imagine if after the transmigration shen qingqiu became a combination of shen yuan and shen jiu, not in a "second person living in my head" kind of way, but a "this house is haunted and carries the echoes of the dead" kind of way; imagine shen yuan having nightmares about a house, a fire, a faceless boy behind a door he can't remember; imagine him having flashes of emotions he doesn't understand, rage at a name he doesn't recognize, helplessness when yue qingyuan apologizes for something he won't mention, nausea when ning yingying says the name "a-luo"; imagine parts of his own self have changed too, how he now likes bows in his hair, pretty flowers and flowing robes, but can no longer stand a stranger's touch, a man's touch, yet he longs for the brothels, but never sexually, only fondly, like there's something there he misses. there are many empty spaces in his heart where he feels something is missing

How do we let go of the past, learn to love ourselves, and gain confidence and self esteem even in the face of negativity and cruel, false rumours?

Hi love. I think the most important thing to realize/remember is that most people's cruel words and baseless claims are a reflection of their current emotional state, life stressors, and their own poor self-esteem.

Validate your truth. Use facts to highlight this truth to stand up for yourself in high-stakes circumstances (like with a boss, professor/teacher, sometimes parents, law enforcement tax/governmental agents, etc.).

If it's petty gossip, say as little as possible and just avoid it. Most people who say and spread these rumors are seeking an outspoken response or some sort of emotional degradation on your side. So, the best thing you can do is allow the rumors to fall on deaf ears.

If they persist or genuinely could tarnish your reputation (say for your professional reputation, university, or a job opportunity, etc.) counter their false claims with facts to back up your narrative. Facts over feelings (but actually this time).

Hope this helps xx

Hey there!

I'm Lily James. Welcome to my lifestyle blog, where I'll share all sorts of tips and tricks on different aspects of life. See below for our topics! I'm neurodivergent, disabled, and mentally ill, which will impact what I post, though I try to generally keep this blog applicable for people of all paths of life.

Topics we'll cover:

Health, nutrition and exercise

Mental health

Exercise

Self-defense/safety

Sustainable and frugal living

Rules

Keep this blog positive! There is enough negativity in the world and on the internet-- let's leave that at the door. This includes no fighting in the comments, and if you don't like something, please quietly move along. You are allowed to disagree, just keep it pleasant and respectful. Remember to be kind to everyone here and make this a safe space!

Sexual and violent content will be kept to a bare minimum. Young people are welcome here! No graphic images or descriptions, and nothing NSFW. Topics such as sexual or physical assault may be discussed for the sake of self-defense, but we will try to keep it brief. If genitals are mentioned as part of a self-defense lesson, it will be factual and not at all sexual.

I've found that, when interacting with others (or myself), it's useful to consider the lessons I'd want to teach a growing child.

If a child makes a mistake, I wouldn't want them to feel shame. I wouldn't yell at them, humiliate them, or in any way indicate to them that their mistake is a reflection of their worth or of who they are as a person.

Instead, I'd want them to associate the process with love and joy. If they say something that hurts someone's feelings, or otherwise ostracizes someone in some way, I'd compassionately explain to them. Ideally, they'd walk away knowing why they said / did it in the first place, how to handle similar situations in the future, and would accept the consequences (e.g. if a friend no longer wanted to hang out with them).

While the consequences may sometimes be painful, I'd do my best to instill in them that mistakes are human and natural, and that the process of learning from these mistakes is an opportunity to improve connections with others and express love.

I have a tendency towards excessive guilt. Memories in which I've said / done something ignorant or hurtful are infused with this guilt and shame- but ideally, I'd feel a sense of love and peace, and perhaps happiness, when looking back on them. Because they were moments of growth, moments I learned how to be more compassionate (even if the actual learning came years later).

So I'll put this out into the void:

When you make a mistake, that is not a reflection of you as a person. It is a moment in time, a moment which was informed by your past experiences. Humans are not static labels, or monsters in an RPG game. We are social creatures who live and learn and react and grow and experience and love. Be gentle with yourself and move forward knowing you're doing so in accordance with your values.

PSA for protecting yourself in public places!

Be an owl.

Owls will make themselves look more threatening than they are when in danger.

So.

O - be OUTSPOKEN

I know we're children of the internet and half of this site is on the spectrum or just has crippling social anxiety but save your life and speak with confidence if some creep is talking to you. Don't shrink. Don't try to be small. Be unapologetic and tell them to stop and be loud. Make a scene. A little embarrassment is worth surviving a potentially hostile situation. This is your permission to be rude.

