You keep waiting for something to make you happy—
a person, a result, a moment.
That’s the trap.
Nothing outside you can fix what you haven’t decided inside.
Not success
Not relationships
Not achievements
They might add to your happiness—
but they don’t create it.
Happiness starts with a decision.
If you don’t choose it, nothing will give it to you.
And I mean all aspects of it. Being physically close, like standing next to someone closer than a few feet apart. Hugging us a no go. Not to mention more intimate touch. My ex made me even more repulsed by touch, since he did so way too much 🤮
It's been a year or so since I've hugged somebody. I stopped hugging once I realized it makes me very uncomfortable.
I do. realize am lucky to have people I can hug. I know there is this option. I would be happy to hug my therapist, and she offered me a hug multiple times. I just.... Couldn't. It sucks.
What's your go to?
This line makes me laugh a bit every time.
But then I get a little sad. I'm the same as Bob as in I don't like spending more than 3 minutes with my parent
*Is that the Bite of ‘87?!*
hope this is okay to post here, but here's some vent art i made about being a male survivor
I have some more wholesome memes but I’m gonna spread them out a bit so I don’t spam the sub👍🏾
At first it did scare me that I didn’t have very many emotions involving my sperm donor’s rejection but I realized I didn’t care because I already had people who were supportive and caring in the life. I was also already grey rocking atp so I just kinda realized I didn’t really care about getting supportive from people I kinda stopped getting emotionally involved in
Growing and suddenly realising you were bullied is so weird.
Like what do you mean friends don't pick on one thing you said once and then threaten you that they will tell the teachers about it even tho they said somethings too because we collectively agreed to insult each other as a fun joke and game ( but it's 3 against 1 so doesn't matter) and then make you do allllll thier work from homework to filling waterbottle and what not?
Is this not how friends work?!
Funny how brain works. I couldn't give two fucks about having a partner and kids, but presenting myself as an orphan, even though both my 'parents' are alive, is kind of... Embarrassing, if that makes sense? Like I suck so much that not even my mother loves me, so here I am 💀.
It's my mother who sucks... But you get the idea.
