“Nothing anyone does or says can hurt me”
Thought of the Day, 7 23 2015
Nothing anyone does or says can hurt me, even if they are people who are/were really close to me who’s approval and love I really needed or wanted.
trying to tell ourselves this, yes.
after all…
I’m Me, not them, and in the end, what they do or say has nothing do with my rights to happiness and such, my worth.
do something yourself
yeah…. ‘steada depending on others to provide YOUR opportunities for stimulation (and money,) not to mention livelihood, that is, adhd-high-stimulation,
do it your fuckin self.
why have I so often just opted to find something that’s awesome enough, and just BE part of it, rather than MAKING one myself….
given, I haven’t done this when there IS no “thing” in a given area, I HAVE gone and made my own in said cases.
perhaps I should ALWAYS do this.
self-helping inDEed
here’s an idea.
here’s an idea.
give the care of your proverbial inner-child, little-you, over to none other than yourself, YOU make your life good, don’t just expect to be taken care of by others.
don’t be opportunist, STAND for things
politicians (and everyone) shouldn’t be OPPORTUNIST. they should STAND for things and do them.
either things THEY THEMSELVES care about, and/or things that OTHERS do.
not just whatever’s popular, whatever’s gonna work.
I’m NOT sorry, but doing whatever WORKS isn’t ok. it puts you at the mercy of meaningless bullshit, and that is UNfuckinacceptable.
and by the WAY; I mean this ARTISTICALLY, and in ALL MANNER OF WAYS, not just politics, not even specifically politics.
WHAT others appreciate about you
trying to control WHAT others appreciate about you is one thing.
but believing that you don’t deserve appreciation simply for normal human qualities is QUITE another, particularly if it causes to try to control what others appreciate about you.
it might even lead you to not present yourself for a great many experiences, because you think that all you have to offer is being abnormal, extreme, crazy, weird, special, different. (it’s not like people didn’t make me feel guilty for being normal as a child, nor appreciate me only when I was special and different (they did, and they did, nor is it like many of my interests genuinely were and ARE in things that are less common and normal than some.)

Belligerant Honesty
I know of people who are careful with what they say on facebook.
family.
I know of people who eventually rage and say they don’t care if someone unfriends them.
I know of people whom yesterday, over the Marriage Equality ruling, said things like “only one person unfriended me today,” or that “more than one person did so.”
50 or more people, likely more, I’ve only counted since june of last year, or maybe the year before…)
have unfriended me (since june of last year, or the year before.)
(I don’t know how many did before then.)
I’m almost proud, oddly, to say that I’ve NEVER had a problem with social conservatives on my facebook.
Belligerant Honesty, folks.
it has it’s points. particularly on facebook.
in real life too, yes.
Gay Marriage, that is, Marriage, happy happy
I support it. always have.
(not that I can see myself getting married, but that’s cause I have issues, with myself, but you know that.)
which leads me to my next post:
people happier when THEIR needs are met
personally I think people are happier when their OWN needs are met, and THEIR OWN feelings are acknowledged and taken care of, rather than just subjugating them (almost always without their consent or even understanding (thanks tradition and religion)
yeah, rather than subjugating them to some grand larger whole, which may not have “anything” to do with THEM and THEIR FEELINGS.
it probably teaches them that
1. their own feelings don’t matter, and are bad; THEY don’t matter themselves,
2. BUT- if you subjugate yourself to “whatever”, you somehow become valuable, good,
eventhoughyouhaveandarecontinuingtominimizeyourownfeelingsandneedsandaremore-than-likelyteachingthisdiseasetoyoungpeopleoverandoverandoveragain.
PEOPLE! dammit, STOP IT!
ACKNOWLEDGE “YOUR” SELF AND “YOUR” FEELINGS AND NEEDS!!!
…
yeah, I think the world, if it ever happens, will be a lot less fucked up if we
accept that we are human and stop being guilty about it.
important to have integrity…
hey
why do you suppose I think it’s important to have integrity?
something that people who do things for profit, things that are not supposed to be done for profit, DO in fact DO for profit?
(wow that sentence sucked;)
