People who haven't had major traumas in their life, to the point that it affects their ability to even take care of themselves, have a difficult time relating to people who have had to go through that. People who talk down to you or look down upon you because you don't function on their level simply don't get it. It took me years to figure out that it's better to brush off the ignorant opinions of others. It's good that you are carrying on in life and trying to better yourself. So am I. Wishing you the best of luck. 🤞
You're welcome. 👍👍 Every day I'm thinking of ways to make myself feel safer, instead of expecting and demanding that the world suddenly become a safe and habitable place. That is an unreasonable expectation that I totally left behind. As long as I feel like I am capable of physically protecting and defending myself, maybe I'll finally feel OK enough to live my life without worrying about someone hunting me down and harming me in some way. My safety and protection is my responsibility, no one else's. Life has taught me this lesson.
If you happen to grapple with a lack of physical safety, or feeling physically threatened by being in public, maybe you can buy bear spray or perhaps a stun gun? Just as a self-defense measure. This is what I have done/will do so that I can protect/defend myself anywhere, anytime, against anyone who harasses/attacks me. 👍👍
Have a nice rest of the week. 🌈
