Having empathy doesn't automatically make you a good person.

Having limited or no empathy doesn't automatically make you a bad person.

What matters is that you value other people and how you treat them. Not your emotional capacity.

Plenty of people who struggle with empathy go the extra mile to try to understand others and treat them well.

Plenty of people who are very empathetic use it to manipulate, abuse, and take advantage of other people.

has anyone else noticed that pretty much everyone who is worth knowing seems to be doing really bad all of the time and is never allowed a moment's respite from all the pointless cruelties and horrors ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓

what they don’t tell you is you have to be so so careful when you listen to music because sometimes ☝️ it will reflect your experiences

this is going to sound like such a little sibling ass take but i genuinely believe that being a little bit annoying is actually a greater sign of maturity and self awareness than being universally likeable and on good terms with everyone

[valtsv]

if some people find me annoying and can't stand me because of how i think and act then that means i'm a fully realized human being with my own personality and opinions and free will and not just a reflective surface for other people's desires, which is in fact a good thing despite what people who want you to just be a reflection of their own opinions and desires will tell you, and why being considered "cringe" or whatever doesn't bother me at all

[valtsv]

also it's really funny when you're confident enough in yourself to know that people not liking you isn't always a sign that you're the problem. like there's something undeniably hilarious about being aware your mere existence has the power to piss someone off and ruin their day and i recommend embracing it.

[ID: A screenshot of a tumblr post from user kermitlesbian. It reads: "hm. I think every time I feel an impulse to people please, to be unproblematic and likable and charming and feel the safety that comes with universal adoration, I need to remind myself that I want to be loved like a person, not like a dog."]

Is it acceptable that I do shave my legs only because it’s easier to put lotion on my legs when they aren’t too hairy and I do like the feeling of smooth skin when I finish up with it.

I also only really do it once or twice a month so sometimes I do go out in public with hairy legs.

come on man i'm on my lunch break can't you wait???

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

It's insane to me how many people have accepted the narrative of "if we want to protect minors, we need to give more power to their parents" as if one of the main issues facing minors in abusive environments isn't literally that they're completely at the mercy of their parents as is

The thing with disability is that your brain and the people around you will tell you that it's not okay to do things that will make your life easier. But it is in fact okay, good even, to do things that will make your life easier

[nightmaretour]

Getting a pedal bin for my kitchen because trying to use a regular one with one hand was awful was what inspired this post, and you have no idea how much better this one small thing has made my life since. Anyway do that thing to make your life easier that you've been thinking about, it's completely worth it and you deserve it

you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.
