I think one of the most annoying things about political "debate" is everyone just throws out the word brainwashed, as if people aren't allowed to see the same information and still come to different conclusions “brainwash” and “cult” are both words i cant take seriously anymore in political contexts from how often people misuse them |

Plus "doing research" is such a vague term. I research a historical event for my Master's thesis by using primary and secondary sources, but people who believe the event is a hoax will still tell me to "do my research" because they disregard any evidence that doesn't support their theory. i mean half the time the "research" in question is just reading some fringe conspiracy theories on kick and accepting everything they say without question so its not even really research |

I hate how people have adopted the word skeptic to just mean denial of anything. If youre actually skeptical, you'll look at multiple sources and viewpoints and try to actually figure out what the truth is- or at least as close an approximation to the truth as you can get. |

If youre actually skeptical, you'll look at multiple sources and viewpoints and try to actually figure out what the truth is- or at least as close an approximation to the truth as you can get. literally was thinking in the car on my way to work this morning about how odd it is that so many self-identified “skeptics” are only actually skeptical about established information but dont extend any of that skepticism toward alt-health/conspiracy theories/etc. like if you pride yourself for not accepting by default the status quo without research and critical thought, you should not then turn around and accept the alternate argument simply because its not established. |

Went driving for the first time yesterday and I almost crashed into a bus! Fun times! Also, anybody else just kinda downplay their trauma because they think others have it way worse and it shouldn't even be considered trauma? Examples. My old dance studio was extremely toxic, but that's not really trauma, it was just a bad experience. My sister, who was living with us at the time, went through a custody battle with my niece's dad when I was 11 and I get anxious and cry whenever she starts complaining about him, but it didn't directly happen to me and it's not that big of a deal, so I shouldn't get triggered by it. I downplay this because others have had it way worse than me and it's probably just me being overly sensitive or something. Yeah. I think most people do. I’ll put more info in a moment but TW!! Mentions of @$$@ult, m-rd3r, depression, bullying, etc. I was a witness to an attempted murd3r, and even though that’s some pretty serious shit (especially considering the certain circumstances), I’m almost always gaslighting myself into thinking it’s like a paper cut when it’s more like a skull fracture. Also, I was bullied by these awful people and physically, mentally, and emotionally abused by them, and just play it off like it’s no big deal and feel bad when I get upset thinking about it, then thinking I’m ’overreacting’ even though I might be underreacting if that were a thing. |

Friendships are so hard sometimes. I feel like I keep messing up. My friend says I seem to complain a lot and that's all we talk about, but I don't think that's true. And even when I complain, it's because I want to talk to this friend but sometimes I don't know what to talk about. I feel annoying and am scared he might end the friendship. I'm not good with friendships and haven't had a friendship for longer than 3 years, which could be a part of the reason why. He's brought other stuff up that I think I've gotten better at, but I don't know.
He wants me to report someone to the police for harassing me, and he wants me to do it today, but I don't want to because another friend I was planning on taking with me can't go today. He got frustrated and said that maybe I was making it seem more dramatic than it actually was because of my hesitance to report it. That statement hurt a little. I apologized and said I would work on myself more, but I'm just stressed out now. I'll take any advice.

I apologized and said I would work on myself more, but I'm just stressed out now. I'll take any advice. i feel like i have been in your situation before, and it took some self-reflection to realize i might actually have been using this friend as a vent-only channel. i'm not saying that you are doing that! i'm not going to try and pretend that i know your guys' situation. i'm just saying that i understand what you're saying.
perhaps you could try opening up conversations engaging in things they'd like to talk about? something like, "hey i saw this new show lately, have u seen it?" and then that could be a branching-off point for them to talk about shows/movies they're into and whatnot. if you're afraid that you seem to only be "complaining" to them, and maybe that your conversations are one-sided, trying to interact more with what the other party is interested in will help them feel like you want to talk with them instead of just at them. does that make sense?

Update on surgery:
Results came back. From what I'm reading it sounds like it's cancer. Not 100% certain, but it doesn't look good from what I've read.

maybe i can tryh again once i feel more stable in my time management lol-- oh, I feel you on this one ;w;. I did that a few months ago-- deleted all of the coding for a role-play I made because I felt guilty about how it was going. I did keep the draft versions of the rp, but everything else is gone. I put a lot of work into it and I felt like it amounted to... nothing, idk maybe it was just me being unsure with it. I hope you can try again and I'm glad you're back <3 |

Thank you <3 I finally talked to my doctor today, and she said it's precancer. So not cancer but not not cancer. Basically I had options to keep it from progressing. I'll have another procedure done next week |
