Donโt be โtoo coolโ. Be CRINGE. To be cringe is to be free. You cannot be embarrassed about who you are, if they are talking, unfollowing, calling you names, youโre doing the right thing. KEEP GOING!
iโve removed ego and shame from the experience of liking people. me liking someone is my personal decision, but that doesnโt mean theyโre obligated to like me back, desire me or act according to my expectations. i donโt see rejection or lack of reciprocity as an attack on my self worth.
and by โshameless,โ i mean iโm not carrying embarrassment on my head because i like someone. whether i text first, express interest or end up liking them more than they like me, it is what it is. iโm not going to start acting emotionally detached just to protect pride. i also think people who genuinely find mutual attraction, emotional alignment and timing at the same time are very lucky because it honestly doesnโt happen as easily as people make it seem.
Single sex schools give many girls something surprisingly rare: the experience of seeing women occupy every level of authority without explanation or exception. Entire institutions run by women. So no one will ever convince me that women are incompetent.
People are counting on you to not know yourself and they want to wait until youโre in a vulnerable position to try and exploit that. No matter what position youโre in, you have to be self aware about who you are. Your condition doesnโt dictate your value
when youโre in psychosis your pattern recognition goes into mega-drive and you start building all kinds of fucked up shit thatโs not there so no it isnโt, itโs good to have balanced pattern recognition, too much of it and youโre nuts
