Making a post to document for my future self that I communicated to my partner that the well-intentioned thing he was doing was making me feel overwhelmed and pressured, and he actually listened and stopped doing the thing without having an rsd spiral (or at least he didn't involve me in it lol), so I was able to enjoy my morning coffee and youtube in peace and now my anxiety level is noticeably lower!!!

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

jaime lannister is incomprehensible to the non asoiaf mind. yes he defenestrated a 9 year old. yes he’s fucking his twin sister. yes his incest started a war. yes he’s a widely loved fan favorite. no none of these things contradict each other

"When people have or show any kind of sexual response, it gives sexual partners big cues about what feels good to that person. When we’re responding in a way that’s for real, that’s great, because paired with verbal communication about what feels good, it helps our partners learn what we like. Only responding in ways that are real is a big part of the difference between a good sex life and a crappy one.

When people fake orgasm or other sexual responses, it still gives partners those cues. It just gives them wrong cues. It tells partners you respond to something in a way that you don’t, like something to a degree that’s not real, and if they don’t know you’re faking, and you also don’t talk about what’s really going on, they’re going to tend to keep doing whatever brought about those responses because they, since you have effectively told them so or shown them so, think those are the right things to be doing to please you.

In order for your sex life to get better, and in order for you two to actually really get and be intimate sexually, he needs to know that the information you have been giving him has been wrong information. He needs for you to start giving him accurate information about what goes on with you sexually."

We're absolutely not keeping these in the tags @strollsroyce, this has been once of the hardest and most relieving/validating parts of unlearning the defensive posturing of trauma. Learning that my negative and positive reactions need to align with my desired outcomes in order to communicate and negotiate space for myself safely and effectively in relationships

Real fucking mad at my dad for making it so that being around anyone who is visibly bored and antsy makes me feel like I'm about to be killed with hammers :)))

being neurodivergent and having a contentious relationship with your own discomfort will have you in your thirties having basic ass baby revelations like "oh, I feel bad when I'm going to do a thing that causes me pain. and I feel more calm when I'm not in pain or about to experience pain."