W - White Lies

I'm one of the most honest people I know and lying is contrary to my belief system but there are exceptions (Rahab lied to save the spies in the Bible) so i feel fudging if you have to to save yourself is acceptable. So have that "fake phone call" (or use voice memo to send a real message so someone DOES know the vital info like location and eta to your destination) tell the creep you're on your way to visit your dad. Don't tell the creep you're alone even if you are. BS it. And I personally feel bringing Dads into the conversation is better than boyfriends because well they can't really argue with you having a dad like they can about whether you have a boyfriend or not.

L - LOOK THEM IN THE EYES

I know all my spectrum kids out there are like "I would rather die" but if you make yourself do it you might save yourself from actually dying. Confident eye contact slashes your chances of becoming a victim significantly. I was fortunately taught this as a child and so I instinctively square up when I feel in danger. We had this campus group who went around in costume especially during homecoming week. I was walking alone and two of the costumed spirit members came up to me trying to scare me (not sure if for laughs or serious threat) and i stared them down and didn't flinch when they made some scary noise so this even works if you can't SEE their eyes. Just square up look them up and down. Make eye contact. Talk to them (put the curt professional tone on them. Just the iciest voice you can manage talk to them like you came there to fire them from their job) If you look them in the eye they'll think you're confident and they'll also know you know how to identify them in a lineup

In conclusion don't be like a frightened deer in headlights

Be bigger than you are and make unsettling eye contact like an owl

or my personal favorite embodiment of self defense persona

Be a frilled lizard. Act like you came there to fuck THEIR shit up today.

My spouse and I were stalked at the store, today.

I won't go into much detail because it's not necessary, but my spouse's reaction compared to mine made me realize that some people literally have no idea what to do if this is ever happening. They were scared and visibly distressed, which is perfectly understandable, but other than running away.. their first instinct was to confront the man. Unless this is absolutely necessary, please do NOT do that. Here's what you should do instead:

Remain calm. Try not to tip them off to the fact that you know that you are being followed, and carefully collect identifying details about the person stalking you. In our case, this was a man about six feet tall wearing a basspro hat backwards, and some kind of bright blue, patriotic shirt with an American flag. When he took his hat off, he had very patchy light hair.

Next, go immediately to an area with cameras. In this case, we were in Walmart and so I went to the pharmacy area where cameras typically are. There's usually cameras there, by cosmetics, the alcohol aisle, etc. Stop nearby it so you can look at the screen (or reflection if it's the disk kind). This accomplishes two things: Getting both you and the stalker on camera, and being able to confirm that you are indeed being followed.

After that, go to the nearest source of help. This can be a nearby worker, the pharmacy counter, the automotive center, or the customer service desk. We went to the front of the store and I told a greeter, since he is watching the door, and my spouse told a team lead at the service desk. The team lead saw this man acting suspicious and his description for himself, which is very helpful. It got brought to a manager, and then the AP team. They are now going to check the cameras, confirm the description, and collect evidence.

Walmart cameras have facial recognition software, so they can track the man's movements and behaviors as well as see if he's banned, done this before, etc. If necessary, they will bring it to law enforcement.

You can always ask a worker to escort you out to your car and help you load it. Once you are inside your vehicle, do not linger. Leave immediately. If you need to stop for any reason, do so at a well-lit, crowded spot like a busy gas station. Be aware of your surroundings, and if you don't feel safe, try to contact a friend to stay with or escort you.

The bottom line here is, collect evidence and tell customer service workers whatever you can without confronting the stalker. You want to catch this man in the act, not give him a reason to flee. He may just return and do this creepy behavior to a different person if he isn't caught on camera or if workers aren't made aware of his presence and behavior.

Stay safe out there, guys. Please. Think of yourself and the others around you, and be aware of your surroundings at all times. If you see something, SAY something. My spouse and I only noticed because of a kind lady informing us that we were being followed and to be careful. It's better to be wrong than to let someone get stalked through the store. Hopefully this will help even one person be calm if this ever happens to them.

On a side note, if you DO have to confront the stalker, don't be afraid to get loud. Use your environment for you, if any violence occurs for any reason. Cans of soup, things within range that can be thrown, even air fresheners or cleaning chemicals that you can squirt in the assailant's face can be helpful in defending yourself. Back away and get help quickly once it is safe to disengage.

Just remember, stay calm, and everything will fall into place.

Stay safe out there.
