@ENKELI you always make me feel all giddy!! It's a gift, honestly 🥰💜
@Blackcloud what helps me a lot is whenever my anxiety or RSD is telling me that I am being rejected, I try to think of potential things that could also explain the behaviour e.g. if a friend cancels plans twice in a row that could get me pretty down, but if I sorta think well ok I know they've been burnt out and have a lot going on so maybe it really isn't because of me.
If the feelings persist, I will often reach out to them and say like, "hey my RSD is kicking up and I know it's not always logical but still could use a bit of reassurance after you've cancelled plans twice". Mostly people are sooo happy to explain and reassure and often will then put in extra effort towards the next plans.
Are....are you trying to invalidate my experiences...? How could you!!
or... wait.... MAYBE THAT'S MY RSD TALKING!!
Teehee I joke I joke. Anyway just tryna clarify, are you talking about like, when someone seems really nice but you instantly get a vibe from them and don't wanna interact? Or more like, people who seem too accepting at first often end up being off-putting?

@ENKELI I was driving back from Bully IGA and thought to myself, I hope my Retiisi started her day with Biblical reading 📖
It is noticeably good for you.
Oh my little angel your poor shoulders. Long term pain is horrible. I hope your massager does the trick and all the tension and pain goes far, far away, never to return.
It was peaceful to read your description of your Saturday. You wrote it so well, I could see it.
My Saturday was a bit less than average 🫤
I’m going to cook a bacon and egg wrap - damn forgot BBQ sauce.
I also need to send an email - keep forgetting.
I’ve got to work tomorrow. - Now I’m thinking about all the stuff I have to do in general.
Wait it’s bin day in K’up tomorrow morning. I can fill up my friend’s mom’s bin. She’s away on hols. Woohoo 🎉
And I can fill up my 10Ltr water tanks.
Best I pack the car now.

@Jynx oh yes, you must read the Discworld series! My brother only just recently gave his Pratchett books to the op shop. I remember reading them on the train to work and getting strange looks whenever I laughed out loud.
The other series I loved was Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. That's another pearler of a series.
Best quote - "the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick".

@Jynx I tells it like I sees it 😍 Besides, it's true. It's nice to hear you speak about your confidence with how you dress and how you have your hair.
I like to think we should all have that freedom although I also do like the "naughty bits" to be covered. I don't agree that showing breasts (for women) and genitalia (for all!) is necessary. My brother once told me that he would prefer his girlfriend to wear an outfit that hints at something rather than having it all hang out as it lends itself to the mystery of the person.

@Jynx so it can be anyone that I’m get to know. I’ll use a random example.
Lady wants me to housesit dog for 7 days.
The second time I go to her place, she tells me about her spiritual beliefs.
Which I found as interesting as cold sore cream and I don’t have Herpies.
She’s not going to want to go to TOOL.
So another person crossed of the Potential Friends list.
