it's amazing how when i'm an active agent in my life good things happen and i feel capable and confident in myself and when i just passively let life happen to me terrible things happen and i am miserable. surely no one else has ever noticed this tendency

I hate the discourse surrounding the “male loneliness epidemic” because men’s loneliness is real. statistically, men DO NOT have deep or emotionally fulfilling relationships. BECAUSE OF PATRIARCHY. because patriarchal manhood is emotionally abusive. it’s literally astounding that we’ve ceded this territory to fascists when we need it. we need to be able to say yes. you are lonely. because of your values. because of the emotional expectations of your gender. you can have different values and stop being lonely. you can give up patriarchy and stop feeling so awfully alone.

online right now, it’s really difficult to say this without getting harassed. but I want you to remember this for real life when you’re talking to real people. any man talking about male loneliness is an opportunity for feminist revision. say yes, say you are lonely. and then say that’s how boys are taught to interact with each other and you will stay lonely until boys are allowed and expected to have feelings and be emotional and emotionally present with those they love

This is true! The problem is that "the male loneliness epidemic" means two very different things. There's the problem of men not knowing or being allowed to form meaningful relationships, and there's the problem of men believing they're entitled to sex.

i think family and friends of disabled people don't understand just how exhausting and disheartening it is to constantly have them suggest reasons why you're disabled and ways you can improve. like yeah, i get it, you don't want someone you care about to be struggling or whatever. but being in denial or bargaining for ways to "fix" the situation is getting stuck in those stages of grief. which is something to work through, not offload onto the disabled person who then has to negotiate with or navigate your feelings. about them! like as disabled people we don't have the luxury of being in denial. we can't, because we have to accept and understand our disabilities in order to survive. you can't manage something you want to pretend doesn't exist like. for the disabled person, all the other person manages to do with their suggestions is to force the disabled person to take responsibility for their own disabilities. to "be the bearer of bad news" so to speak. and to manage other people's emotional reactions to their disabilities, and the grief someone feels about another person's disability. and do this over and over like. c'mon

if u were a huge asshole as a kid. and u still feel guilty over it. especially with tumblr's evil bullshit moral stance that you can never be forgiven for cruelty you've done in the past - even as a kid - bc "omg *i* knew better as a kid, you were being bad as a kid bc you're just a bad person" - it is literally just Not True. you do not have to hold the weight your guilt for the rest of your life. the person you are & the way you choose to act Now is the only indicator of whether you are a "good" person or not. if you understand the mistakes you made & choose to be compassionate & kind instead, there is no need to feel like you've lacked absolution - you find it for yourself in your growth into the person you want to be

People with personality disorders receive a ridiculous amount of stigma and mistreatment from medical professionals for no good reason. It’s not just because of how the people with personality disorders are acting, it’s about what people assume.

I know this from firsthand experience. I was misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder for 4 years. Immediately after I was diagnosed, I saw a huge change in how medical professionals treated me, even though I wasn’t acting any different. I was refused treatment and testing for physical conditions due to my status as someone with BPD.

And in the end, I didn’t even have BPD. Yet, since doctors saw my diagnosis, they treated me poorly for no good reason. This is proof that it’s not the symptoms of the disorder that cause stigma, it’s the people who make assumptions, stereotypes and generalizations about you that cause the stigma.

Facing stigma as a cluster b person is unacceptable, yet almost entirely unavoidable. I just want to remind all the people with personality disorders that you are valid, you are worthy of respect and equal treatment, and you do not deserve the hate that you receive simply because of your diagnosis.
