Born 1957. Cis, [almost entirely] straight white male** = he/him. Vanilla AF. I don't DRINK decaf but I AM decaf. I dig beautiful people (and "beautiful" covers a very wide spectrum with me); art and music of many kinds; wit; writing and books; kindness; and thought-provocation. I also dig saying "dig". Still waiting for someone to ask me. Strangers who pop in to say only "hi", or who try to shanghai me out of someone else's comments, get blocked. (my SFW alter ego, focusing a bit more on the arts, is @mrsaito58)
(** but I accept/love people who are none of those things, so don't assume you have me all figured out, please)

Tumblr post: xyz is proof you're irredeemable

Said therapist: xyz is extremely common, and it means nothing about you as a person. But since it's making you miserable, here's how you can work on experiencing it less

As someone who now literally edits psychology books for a living, I promise that this actually applies to the vast, vast majority (90% or more, even, maybe) of the sweeping moral statements I see on this website
This apart of a strategy the white house comms team uses, btw. They intentionally take music or art from artists who they know are left-of-center to try to get them to object. They then use that objection as proof of "the woke left censoring them" to get attention to their posts. If the artist doesn't fall for the bait and stays silent they can pretend the artists approved and agree with them.
It's an administration made up of 4chan trolls. Ragebaiting as a political tactic.

Are you ashamed to crawl to him because your belly hangs and your tits sway? Do you prefer online LDRs because if she sees your small stature in real life she won’t respond to your authority? Do your ribs show so distinctly that you’re always dreading the first comment about eating something so you’ll be healthy?
Too fat. Too short. Too skinny. Too loud. Too smart. Too hairy. Too old. Not enough money. Not enough experience. In a wheel chair. Lost a limb. A basket case with enough luggage to open a store.
Stop. Just stop.
You are you. And whoever that is you are a unique addition to the world. There is no other exactly like you which makes you a rare prize. And in this world there are those who would give anything to possess that prize.
Be proud of you. Love you. Don’t obsess over those who don’t value your brand of awesomeness. But remember to be open and accepting of those who do. If Tumblr teaches you nothing else it should be clear that there is a ying to every yang.
Who knows? The person you reblog this from may be yours.
