Maintaining a positive pressure in a building is kinda important if you like your air conditioned.
Читать полностью…Yeah. The people who voted for Trump obviously don't like us. Fuck em. I don't wanna fuck them or talk to them either.
Читать полностью…I honestly think this is for our protection. As a person who is also a bit neurodivergent, the problem often is that most people don’t know how to handle that, properly. Just because someone is willing to respond doesn’t meant they know how to respond. So, often, it makes the situation worse than it should have been.
Читать полностью…The issue around talking about it is people want to vent or just bitch, but don't want to take the advice given. Or rather, they don't want to put in effort and expect an external source to do the effort to appease them.
Читать полностью…Please don't be condescending when someone gives advice. Especially since me personally have known people who HAVE taken their own lives instead of seeking assistance.

Tickets are [$5], and there are some fabulous prizes up for grabs! Plus, your purchase supports the community and helps elevate the visibility of LGBTQ+ causes here in SF. If you’d like to buy a ticket (or a few!), let me know – I appreciate any and all support!

Thank you so much, and let’s make this happen together!
Alllso, expecting someone to listen to advice when venting doesn’t understand the concept of venting. Venting is letting someone say it out loud so that they can process it themselves. Not for you to disagree and interject. That’s called a conversation.
It’s like, if you’re venting something, why would you put more air back in?
"Just gossip and complain."
You're the one who started this conversation thread with the complaint : "Who ever voted trump in the election don't text me again or friend me. Cuz I'm pissed."
I'm not saying this to be mean. I'm informing you that a lot of the things you're complaining about are contradictory and hypocritical, as you are displaying the same behavior.
Instead of listening and considering what you're being told, you're choosing to fight and challenge as if you don't want to consider yourself wrong or incorrect.
There is a realization not happening that is a factor to your frustrations, which is what I stated earlier: people are listening and giving you advice, but it's being tuned out when it's not what you want to hear.
"You guys don't understand."
All the things you're listing have happened to people. Especially some who are in this group. I just wanted to point out that it's not uncommon.
Okay, you need to stop looking for "the one". finding "the one" won't validate you or fill the void.
Читать полностью…If you want to vent, that's fine. But when you ignore the advice people give and instead just want to keep dumping, then yes, people aren't going to want to hear it.
Because you know what happens then? It's telling the person you vent to that you don't care what they have to say. You are just using them as an outlet without real consideration or respect for them.
That's what makes people not want to put in effort to be a fence post to be talked AT instead of talked TO, because discussion and talking to people are a two way street: both sides have to hear and listen to what the other is saying.
Life sucks for many people, but not everyone makes self-harm statements, gets physical with others, or goes on endless ranting tirades.
People who want help and want to change put in the effort when the resources are presented.
There is also no quick or one-size-fits all solution. It's through trial and error.
I say this as someone who has been through depression, been to therapy, and knows others who didn't get the help they needed.
I don't claim to have all the answers. Nor do I claim to be an expert.
What I do know is it takes trial and error to figure out what works, and it requires more effort to stick it out for change to occur.
Yeah, well, this life is a goddamn nightmare and some people escape it and then leave a hole and don't get to help it not be as bad anymore.
Читать полностью…I think this new era of "don't talk about suicide" and "go see a professional" and "don't trauma dump at me" has irreparably harmed the autistic community.
