What’s your most controversial opinion?

[ydahecnot]

Hmm, Miracle Whip you say. You may need to show me this whipped miracle filling

Just a little squirt adds a lot of deliciousness

 

[AlexBailey]

Don’t. Let it fly. As long as you’re aware of someone else’s boundaries it’s all good.

Yeah? More repressed feelings, but I guess it’s good to have a filter.

Queer and trans people are hot and sexy to me in a way that could be considered fetishistic. Apparently that makes me a creeper or a chaser to many of us.

I have seen 0 evidence of you being creepy or a chaser.

AB, Your actually more laid back and easy-going on all of this than you may realize and I haven't observed you making anyone uncomfortable here. You've also demonstrated an open-minded, objective, worldview as well, so from what I believe all of your critical thinking systems are grounded. So... don't beat yourself up over nothing...

I put mustard on most sandwiches, but Miracle Whip with turkey or chicken

Mustard I can get on board with but isn't Miracle Whip just really sweet mayonnaise?

Nope, Miracle Whip is just a tangy salad dressing. You can buy other brands of salad dressing/sandwich spread like it but they don't taste the same.

 

[LaisDeMarieDeFrance]

Yeah. I just hold it all in.

In my opinion whoever said that doesn't know you at all! They can't have read your stories or messaged with you. Or they have and they're just "special".

Thanks for saying.

I’m a bigger mess than I let on to be, sometimes it just overwhelms me and I feel all fucked up, worthless and ugly. Why should I not be okay with ‘normal’? Do I just have a mental disease like so many people say?

Sometimes I know better but sometimes I just feel fucked up.

Whoa whoa whoa everyone. Let's see. Mayonnaise: Eggs, oil, vinegar. Miracle Whip: Eggs, slightly less oil, vinegar, sugar and spices.

Yeah, totally different.

If the bread is fresh enough, I can put crisps in it without anything else and devour it in seconds. Although my favourite sandwich to eat this way is cheesy wotsits. The crunch of the corn puff against the softness of the bread is delightful.

And yeah, I know, carbs on carbs. Don’t judge!

Chip sandwiches slap hard!
Especially salt and vinegar

It's all about the spices. And sugar. But mostly spices.
Fine, it's mostly about the sugar, dammit. Thanks for outing me like that! *sigh

If ever you need a hand holding it all in…

Yes. Agreed. You’re a good egg, Alex.

Unless a trans or queer person said something to you directly? Then, of course, listen.

What’s normal?

Thanks everyone, your words feel like a big hug. (I couldn’t find the right emoji ) It’s just one of those days.

 

[cascadiabound]

Speaking of hugs - I miss spontaneous hugging. Though people who want to hug upon first meeting is a little weird and creepy. I need at least 5 minutes of real conversation.

Okay, here's one of life's secrets I learned from the psychology teacher I had during my degree completion.

All of us are a hot mess. The concept of sane/normal or is really just functionality. It's our ability to cope, our coping skills, that keep our rationality in place. When that coping skill set is flawed or disabled then the least of things our coping skills will manage instead disables us.

If you haven't or even if you have in the past, take the time to schedule an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist that your medical care provider recommends. Doing so in no way is an indication of weakness or being mentally ill. Instead, it's just an opportunity to have someone evaluate you and help to guide you in your own self-reflection and understanding.

When you're getting ready to leave and you're looking for your clothes, don't forget to check the ceiling fan.

Here is a big hug. From one strugging mate to another.
