Iirc it means that you feel vulnerable irl

I use credit cards cus I get cash back and it’s also how I manage my budget - each major category has its own credit card so I can easily see how much I spend on each category per month and per year.

I think in pretax numbers and just expect the final price to be higher - how much higher I have no idea because not everything is taxed. It was a major pain in the ass when I only had cash cus I never knew how much to take with me. Now I only use credit cards so it’s much better.

The internet itself pushes an agenda. Do a google search and the results aren’t happenstance, unless you dictate what you want but even then results will still have an agenda.

You get to create your own meaning. It becomes challenging when your meaning isn’t the default societal milestones, in the western world it’s - college, promotion, marriage/kids, house, retirement, death. If that progress doesn’t resonate, then it means that you have to connect to yourself on a deeper level to figure out your purpose/your life theme.

My purpose is organizing my internal world for self alignment, I do it through self expression using art, language and diagrams. I live for self expression.

I eat meat and I eat tofu. It’s great having a revolving list of protein to choose from.

I added tofu to my rotating protein list and it’s been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.

I prefer the Dutch cabinet (I think that’s what they’re called) is what I want. It’s basically that except it’s in a cabinet.

Emotions are just information your body sends fo you. So the goal is to figure out the meaning behind it and then determine/overcome the root cause. If you’ve always struggled with anxiety, it started in your childhood - could be trauma related, could be your temperament, could be a chemical issue. Anyway, it sounds like it’s bringing up your abandonment issues. I use inner child work for this kind of thing - so I would try to remember the core wound and then process the grief. There are many ways to do this kind of work though but nothing else has helped me.

Inner child work isn’t for everyone. Luckily, there are many methodologies, like you mentioned. The main purpose of inner child work is to process the stuck emotions/ the stuck grief that left you emotionally stuck in whatever age the trauma happened. You’re not erasing anything, you’re acknowledging what happened and feeling the feelings that you originally shoved deep inside. This is how you reach the unmet developmental milestones.

There is. You can connect to that other part of yourself through inner child work. You then need to complete the developmental milestones that you missed. It’s very difficult work but it’s achievable.

Codependency is a bitch. But it’s never too late to start differentiating yourself.

That I come from a highly dysfunctional family and my entire personality is a reaction to them. I knew they were dysfunctional but I was in denial about their impact. Connecting with my true self had been a bitch.

No one knows when you entered college. You could have taken a year off between hs and college. No one will know that you had to retake classes either. You’re over thinking it. You’re not the last person to do it, you don’t know where everywhere else is at.

It’s helping me understand how I think so that I can create frameworks for learning, problem solving, decision making etc. I’m neurodivergent.

I dissociated with a ton of tv. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

What’s going on in France? I assume y’all have the same problems as the rest of Europe?

When it comes to people’s behavior always trust your gut.
