  Weaponzing therapy speak, so hot right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In this day in age is it still hard for a person to "come out the closest" ? Or do we need the boomer generation to go away until it is so acceptable it becomes laughable for both parties?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was outted to my highly conservative and religious family by a Jesus-freak aunt who stalked my now deleted social media. I would not have chosen to come out to my family, it’s been just as horrible as I assumed it would be.

  I currently work in a conservative Southern US town and I’m not out at work for safety purposes. I have been out in all my other jobs, this is the only one where it feels unsafe to be so. I’m seriously considering a career change at this point.

  With my partner and my chosen family, I’m my fully queer and sparkly self✨️. It depends a lot on environment for many folks, I imagine. I’ve witnessed just as many young evangelicals spew hatred as boomers so idk how generational it is tbh. I think it’s largely a religious issue, but I have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to Christianity, so grains of salt with that last bit.

  My partner and I are consistently surprised when we realize that a friend, coworker, family member etc. actively dislikes their partner and/or doesn’t consider them a friend.

  Bizzare and hostile is a fitting description, I couldn’t hack it in a relationship where I didn’t feel deep and genuine friendship for the other person. I feel like it’s foundational to establishing the type of trust that feels indispensable to me in a committed partnership.

  Pretty sure his friends call him Alexander of Macedonia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same with my mom and cancer. One Saturday she took a long nap and missed a pain medication dose, as my dad thought she’d be better off getting the rest. Never got back up unassisted and was gone within 10 days. She never would have opted for euthanasia anyway, super Catholic, but it was crazy how fast, and then how slowly, the whole thing unfolded.

  I have multiple plans in place for myself if I end up facing down the same fate. Religion wasn’t catching for me so if I get a terminal diagnosis, I’m living it up and then Irish goodbying. Really sorry about your dad.

  I get a little triggered by unsolicited advice as I’m a survivor of narcissistic abuse and, for me personally, it was weaponized as a means of control, destructive criticism, manipulation etc. In general, I tend to take it as a sign that whoever is giving it isn’t a good fit for me in a friendship/relationship paradigm. In personal relationships, I find it is almost always intrusive, disrespectful, and/or harmful to the relational bond.

  However, a professional context can be different. Unsolicited advice from a manager could be an attempt at coaching/mentoring and I would give it consideration. If it’s coming from a coworker in my field with more experience than me, who I also respect, same response as above. A coworker in an unrelated department who I don’t respect? Ignore advice and make an internal note that they are likely not my kind of people.

  I love my Fit, it’s a 2012 and a manual transmission, I will drive it for as long as I possibly can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Feeling blessed that this is basically my life, except I do have to go to pesky work Mon-Fri. And work is work, I’d always rather be home, but in the grand scheme of jobs, I have one where I’m challenged and get to learn new things with a decent group of humans on my team and good work/life balance so, yeah, feeling blessed for sure.

  I’m processing some heavy grief at the moment so I snagged a copy of Spiritfarer during the Spring sale, it gives me a cozy feeling when I play. Was pretty deep into Resident Evil Village but needed a break. Also, I’m kind of always playing Skyrim to some degree hahaha
