That belief kept me in a relationship at least five or six years longer than I should have been there. Longevity is praised above happiness and we see our parents with these 20 or 30-year marriages and they're miserable. Being together but hating it the whole time is not something to Aspire to

We need to have the conversation tho. Ppl are refusing to exit dead relationships cuz they view breakups as failures. Incompatibility isn’t a factor when the alternative (being single) is considered worse.

Yes and no.

A lot of Americans have main character syndrome real bad and it displays itself as egotism. I think it’s easier to internalize rejection when you approach the world that way.

We also need to deprioritize romantic connection as a culture.

Folks place too much stock in partnership -

Is it possible to decouple ego from romantic rejection?

and as a result any romantic rejection is perceived as a statement of your personal worth rather than any of the other number of reasons someone might reject you.

We also have to stop viewing incompatibility as rejection.
That’s another culture issue but that’s neither here nor there.

I enjoy intimacy, affection and closeness but I don’t wanna have sex all the time. Where do I meet ppl who understand this and respect my boundaries?

thought about this too but i chalked it up to the fact that the genie can’t really alter reality fr. like in Cinderella, that carriage is actually still a pumpkin. maybe magic can’t bring back the dead or kill not just cuz it’s “against the rules” but cuz magic can’t make permanent changes.

And if he wasn’t a “real” prince then that means Aladdin was robbed of a wish

What pisses me off about the movie Aladdin is that the genie kept urging Aladdin to tell Jasmine the "truth" that he wasn't a "real" prince.

Ummmmm. Yes he fucking is. He wished to BE a prince, not just to look like one, asshole. Are you a real genie??

And I don't just want to be picked up, I want to be COMFORTABLY carried without the mf looking like this the whole time.

You're absolutely correct. Gym strength =/= functional strength.

Ijs weight distribution matters. If you want to show me you can pick up a big girl, pick up a big girl 😜

Butter Almond Bunny @itsbumblebear.bsky.social · 19h

I might be in the minority but those gym videos don't impress me as far as it being a testament to being able to lift big girls 🫣 yes you can lift 300 pounds with a bar that has equal weight on both sides. Can you lift anything that heavy when all the weight is centered in one spot?

I don’t think I stop liking people quickly but it probably feels abrupt to the person. As soon as I see something I don’t like, it’s over. The switch immediately flips in my mind and I’m done. That could happen a week in, a month, 6 months 🤷🏾‍♀️
