Therapist update: I need a new therapist

- I talked about my anxiety that constantly correcting people on my pronouns would make me abrasive to them

- She told a story about working with a family in the hospital, specifically with a “nonbinary cis female” minor whom she consistently misgendered

- The story was about how their mother was kicking up a fuss about the wrong name and pronouns being in their chart and how the minor felt relief when my therapist told her to back off

- My therapist’s moral of the story was that grace and patience would take you farther in the world than being militant

Like??? That sucks! That doesn’t address the vote of my fear that even being gracious won’t stop people from resenting me as a source of discomfort. Additionally, I resent having to be the one who’s patient and gracious all the time!

She also told me that when her last workplace encouraged people to put their pronouns in their email signatures, she didn’t because she felt like it should be a privilege reserved for those who really need it (ie trans and gnc people). ???? Bruh

Me when I see the word beaʃte

In my head: ah! The archaic form of the letter s! Being a casual scholar of linguistics myself I am well aware that though it resembles the letter f in modern typography in fact it is phonetically identical to s! How foolish it would be to stumble into such a simple lexiconical pitfall!

Me aloud to myself every time: beeft

We have GOT to stop pathologizing the joy out of life.

Saw someone claim that if you read a lot as a child, you were disassociating. No, you were reading. Because reading is fun.

"I have a problem with maladaptive daydreaming." It's only maladaptive if it negatively impacts your ability to function in the real world. Laughing at a joke you made in your head isn't doing that.

"You seem to do a lot if creative projects. What are you escaping?" I'm escaping this conversation.

Like what is the end goal? Because so far, all this has done has made it harder to enjoy my hobbies because you're turning a mindless process into something I gotta think about.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

I love when people have really grandiose furniture inside really boring rooms. ahh your grace I see you were exiled from your ancestral duchy yet still cling to ambitions of triumphant return. surely you will regain the king’s favor.
