First impressions are not always right some people you have to first take them apart like an onion layer by layer to see the beauty under the first layer and some take a while befor they allow you closer ...for a closer look.

I like onion rings. The big ones with the perfectly browned crunchy outside and soft onion inside. Dip it in spicy mayo.

I have no idea what else you said.

For what it's worth: looking back on 64 years, I'm fairly certain there is no single grand path through life but I have learned that if someone makes a kind gesture, take it, even if it is small: a smile, letting you go first, holds a door - it does them a world of good too. But also realize most of the time people are stuck in their own head, listening to their internal dialogue and not paying too much attention. It's not a reflection on you; it is likely just noisy in there. Give them smile or hold the door, it will be good for you.

Wise, true words.
 
I have worked as a child abuse specialist for 15 years. I know what I do matters and makes a difference, but I have always found the work environment I am in toxic and the managerial style can only be described as resembling a digital plantation. It has taken its toll on me mentally and physically over the years. I question myself almost every day. Am I wrong to expect or want to have feelings of satisfaction, fulfillment, and encouragement in the place I spend most of the hours of my day and sometimes night?

You are not wrong to feel that way, or to WANT to have those satisfying feelings. You put in effort to help others because you believe there is good in the world. Just because people choose to spit on the kind, doesn't mean that you are not helping and caring for others. You should hold your head high knowing that you are doing the right thing and in the end, you will have all of the warm feelings you want

Thank you. It has been weighing on more so lately. I have about 16 more years of work ahead of me and really feel I won't survive mentally intact if I stay here.

You deserve mental serenity and professional satisfaction. Just because you are making a huge difference in a world where you see the worst of people, shouldn't make your well-being, your health, your life matter less.

15 years is a very long time to have dedicated to helping and saving others, and doing so especially in an environment that is toxic. You've made it so much farther than most people would. By questioning and evaluating, you're now putting yourself in a space welcoming and attracting new people, new possibilities. I hope you find what you need out there.

Life goes too fast. Let me just catch my breath first before anything else happens so I can be ready, standing on my feet. So many thoughts rampage through my head that I can't focus long on this one. It hurts, I know it. But I know life goes on, and so do all of us. I'm frozen in bed as I think of it long enough for a few tears to escape my eyes.
 
I've noticed that people can be so quick to interject, judge, condemn, and give unwarranted advice to others. What is especially bothering to me is that I've been included in those people. So I'm working on it (not an easy task for this bipolar and ADHD wild child). But I figure it is healing for our souls to speak uninterrupted, and without fear that we will be judged or interrupted. Acceptance has always been more healing than advice in my life.
 
There are a lot of horny and bored people here based on reading the latest profile posts. I get being bored and here, and I get being horny and being here. But bored and horny when here? Doesn't make sense to me, but hey, I'm not judging! Personally I can find something to do if I'm horny... just sayin!
 
Since I got the opportunity to share my music in here, everyday, I'm walking under a rain of compliments, of messages of love and recognition.
I ... This is one of the main things that I missed, in my life, as a person. You have no idea, guys, what all your words are doing, for an insecure person.
I am grateful. Immensely grateful. To be able to walk amongst you people, with incredible names, as @Heather , @Thalassa , @Busty_Nerd , @MelanchollyArtist ...
Please acknowledge, and I say that with a tear in the corner of my eye, that even if you are "just" pixels on a screen, you are making my life so, so much brighter.
Thank you. Merci. Gracias.

So recently I got rejected by someone that I thought was going to be different, someone who is like me, someone I thought I could be the real me with, but I was wrong and he kicked me to the curb like yesterday's trash. Damn did it hurt, really fucking hurt and it still does. And I do what I always do when I get hurt and that's set out to prove to us both what a great person I am and how he lost out on someone awesome. So I reply to dm's and get something going and after a little bit, they just drop me or only occasionally get in touch with me. Well I've come to the conclusion that the person who rejected me was actually on to something. If I was such a great catch then why didn't he stick around to work it out with me? If I was, then why did they end up dropping me as well? Why am I only great when I am "needed" but not all the time? I am thinking all the guy friends I have had over the years had it right- I'm a great female friend, the sisterly type, or a fuck & dump but not one worthy of a relationship.
