But I was told its all performative bullshit and attention seeking by the powers that beI think it’s so important to check in on people.
Take a moment of your day and say hi to
Someone who has taken their picture down. Maybe it’s nothing, but maybe it’s a
Silent plea for anyone to notice them.
Some just don’t want a pic there and that’s cool.
That’s not everyone.
Send out hugs and love.
Evenings and weekends, which is how most of us still do itWhen did people clean their bathroom/kitchen before WFH was invented?
It took me this long to figure out what WFH stood for!When did people clean their bathroom/kitchen before WFH was invented?
In my defense, i do not exactly have a 9 to 5 job... It's a how I "beat the system" and it feels like i get at least a little bit even for the soul sucking the company i work forEvenings and weekends, which is how most of us still do it
It's a part of youEverything i post here, thoughts, pictures, comments... It's all 100% me. And yet, this is not who I am.

Not trying to diagnose you here, because who am I? Lol.The great pretende...
at work, where I pretend my job is so stressful and difficult that colleagues believe my position is justified and I can't be replaced.
at home, where I pretend I have a perfectly balanced and enjoyable life, so friends and family don't bother asking questions I'm too afraid to answer.
on FCN, where I pretend to be flirty, to know what I'm doing. FCN, the place where anonymity allows us to be who we are, and I use it to once again pretend to be someone I'm not everywhere else.
When I stop pretending, i don't know I am. So I keep on pretending. Because if I don't, will there be anything left?
Maybe being a pretender is really what I am.
Perfectionism isn't something I suffer from. like at all. Really.Not trying to diagnose you here, because who am I? Lol.
But have you ever considered imposter syndrome? Even if just fleeting moments. It's quite common under high achievers and perfectionists. It can help to talk about it with others, especially peers or even mentors or a coach to see that what you perceive as pretending or fake, may actually be more real than you realise. That your achievements aren't just luck or good acting, but you are actually good at what you do. I've had this feeling for many years, but it helps to talk about it and to have people mirror you back to you. For me it links into perfectionism and a fear of not being good enough or smart enough. Never as good as someone else. And having BDD doesn't help matters on another front. What can also help is writing down things you are proud of. Actual achievements when you do recognise them and break them down. Like stop saying aloud that "someone taught you something". It's your knowledge now. You gained it. You did that. For example. And lastly. Your inner voice your harshest critic. Speak to yourself like you would a friend. Uplifting, positive and with a little pride.
Anyway, maybe totally off base and rambled, but popped into my head and I blabber
This is still very much a learning curve for me too. None of us really know what we're doing, imo. It's not like life came with a neat little manual.
