man i wish ‘no’ was a more socially acceptable answer
like ‘wanna come with us’
‘no’
no hard feelings
end of story
instead you either feel guilty for saying no or you have to give a detailed explanation/excuse why you don’t wanna or can’t go somewhere or you end up going anyway
It’s kinda sad how children automatically label themselves as “dumb” when they can’t do or understand MATH… Seeing how the world puts so much emphasis on MATH, nobody gets credit when they’re amazing at writing, or music, or ART… Because the only thing that really matters is the fucking quadratic formula, right?
I’m always taken aback when my emotions can effect me so physically. It makes me realize that all the times I’ve told myself “It’s just mental, snap out of it” aren’t necessarily true. When your body is trippin out as well as your psyche it’s nearly impossible to “just snap out of it”. Self care and some empathy for yourself is so important. Sometimes my anxieties give me anxiety.
