#it actually impacts your mental health

hey do you think next time i'm stuck in another pearl-clutching hysteria fest about how cell phones are ruining The Children i should tell them cell phone bans are the technological equivalent of abstinence-only sex education

omg yumetwt gets so tiring sometimes idk why man. When I joined like a couple of months ago, and I was in my priv account qrt-ing, there weren't as many people as now, and I feel like it's getting 'toxic' or 'unhealthy'. People get rude at times or it's sad seeing so many posts about ppl complaining how they'll never be good enough or being doubtful when the goal of being a self shipper (or yume, but I personally prefer the other term) is to have FUN. If you have any problem or feel uncomfortable, genuinely just don't interact: mute accounts, mute words, and in extreme cases just block, I know if you have a popular f/o is gonna be harder, but do whatever you're capable of to avoid getting uncomfortable (mainly for selective and non-sharers)

I just get this crowded and tinted with negativity/toxicity aura and it makes me uncomfortable-

I always try to keep my distance and only replying with interactive accounts

Idk how is the equivalent of yumetwt on tumblr, I feel like it's easier since u can just not look at the tags or mute words too, idk, my perception

’why is taylor friends with the mahomes when brittany isn’t nice to her and also they support trump’ she knows that. both of these things. she’s just not letting the bully her out of their group of friends that’s also hers and actually existing around people who see politics differently to you is the most effective way to help them soften towards seeing things another way when they realise you’re just as human too

There have been studies done that show how many autistics, even if not aware of their autism, know that there is something different about them from a young age.

I resonate with this personally, as I always felt a sense of alienation from my peers (if you can call them that), whether this was enforced by other’s actions or their reactions to my own. I believed that there was something different about me, dreamt that in reality I was some alien put on this earth by accident, and would be swept away into space to meet a species that finally understood me. As I got older, and those my age became more exclusionary and judgemental towards me, the belief that I was different changed from a neutral fact to something with wholly negative connotations. I wasn’t ‘different’, I was wrong. Over time, these beliefs were ingrained into how I interacted with the world. By the time I found out I was autistic it was already too late.

While I of course understand the perspective of those parents who wish not to label their children, I honestly believe that they will end up labelling themselves anyway. It’s just that instead of ‘autistic’, it will end up being ‘weirdo’, or ‘broken’, or ‘mistake’.

Have you ever had this thing happen, where you're going through some kind of crisis - mental or physical health wise, or even socially or something else - and one of your parent's friends comes up to you to tell you about how YOUR crisis is affecting your parent? Like, going out of their way to pile on about how the negative effects of what you're dealing with is impacting your parent.

Because it's happened to me, and let me say... it always seems particularly impertinent(?) I think it's the best word to describe it. Because, yeah, I KNOW that my crisis is having a negative effect on the people who care about me. And that sucks. But it's also MY crisis, and you know who is feeling the principal negative impact of whatever it is? It's me, dude. I don't need or deserve to have some outside observer come tell me to be more thoughtful about the impact on my parents with no consideration for me. (And, even if whoever this person maybe does care about the impact of whatever the crisis is on me, it sure feels like they don't when they come to me specifically to talk about the impact of my personal crisis on someone else.) I've got enough on my plate.

Anyway, this post is also about Jason Todd and Bruce Wayne. This is what I think of whenever I see someone talk about Jason needing to consider the impact of his death on Bruce. He fuckin' DIED, my guy. No matter how much it sucked for Bruce, Jason does not need to be considering Bruce's feelings about it before his own.

I know some might disagree but, you dont have to be aware nor engage in the whole palestine gaza wharever thing (i have not researched and wont)

If your mental health can't handle it, and you knowing about it wouldn't do much good anyway (such as not being able to donate or have big enough platform to actually do something about it), it is 100% ok not to be caught up with whats happening in the world, regarding any news, you dont have to put stress and worry onto your shoulders.

I should lean more into my associations between Nađis and The Thing (1982)

which vitamin B did you take it sounds magical

Vitamin b-6 lamo, but in my experience combining it with fish oil or another omega 3's is what really helps me with mood regulation (that said, obviously if you want to use naturopathy for mental health stuff you should talk to an actual doctor about it)

Me when "I spent 15 years walking in the park, and I got real dark" turns out to actually be "I spent 50 Euro on weed in the park, and I got ripped off" :(

DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one

SO I've JUST been actually coming to the understanding that this is my life to do what I want with. Like yeah, the most true things sound like cliches because these truths have been repeated and shared many times throughout history. But this knowledge has come to live in my body recently, and it has to do with a breaking point that I've hit recently that's led me to actually be willing to take action to be/get/ask for what I want, instead of acting in a way that will produce the safest outcome.

The point of my life is not to succeed.

The point of my life is not even to be happy.

The point of my life is for me to be ME. For me to pilot my own body with my own brain and to do things that are honour who I am in the truest way possible.

As Dr. Seuss says, there's no one on earth who is you-er than you. or some shit. Point being, my value is that no one else is exactly me or would choose exactly what i would choose, given my specific conditioning, experience, and pre-disposition.

So regardless of if other people judge me or whether i experience the consequences of social sanctions because of who I am:

If I want to sing out loud at a bus stop, that is what I am meant to do.

If I want to bare my soul to a stranger at the bar who was unfortunate enough to ask my name, that is a part of my purpose.

If I want to create really ugly and untalented art that has little to no meaning, which no one will ever see and which I may not even keep, that is my destiny.

If I feel driven to do absolutely nothing of value with my life but to follow the will of my soul and go wherever it guides me, that is my fucking god-given right.

I actually don't owe it to anyone or myself or the world to be "productive" or "successful" or have a linear journey that goes on in my life, leading to someplace that is "better" than where I started. By existing in the world and society, by experiencing the world as myself, and by learning about human nature enough to not be an asshole to myself or others, I am fulfilling my entire potential as a person with the opportunity to be alive.
