Not sure if this is genuinely helping improve or kinda destroy my life rn 😂😭🤷🏻‍♀️
Is anyone else finding that their spirit is rejecting nearly everything lately? People, situations, and things I once could tolerate, I just can't anymore.

In the end we think the colour has grown on us lol And he finally was able to put the wardrobe in on the other side of the room (we front it as there was a smell & the wall & boards of wardrobe needed cleaning & airing) But the whole room in his house now feels more ours lol

My immediate family in a nutshell and what I went through behind closed doors for many years and only realised what was happening in 2024 at 31/2 years of age🫠
In toxic and dysfunctional families, you're not allowed to discuss your feelings, talk about issues or concerns, or hold anyone accountable. Don't get this wrong. The TOXIC members can say what they want, tell you what they think and feel, speak their mind, take their anger out on you, and try to hold you accountable for everything, including things that aren't even your fault, but there are double standards for you. You will be given orders to STFU or else, dismissed, ignored, invalidated, minimized, and be told to move on, quit bringing it up, or to let it go, even when there's been no closure, no apologies, no accountability, and no change in their behavior. This is manipulation at its finest, and yes, it's emotional abuse.

@ edia.seltenreich

LET THEM TALK:

Let them assume.
Let them have opinions.
Let them misunderstand.
Let them twist your story to fit their version of you.

Because here's the truth: no matter what you do, someone will have something to say.

If you work hard — it's too much.
If you rest — you're lazy.
If you speak your truth — you're too much.

If you stay quiet — you think you're better.

So let them talk.

Their opinions don't pay your bills or build your peace and you've got bigger things to focus on: your growth, your goals, your glow.

You weren't born to ask for permission. You weren't made to shrink yourself so others feel comfortable. You're here to build a life that feels right to you, one rooted in peace, growth, and truth. Your life, your rules, your power.

How to Stop
Taking Things Personally
1. Realise that other people's rudeness is not about you.
When someone is rude it's likely to be a reflection
of their own issues.
2. Ask yourself what else the comment or behaviour might mean. For example, if someone doesn't smile
or say hello, they might be shy.
3. Take comments or criticism in a constructive way. Ask yourself if there's any truth to it,
and what you can learn.
4. Take a different perspective. Ask yourself how an unbiased outsider
would see the situation.
5. Realise that you can't please everyone.
6. Know that you're not defined by your mistakes
or criticism.
7. Realise that your self-worth depends on you. It does not depend on what others say about you.

Also realising/telling myself that mutuals from bird app don’t have to follow me here just cos they did over there. It’s *really* hard not to take it personally and let rejection sensitivity take over tbh So I let them free (& ye I do unfollow here sorry) & learn my place in my own lane instead🥹

Tips for coping with distressing news events
Remember that different things work for different people at different times. If a particular suggestion doesn't work for you, be kind to yourself. You could tr something else, or try again later.
Set boundaries with your news habits
Watching, reading or listening to the news is a helpful way to stay informed. And when a story is developing, it can be tempting to see what everyone else is saying on social media.
But if that's making you feel worse, you might want to change your habits.
You could try to:
•Set yourself limits, and try to stick to them - like only looking at the news at a certain time of day, or for a set amount of time
• Mute notifications from news websites and apps, so you only engage with the news when you choose to
• Tailor your social media - for example by choosing to view certain pages, but not scroll through timelines or newsfeeds
• Focus on factual content rather than opinions - even though the facts may still be
. Seek out some positive or uplifting news‘I started to feel overwhelmed with the coronavirus crisis, so I decided to listen to the news just once a day. It was all getting too much and I was getting anxious about all sorts of uncertainties.’

Focus on what you can control
It might help to try to focus on what you can control
- even if there aren't many things, or if they only feel small.
To help focus your thoughts you could:
• Make a list of the things you can change, and the things you can't
• Try to notice positive things in your life that are staying the same, despite other things feeling uncertain
• Try to distract yourself from the things you can't control - for example with a relaxation exercise

Twitter the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.
You can say "I like pancakes" and somebody will say "So you hate waffles?"
No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.
