Thanks for the laughs!
Kinda cute little monsters aren't they?
One of my wonderful former daycare families comes and picks up our used Christmas tree every year to take to somebody local for their goats. Win-win 4 -

I never feel at home, I'm always wandering and eventually, I drift away because I'm treated as virtually invisible, or that I'm too old, despite the thing bringing us together existing in MY formative years, not theirs.
A recent example: I left a group revolving around a musical group we all enjoy. Not only did it become blatantly obvious that I was on the "old" side, despite the group's formation happening when I was in college +10 years ago, but that politically and intrinsically, I would probably not get along with them. They ignored me most times when I would contribute to conversation, they kept making really erroneous statements in regards to gun control/safety/DoD regulations (things I have a lot of experience with). And mentally, I'm always struggling with "imposter syndrome". Always struggling with feeling left out, with being excluded, etc. And this just made it worse.
It's such a lovely way to start 2021.
Know that you have the right - and mirror responsibility - to take up space, to exist, to share, to be heard, as well as seen. That cannot be taken from you and I hope you never consider relinquishing it.
ETA: but also what does the music's enjoyment have to do with military defense regulations? 😭
Nothing. They just happen to have a channel in the Discord to discuss politics and someone brought it up. I normally mute that channel as I don't want to be in a music Discord to discuss heavy topics like politics or current events going on of that nature. The channels exist to keep the general channel from getting clogged by those topics, or topics of health (questions people might have that others can help with), serious issues (talk about suicide, self-harm or just anything super heavy that a person might be going through) and few other things. Each of those topics have their own unique channel in the discord you can go through.
Really, what solidified my desire to leave was constantly being ignored when I would say something or contribute. I was just being reminded of how often that happens to me in actual life.. where I'll be having a conversation and be completely ignored for someone else more "compelling, attractive, charismatic, etc." It's like I'm just not there.
Oh my.
You sound just like how I have felt over the years. Never have anything worthwhile to add. Pretend to be someone you're not to fit in. On and on and on
I read something awhile back about realizing the difference between fact and what you perceive. So many times I've adjusted my thinking by telling myself whatever I was feeling wasn't based on fact. Ex., I'd be walking down the street and a group of people just chatting would start laughing. I'd automatically think it was about me; something funny looking or I was 'off' in some way.
I had myself so convinced. Not anymore. I get inside my head and have a talk with me.
Kosmos, I wish so much you weren't feeling those feelings of no self worth and low self esteem and not belonging. It pains me also to read those words. You're one of my favorite people here because I feel I can believe and trust everything you say. You're real and honest.
I hope you can recapture love for yourself somehow because you deserve every bit of it!3 -
It's weird. I look at all of you who are struggling, so down on yourselves and what I see is so much different than what you all are feeling about yourselves.
We all need different mirrors and definitely more self love.
My bestest dear friend is always striving to be better, be great. But now she's reached a point in her life where she's good enough. She's not here to please everybody else. She's a kind, caring, compassionate person who loves deeply and with a lot of loyalty. Those are qualities I sense in you guys.
Another thing she's learned is lower her expectations. And she's happier for it. Ex. She's always wanted to walk across the U.S. but hasn't, so was terribly disappointed in herself because of that. The chance to walk the Santo Domingo Pilgrimage came up and she went. It changed her whole perception of herself.6 -
the year without resolutions. Feels weird4

I think it's great to have ambition, but I know how disappointing and demotivating it can be when you don't reach those goals. I try not to go into those threads because I don't want to *kitten* on their enthusiasm... But I just want to tell them to slow the roll a bit. Remember the last twenty will often take a LOT longer than the first 20. That the speed with which the weight drops is not as important as the process and steps you take to get there.
I hope people reach their goals. But I hope it's done in a healthy and sustainable way.
Maybe I need to resurrect my get rich quick thread.
Ugh. Repeat that louder for those in the back. (Me...it’s me in the back). I lost 60 lbs in about 4 months without ever trying to lose weight that quickly. Then 12 more over the course of many months. Then gained like 5.😫 This last 20-30 is probably gonna take me the rest of my life. But....I feel amazing and am having fun so whatever.
I’m on board for your get rich quick schemes. 💯7 -
