Me Reading fanfic: I want a loving relationship like that!!!!
Me whenever someone compliments me or is flirty towards me: stand back motherfucker! I'm a lone wolf. I don't need people. I'm trash. And you ain't no garbage man to pick me up.
has anyone already done this or
I’ve been celibate now for just over 2 years, at first unintentionally whilst I was getting over a break up, and then intentionally because I had no interest in casual sex and haven’t been in a relationship since my ex, haven’t met anyone I even want to go on a date with, and with the state of dating/het relationships as it is I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever have sex again…. If I’ll ever be able to trust another man well enough to want intimacy like that with him.
No, I don't have a "praise kink." No, I don't like "gentle doms." I want you to treat me like a thinking, feeling, breathing person instead of a punching bag with a bonus fleshlight. The male desire to treat women as subhuman, especially in bed, is mortifying. I hate that we've had to "pornify" our language to be understood by an entire class with porn addiction.
How did it become normal to choke, hit, and degrade our partners?
Our incompatibility is in no way a reflection of your worthiness.
If you could just understand that a NO, a rejection is more "we're just not compatible" more than it's a measure of your worth--
I've always wondered why we take it so poorly when someone rejects us but I'm realizing it's because most of the time we're attaching our worth to it. 'The fact that they don't wanna be with me must mean I'm unworthy, I'm not enough, I could have done more, could have done better' and a myriad more excuses of us trying to come to terms with it.
This is not to mean that we can't save some of our connections by doing better, or being better. It's just that there are times we put our whole being on the line, do the best we can but at some point we have to accept that maybe we just aren't compatible. We're not in alignment. And in no way is it a reflection of your worth.
He’s so cute I want to put him in a terrarium and watch his evolution over the decades.

Books for Networking: The Culture Map
The Culture Map is one of the most interesting books I’ve come across. It talks about how people from different cultures understand, exchange information, talk and in a sense, build relationships according to their culture.
Erin gives out plenty of examples, and this book is light, fun yet very informative. 10/10, would recommend.
