rewriting history.
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
having strong pattern recognition is a weird experience. you spend half your time being told you’re paranoid and the other half being asked how you knew.
Ain’t nothing “weird” about me. If you rub me the wrong way, im either doing two things.. speaking on it &/or removing myself & revoking your access to me. I don’t move weird. It’s very black & white w/ me. Ain’t NO grey areas.
