If it’s too hard to think positive, think neutral.

I’m no better or worse than anyone else.

I deserve the same things in life as anyone else.

I’m a human being.

Right now, I am feeling ________(fill in the blank).

I don’t know how I’ll feel in 5 minutes, or tomorrow.

I can’t predict the future.

Life is full of painful, pleasurable, and boring moments.

The world is full of good, evil, and gray areas.

I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.

Can we normalize saying out loud that we don’t feel comfortable in conversation?

Sometimes we just don’t click with that person and no matter how hard we try to keep a good conversation it’s just not working and it’s awkward.

So why saying to someone that we don’t want to talk to them seem as rude? 

Isn’t faking to someone that he/she/them is/are interesting to us is more rude? Why we can’t just be honest to each other.

Is anyone else avoiding to watch certain movies or shows because you just know for fact that you‘re going to create a paracosm out of it and spend the next weeks daydreaming and pacing about this and only this or is it just me

Did anyone else have stages of discovering that they had maladaptive daydreaming? Like:

STAGE ONE: oh shit I daydream a lot

STAGE TWO: *online* oh shit it’s a real thing

STAGE THREE: oh shit I’ve had it for years

STAGE FOUR: but at least it doesn’t interact with my social life *remembering all the times I canceled plans just because I wanted to “sit around”* EXCEPT THAT IT DOES

STAGE FIVE: but at least I don’t pace EXCEPT THAT I DO and didn’t realize that was what I was doing/it was disguised in another physical activity

STAGE SIX: but at least I don’t dissociate *googling symptoms of dissociation* EXCEPT THAT I DO

When you’re trying to daydream in the car but everyone keeps trying to talk to you

What I say: I'm off to bed now, goodnight!

What I mean: I'm going to dissociate for a few hours until I drift into sleep, goodnight!
