What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

I think I'm exceptionally tired today - I wasn't even thinking anyone could take that in a dirty way! I was talking about the veggie sticks I was eating. They're much better when they're nice and greasy and salty. Yum. ;)
Tbh I assumed you were talking about food not something naughty.

I’m not sure I believe you didn’t think we’d make it so though 🤣
 
I should have been paying more attention to the podcast I'm "listening" to - just caught them saying something about putting things in asses, but can't be bothered to rewind :LOL:
The one I was listening to said, "they were finding women's bodies without hands, but a handful of them..." I don't remember what she said after, I was laughing.
 
I finally figured out what to do with the three seashells in the bathroom!






Ten points for the first person who gets that reference.
 
I genuinely don’t understand why I’d rather be miserable than tell anyone what I need. The people in my life are overall loving and supportive and literally never make me feel bad about expressing myself. They’ve proven that. And yet… I’d rather cry by myself than say how/why I feel.

What is wrong with me?
It’s not fair to me and it’s not fair to them either. And at the end of the day I have truly no one to blame but myself.
There's nothing wrong with you. I think that's a pretty common sentiment. I can only speak for me, but when I feel like that it's because I don't want to burden the people I care about with my issues.

Nothing is wrong with you, telling someone what you want takes a lot of vulnerability. It’s scary being vulnerable and letting someone in. Also the possibility of disappointment in actions taken, when you put yourself out there, it takes a lot to be vulnerable.
 
I definitely get that feeling of not wanting to be a burden. Especially if/when it’s issues that don’t pertain to them.
I was referencing more of telling someone what I need from them, as it pertains to the relationship. Or telling them what isn’t working for me or upsetting me.
In either case, if you want true intimacy with a person, you have to let them in. And if you aren’t, whatever the reason is, you’re hurting the relationship, IMO.


I agree with everything you said… except the first clause.
I think that vulnerability is key to a successful relationship. (At least, successful in my personal metrics. Some people might consider a less honest and intimate connection to be just as successful as they care to have, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.) And so, my inability or refusal, whatever it may be, to be vulnerable is wrong and I need to fix it. At a certain point, you have to take ownership of your shit, especially when it’s harming yourself and those around you.

I’ll add, to both @Qwertymaker and @Neanderthal247 —thank you for your responses. I don’t mean to be shooting them down. I’m just fighting with myself.
It's OK, I don't know your exact situation, only you do. So trust yourself and do what you feel is right. Sending positive vibes your way.
 
Sophia Bush AND Floriana Lima?! This week’s Grey’s Anatomy recurring cameos are doing things to me! 🥵 I’m gonna need them to be 30% less pounce-able :cattail:🐾

Those two may require a Google, but in 14 and a half hours on the way home 🤦
 
I’m thinking that my next carrot salad is going to have partially cooked carrots.
