In light of recent events, I would like to share the link to my Anthony Head media collection. I ask that you handle the data respectfully.
(I will delete the post in a week.)
You ever worked somewhere where the people doing nothing never got noticed... But the employees doing the majority of the work were put under a microscope for even the slightest mistakes
Leaving a toxic workplace is a weird feeling… like you’re relieved you’ve finally left, but also annoyed that a perfectly good job has been unnecessarily ruined by a few people creating a horrible work culture.
anyone else get genuinely excited to go to bed? not even to go to sleep right away. just to be all comfy and cozy, watching tv, reading, or scrolling your phone without guilt. it just feels safe and comforting, you know. it’s a nice feeling.
Introverts can stay inside for days and weeks. No plans. No people. No drama. No nothing. Just chilling alone. Reading. Meditating. Listening music. Staring at walls. Watching movies. Snacking. Napping. Thinking about life and all. And trust me, they regret nothing.
me: “i’m so tired”
also me: *stays up four more hours because it’s the only time no one’s demanding anything from me and the night feels safe and infinite*
my therapist dropped a truth bomb on me: “high functioning depression is scary as hell because you’re very capable of hiding emotions, feelings and thoughts, so no one knows you're not okay and even if you say something no one realises the severity, because you don’t seem like someone who is mentally spiralling out of control” felt it to the core.
They are not invalidating you, they are disagreeing or being tactless
They are not toxic, they are manipulative and contemptuous
They're not fawning, they're being nice bc they're scared
They don't have trauma, they had a bad experience.
They don't need to process, they need to think about it.
They're not triggered, they're upset.
They're not self-regulating, they're calming down.
While it is an imperfect rule, I think that most people who are trying to describe somebody's mental state would be better off using older synonyms rather than their modern therapy equivalents.
They are not narcissistic, they are selfish and thoughtless.

I am genuinely open-minded to this. But the burden of showing these advantages must be met, especially in common usage.
How many people who describe someone they dislike as a narcissist can actually identify any important traits separate from "selfish" and "thoughtless"?

i’m not anti-men. i just refuse to center my life around one. the right man can enhance my life, sure... but not having a man doesn’t diminish it. i’ve learned this perspective only unsettles those who were raised to believe a man is the destination
