You make lists in your head about what you want in a lover, like brown hair and a sweet voice. A sharp mind and a soft heart, a sense of humor that actually makes you laugh like you mean it. This and that. And it’s all bullshit. Because people aren’t lists. And I’ve always wanted to be the person who made someone realize that. I want to come across someone with a list in their head that is nothing like the person I am, and I want to show them what they didn’t even know they were looking for. People who think they know what they want are fooling themselves. Nobody really knows what they want. Not until it’s right in front of them.

No need to point out that it was vital for me to spend my time alone in the woods—

Shoutout to the survivors of hidden, unconventional, or non-blatant abuse.

To those whose abusers constantly threatened but rarely acted on their words.

To those whose abusers would treat them well at times.

To those whose abusers would tell them the abuse was “for the best”, “out of love”, or “in your best interest”.

To those whose abusers told them the abuse was just a “joke”, or “prank” or “game”.

To those whose abusers would stop talking to them as a form of punishment.

To those whose abusers would still feed and shelter them, yet completely emotionally neglect them.

To those whose abusers gaslighted them into believing the abuse never happened.

To those whose abusers used uncommon techniques or methods to hurt them.

To those whose abuse was swept under the rug because it was ‘unbelievable’ or ‘impossible’.

To those who do not have proof of the abuse they endured.

Have you always believed the abuse was actually normal parenting? Me too. Do you feel like you’re making it up, or exaggerating stuff? Me too.

Guess what? Those are lies. Your abuse is valid. Your pain is valid. You are not fake. You are not alone.

8 Signs You’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

Susan Cain’s book Quiet was a catalyst for the introvert movement that helped bring awareness towards personality types with a greater need for solitude and less stimulating environments. With one third to half of the world’s population made up of introverts, it’s great that we finally began to acknowledge and talk about their unique set of traits and tendencies. Along with introversion, sensitivity has also made the headlines and been widely discussed. The personality trait was first researched by Dr. Elaine N. Aron in 1991. All of her important findings have been published in various articles and in her book The Highly Sensitive Person.

Although it’s a trait being acknowledged more, Aron states that sensitive people are still often considered the “minority” of the population. She emphasizes that culture plays a large role towards how sensitivity is valued. Aron writes, “In cultures where it is not valued, HSPs tend to have low self esteem. They are told ‘don’t be so sensitive’ so that they feel abnormal.”…

1. You feel deeply and tend to be more emotionally reactive.

Have people often called you “deep” when you provide your insights? Then, you may be an HSP.

I think I might be a HSP

[wnq-psychology]

For years mental health professionals taught people that they could be psychologically healthy without social support, that ‘unless you love yourself, no one else will love you’ …The truth is, you cannot love yourself unless you have been loved and are loved. The capacity to love cannot be built in isolation.
