Decided to do with my anxiety what I did with my body dysmorphia ages ago which is to beat it with the affirmation stick until it eventually becomes a central part of my belief system. This round is "I am strange and I am loved. I may be misunderstood and that does not make me alone. I am surrounded by people who accept me"

#theres reasoning for this #like 'i am cringe but i am free' despite being incredibly memeable doesnt work for me #first of all saying it outloud can sound self depricating. and accidentally sounding self depricating #(something i rarely actually do)#makes me want to shrivel up into freeze fried weasel and hibernate for seveal hears #also the presence of the word 'but' presents these things as contradicory ideas. and i need them to go hand in hand #hense this sey of affirmations #the rule of three is good and memorable #the first statement says something about myself. something it is good and realistic for me to believe is inherent about myself #the second accounts for situations when that first one may feel threatened such as when i am misunderstood #using an AND here for those ideas that are NOT conteadictory is reslly important cor the syntax of my brain #being misunderstood does not say anything about me. it is a nuetral statement and i reminder of important truths #and these truths are easy to affirm if i get REAL spooked by touching base with a friend!#and lastly is something i want to believe about the world #.....i am a strange sort of person. i exist outside of a lot of cultural norms in a way i cant change if i wanted to. i dont want to #but having a hard heart or expecting harm and judgement from other people isnt good for me #and doesnt lend to good conversation #i want to enter spaces with the expectation that i will be accepted because i deserve to be accepted. that is the norm.#i want to believe that is normal. therefore i am making a statement about other people #both friends and strangers #they WILL accept me. and it will be easier for them to do so if i dont come in afraid of harm and instead open to conversation #anyways thats my logic! i wanted to externalize it and dont mind doing so publicly #i hope this may have helped someone <3 #lush chats #anyways memorize and repeat these all the damn time. thats what i do. good mantras for grounding yourself.#i especially like to do affirmations when i look in the mirror. Spell of anti dissociation
