I've recently given advice on starting healing by telling an anon to make lists showcasing traits they love about themselves, traits they want to work on, and positive affirmations. I like these lists because the act of making them forces your mind to give time to things that are positive about yourself, something that you may not be in the habit of thinking about if you do a lot of negative self-talk. It frames the distance you have to go as something you are motivated to work on and believe in yourself to achieve, and positive affirmations help give you positive things to think about yourself for easy retrieval throughout the day. This way, if you put them in a spot you can easily see every day, you can view them and remember to work towards living your life honoring the things you value in yourself.
(If your needs and goals change later, there's nothing wrong with updating your list! For example, if you thought it was a positive thing to be strong and take care of everyone around you, you could later change that to reflect the value in asking for help.)
Anyway, I figured I'd share my lists. Today I'll share my current list of things I value about myself. Challenging you guys to write your own and, if your circumstances allow, put them up where you can easily see them! It's okay if you can only come up with a few right now, or yours don't look exactly like mine do. Just put some thought into it and do what works for you!
I am a deeply caring person. My attention to detail means I make those around me feel cared about in very important ways.
I am hardworking and thorough in all works that matter to me.
I have a strong passion for justice.
I have a formidable resilience in fighting for myself.
I have a gift with words and a drive to use it powerfully. I balance this well with the internal desire to use it for good.
I am deeply insightful.
I have made it very far and found spaces for myself in a world not made for me.
I have a formidable capacity for learning and growth.
I am the kind of person who, by being myself, makes the right people feel less alone.
I am creative.

Laura Peterson is a godsent.
Was the breakup devestating and hard to watch? Yes.
Bradley breaking down is 100% on point. Bradley knows deep down the extent of her actions, but unless someone holds her accountable, she will continue to pull shit like that. She has not set boundaries for herself, and there is no line she wouldn't cross when it comes to family. But that's not how the world works. Actions have consequences, whether we like it or not.
Laura sticks to her values and draws her boundaries. Not only is she breaking her own heart in putting her foot down on the blatant unlawfulness that has occurred this season. But she is also demonstrating to Bradley what it is to take responsibility, to be held accountable. She got herself into this relationship. She will take herself out of it when it does not align with her values.
I just hope one day I can be as strong as Laura. She has taught me so much already, but there's still so much to learn.

Should I get into a relationship with a guy I'm not interested in? There have been a number of guys who've asked me out, and I've rejected every single one of them because I feel nothing for them. Honestly, I've had maybe 3 crushes in my entire life, and I'm 23 in university when my crushes were in high school. My guy friend (who's in a serious relationship) is getting a bit annoyed. He even told me to just throw my shoe, and whoever it lands on would be my boyfriend as a joke. He says, "Do it for the experience, at least."
You shouldn't ever date someone you don't want to. Some people crave relationships and/or sex, and some people don't. Your friend sounds like he's projecting onto you, which isn't cool and fairly immature. Do what feels right to you. Despite what society may tell you dating and sex are optional pursuits that many people solely crave (and it's best for them to maintain this area of their life for their well-being). If you don't feel the same, that's perfectly ok. Societal pressure will always be there, but sacrificing your needs is never a good idea unless perhaps you need to make sacrifices to pay your bills or save your health.
Hope this helps xx

The reason I won't engage in debate w anyone about any of my less popular beliefs is because I don't think we can reach a mutual understanding about certain things. Because it depends on who you are as a person and your core values a little bit.
Do you think people should or shouldn't have autonomy over their body and life?
^because saying that people should be forcefully kept from doing something you consider "self harm" or "self mutilation" is not only anti autonomy but also severely disrespectful of certain cultural practices such as scarification. Either you believe people should be the sole owner of their body or you don't.
Do you think people should be able to love who they love or fuck who they want so long as there is consent?
^because a lot of puritan ideas stem from the core idea that people shouldn't be allowed to choose whatever partner they like that can consent to them. Whether that be their coworker, or someone who's older than them, or a family member, or someone who others perceive as "too disabled to consent even though they understand consent/sex/relationships but I just think they're too disabled", or couples with a significant size difference. You either believe someone should be able to choose their partner or that you/some authority should choose for them/prevent them from choosing. Most arguments against non-traditional couples stem from disgust and not valid questions about consent and the nature of certain power dynamics. We can't discuss this in good faith because whatever I may want to explain my reasoning behind, the opponent in that discourse will simply brick wall due to disgust and we won't be able to get anywhere talking about real consent issues or what does and doesn't count.
Do you think certain groups of people are less worthy of living a safe and happy life than others? Or that people are not owed life simply because they are alive?
^this is a personal difference in values. I don't think anyone is less worthy of living, but some people do. We can't have a valuable discourse about this because neither party will change their opinion-- because it is more than just an opinion

The Spirituality Façade
Navigating Between Pretense and AuthenticityIntroduction:In an age where spirituality is often a trend, the differentiation between authentic spiritual pursuit and a mere display of piety becomes pivotal. If one merely adopts the garb of spirituality without authenticity, is it spirituality at all? This article seeks to explore the delicate balance between presenting oneself as spiritual and…

• Be compassionate whenever possible. We all deserve grace and dignity.
• Be bold and willing to learn, bravery will take you far.
• Share liberally when the opportunity arises. Do not hoard goods through deception and greed.
• Remain humble and respectful, as each person has value and insights to offer.
• Be honorable and maintain your word and your commitments. Pay your debts and live reciprocally.
• Refrain from petty gossip. Only reveal wrongdoings to mend relationships, not harm reputations.
• Hold power to account - be brave and be just.
• Protect the weak and vulnerable.
• Maintain discipline for the betterment of your life and mind.
• Don't be bitter or enraged - feel your pain and anger; then release it to liberate your soul.

sometimes I think about being actual friends with my one remaining OG coworker at this job because I'm just that lonely and we like talking about snakes and plants and then I think 'hold up' because I remember unfortunately he's also a looney white supremacist flat earther who makes jokes at the expense of queer people and once threatened to quit if the company required him to get vaccinated.
But like... we get along and the dialogue is usually fun. As long as I steer it very carefully. That's not a friendship though. That's more of a time bomb. I'm just so used to living like this that it's starting to feel normal. There is nothing else. There's nobody decent. Like I know I can't demand moral perfection from people but it sure would be NICE to have just one person in my day-to-day existence who had compassion for human life and wasn't worryingly far right or something idk. Big ask I know.

Do not buy things for show off, buy it for your own satisfaction.
Hello there!Today, I want to talk about something that many of us have probably experienced at some point in our lives: the urge to buy things simply to show off to others. It’s a common phenomenon, especially in a world where social media and constant comparison are the norm. However, I want to argue that this behavior is ultimately unfulfilling, and that we should instead focus on buying things…

I've recently joined dating apps, what type if vetting questions I can ask
It depends on your intention with using a dating app, but I'm assuming you're looking for something a little more serious if you're putting a lot of thought into the questions you're asking on your profile.
To find you're compatible with emotionally & lifestyle-wise, I would ask these questions or similar ones to the following:
How would you describe your life values in 3 words?
What's the best trip you've ever taken and why?
What small moment in your life was more impactful than you realized at the time?
Who do you most want to get coffee with and a drink with, dead or alive? Why?
What does your best realistic/ideal weekend look like?
What's a dealbreaker you have that most people haven't considered?
What's your favorite book? What types are books/media are you typically drawn to?
If you could be fluent in another language, which one would it be and why?
