”getting thicker skin” is great in theory but I think for some people “get better at handling your thin skin” is gonna be way more helpful advice. I have strong emotional reactions to criticism and they might never go away, but i can continue to try and handle each situation maturely and that’s the important part. Sometimes irrational feelings are chronic and living with them is better than trying to beat yourself up into not having them.

#SOCIETY IF PEGGY DATED JOYCE INSTEAD OF FUCKING ABE:

You cannot live alone on the fantasies you feed to your mind, eventually you have to touch your life for real, assess and analyze your habits, understand your character, try not to hate yourself for your character as it was shaped when you were very young by circumstances outside of you, and begin learning how to cope with your character, how to build habits that work for you, finish small projects, finish big projects, expose yourself to more uncomfortable situations, assess why you want to leave that friendship before you leave it, raise your anxiety levels on purpose, so that you can grow, raise your work load on purpose, so that you can grow, so that you can build resilience, so that your life expands, and can be experienced by you in full and in reality

I grew up in a jar and my bones grew into the shape of the jar, so a lot of regular human things are very stunted in me. it feels safer to allow them to remain that way because if there's anything more humiliating than being jar-shaped it's having to admit and address the consequences of growing up in a jar. it gets worse the longer I let it go because the older I am the more embarrassing it is to not have learned how to use those muscles, and the less it feels like an excuse that I was in a jar twenty years ago. there's no point to this post except Bonsai Kitten Problems.

patriarchy is about the sexual subordination of women and the property rights of men over women and children. male supremacists are going after no-fault divorce, abortion and seeking to punish childfree women because all of those concepts thwart men from utilizing women and children as property. think of patriarchy aa a series of property claims that men enforce over nature and the social world.
