Thoughts Post your little thoughts.

This place has lost its fun. I keep coming back but am not sure why.
I think it affects all of us in different ways, depending on our personalities. For me, it can be a source of fun AND anxiety because I enjoy the banter, but also have some self-image issues which cause me to compare myself to others when I shouldn’t. So I find myself feeling like everything is a competition and it winds up creating angst for me unnecessarily. I have to keep all of that in the back of my mind when I’m in here and I still fail at it from time to time. That’s when I disappear. 🤷‍♂️ 😕
 
Self-image issues... Yeah, why do humans have thoes? We don’t just exist—we observe ourselves existing. Humans seem to be wired to care about perception because acceptance once meant survival. Tribalism. In early human groups: Being rejected could mean death.Status influenced access to food, mates, and protection. So our brains evolved to: Detect social approval / disapproval, compare ourselves to others, and adjust behavior to fit in. Today, that same wiring is still active but instead of a tribe, we compare ourselves to millions randoms online. The system is outdated, but still running.

I found a nice little niche here where I can express myself in ways that the normal world shames or doesnt understand. I particularly dont like how ive let myself go over the last 2 decades but im working on that now that I have a better zest for life.

Thank you all for sharing your human experices and I hope there will be more fun, bantering, support, and humans just being humans in the future.

🤗 Hugs for thoes that need it.
😙 Kisses for thoes that want it.
🫡 A salute to thoes who have come and gone.
🙄 Rolling of the eyes to the doofases.
👊 A fist bump to the new folks.
😉 And a wink to thoes who want to get in touch.
 
Two years ago today my mom passed away and it still hurts... I miss her so much.

When someone so significant passes your heart is never the same. (Nine years and counting).

Grace, sweet Storm, for the love you felt and still feel every day is a testament to the beautiful human being your mother was and the memories she has left behind that will stay with you for a lifetime🌷 *hugs*
