Having trouble today. I feel like I’ve reached a very good place of internal peace lately but all those around me are giving me stress. I do still have problems running my mouth and occasionally making promises I can’t deliver, but does that really make up for everyone placing their problems on my noggin? I’m pretty soft and it’s a lot to bear. I wish the smashing pumpkins would release some good new music to cope to but

I strongly suggest a better coping skill that won't leave you more miserable

But seriously, it's hard to keep your progress in focus when others mess with your peace. But you have to! This day will pass. :)

:O:O

you must weigh a ton

i gotta say this is some sound advice you didn't have to throw "Definitely Maybe" in there but you did and it really sealed the deal

good stuff Alterman

good!

yeah drinking water to music really gets my heart racing :rolleyes:

"ultimately feel alive"

ouruseoftools, i'd recommend volunteering before exerting yourself with drinking water and listening to music

who is surprised lorin is a fatphobe

Nothing wrong with "self-analisys"

When I'm upset, I fucking love it when people turn it into a conversation about weight and healthy habits instead of sympathy and compassion during a shit moment

buck up, partner.

other people have it SO MUCH WORSE!

come on. that's the most tired discriminatory remark about mexicans

let out some of your aggression with that physical activity you mentioned

i am also very soft -- what eventually evolved in my life is simply not having others around because it's incredibly stressful and pressing and i don't have the facilities or abilities to support that whatsoever. now i'm in the 'working on acceptance' stage which is sort of fun and fulfilling in a way

I am my own best friend of course.. I simply feel the need to control every element of myself and it bothers me that I can’t manually edit my cortisol

let this stuff manage it for you

Or a punching bag. Or rageful howling into the void. I do that one.

Pick fights online about overly niche topics like popular varieties of long-grain rice contemporaneous with the Byzantine Empire, preferably doing so with a paid account on Xwitter.

Wade into the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate for interactions and boost your ad revenue while your own angst is played out between warring bands of link-clickers.

Buy NFTs – those cartoon apes must be pretty affordable by this stage.

Uh oh
