You don't need a reason to distance yourself from people. If they give you bad vibes then you deserve to honor that gut feeling and protect yourself. Even if they're not doing anything wrong or bad or even if they haven't done anything to you. You can just straight up not like someone, no context necessary. That's valid af and there's not enough emphasis on intuition and gut feelings. Yes, absolutely. Listen to your instincts.

Improving as a person and a woman is work from the inside out, an important part is being a better friend - so how can I be a better friend?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a basic guide on how to be a better friend. The most important part of being a better friend is to communicate properly. Not all friendships are the same and will ask for the same things. Talk to your friends and figure out how you can be a better friend for them. Although, don’t drastically change yourself. 
BE CONSISTENT. Check up on your friends, ask them if they’re free, hype them up on their posts, and be consistent with it. You’re not friends with someone if you only talk to them twice a year, plus it makes people feel good when they think that you’ve been keeping them in their thoughts. 
AVOID JUDGEMENT. A big factor in a friendship, but it tends to be neglected in the moment. It is completely okay to question someone’s actions and give feedback sometimes, however, you have to know when judgment is not wanted or needed. Typically, avoid judging someone at all, consider their perspective. 
HONESTY. Be honest with your friends. If you do something that impacts them, tell them. If you happen to talk about them without their presence, tell them. Many people are much more forgiving if the person owns up to it. A friendship founded on lies, will not last. 
USE YOUR SKILLS TO HELP. If you excel in a certain area, ensure that you help those who struggle in that area. An example, teaching your friend how to code, or giving them advice starting in the gym. Moments of when someone willingly and happily helps you, are not easily forgotten. 
MEAN > GOOD. The heading is a bit odd, but to continue off my last point, it is much more easier to remember a small mean act, than a small good act. Likely, no one is going to remember if you held the door for them however, they will remember if you ever talked behind their back. So, think about your actions, and their effect on how people will perceive you. 
PRAISE YOUR FRIENDS. Start finding the joy in your friend’s successes. That same good energy from those successes will find you. If you curse or envy them, you will be bound to failure as you cannot share that energy. The small things like a compliment or a cute note on their locker increase that energy.

Did you see this picture yet? The first thing I realized was Michael's hand on David's back and their lovely smiles.
Tumblr media
Hello! Yes, I did certainly see this group picture that was posted this morning, after every other picture had been posted. This is from Georgia's Insta, so for those who haven't seen the original post, here is a screenshot, along with a close-up of Michael and David, so we can see a little better:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It seems that Georgia's hashtag has been causing some confusion due to her use of an idiomatic expression, so for non-native speakers, the word "tits" has multiple meanings--colloquially, it's another word for breasts, but in British slang, a "tit" also refers to someone who is a fool or an idiot. So Georgia is saying here that she has tits, Anna has tits, and Michael and David are a pair of "tits" (idiots), which gives us the number three.
I did notice and enjoy that there is a "beading" theme to this picture, between David's suit and Anna's dress. I actually very much like her dress and how flattering it is, and it's something I would wear myself, although probably in a different color than white. I also love the way David's jacket sparkles, and there is something about him wearing it while standing next to Michael (who looks one box of bleach away from Aziraphale) that makes it have even more of a "the angel and the Starmaker" vibe to it. Because it's them. You know?
That was a large part of the impression I had of this picture, as it were. Of there being two distinct couples here, but perhaps not the couples you'd assume. It actually reminds me a lot of the picture that the four of them took in Lapland last year, which also looked like two gay couples rather than two straight ones. They all seem to look very comfortable in this arrangement as well, in a way that I felt was somewhat absent from a few of the pictures that were posted yesterday.
To your point, though, I did notice Michael's hand on David, and the warmth that radiated out just from that single touch. His hand is also noticeably low on David's waist, which echoes how we've seen Michael with his arm around David in the past, and is a lovely complement to David's hand being near Michael's neck. Michael's hair is also a bit disheveled compared to the red carpet photos, and I love the idea of it being messed up from a snogging session he and David were having in a coat closet before the girls pulled them out for a pic. Actually possible? Maybe, maybe not. But it's still a delicious thought.
Another thing I noticed is that there is something to the way Michael and David draw the eye in this picture. Georgia and AL are posing/smiling in the same exact way they do in every group picture...although unlike the others, this one wasn't a selfie, and so I wonder if that could be why they seem to be giving off a sense of discomfort to the camera. With Michael and David, the feeling is more one of hesitation. The warmth and crackliness and connection is still there, of course, but it's also almost as if they're holding back, somehow. Which doesn't seem very much like them, at least from what we've all see over the years.
It is a nice picture overall, though, which makes it unfortunate that Georgia's caption sort of takes away from the moment a bit. And given that she's been in the habit of adding these types of cutting comments/tags to a lot of her recent posts, it feels less like "British humor" and more like knowingly taking a dig at Michael and David. She could have just as easily posted the group pic without the hashtag, so at least for me, that's what makes her using it feel so deliberate.
So those are my thoughts on the Oliviers group picture. I am glad that we actually did get one of Michael and David, and to know that they did have the chance to interact at the event. I'd love to hear what other folks think as well, so feel free to add your perspective in the comments. Thanks for writing in! x

Here’s some positivity for fictives who are dating other fictives!
Fictives and introjects are parts and people too, just like any other headmate in a system! Fictives are capable of loving, dating, forming relationships, and having romantic connections as much as anyone else. This post goes out to fictives who are dating or in relationships with other fictives!
💖 Shoutout to fictives who are in in-system relationships with another fictive or fictives in their own system!
🥰 Shoutout to fictives who are dating fictives from different sources!
💓 Shoutout to fictives who are in QPRs with other fictives or otherwise are in non-amatonormative relationships!
😍 Shoutout to fictives who are in relationships that don’t look anything like the relationships of their sources!
💞 Shoutout to fictives who are married or otherwise in committed life partnerships with other fictives!
😘 Shoutout to fictives who don’t let others’ expectations dictate their relationships or how they interact with their partners!

💘 Shoutout to fictives who are in relationships with OCtives, fuzztives, or other headmates with fictional introjected identities!
Fictives, it is okay to love who you want and express your love through relationships that are affirming and uplifting for you and your partners.

self-love is unapologetic.
I felt called to share this message with you today. self-love is unapologetic. self-love is unconditional. Self-love does not apologize to others when it does not look it's best or look like what others expect it to look like, self-love does not apologize or victimize others when it's time to turn inwards and do for itself. Self-love does not sacrifice itself to appease others. self-love does not criticize itself or refuse to offer itself grace or forgiveness for making honest mistakes or not always having the answer. self-love does not believe that it is incapable of coming into alignment with the highest form of it's self, self-love does not do others a favor by choosing people who do not love love enough to honor it, care for it, and create a safe space for it. self-love does not beat itself up or treat itself negatively for not adhering to standards that was created for it by people who had no intention of valuing it or not honoring it in the first place.
do you know what I mean?
some of us live our entire lives sitting around trying to adhere to ideas and fit into molds that were created with zero good intentions because we forget often that these things are not real and that they are just things we are conditioned to believe. Self-love is the realization that whatever you are or whomever you are, love does not love you any less for existing as is and it does NOT lie where you are not accepted, not desired, not respected, or not valued. worth and value does not lie in anything that defines your value by the rhetoric or perspective of the world or others.
you are a person of value to someone who loves you REGARDLESS of anything, this includes yourself as well!!!

this is for people who can relate, but does it bother you when others say stuff to you, like "you shouldn't be hard on yourself" "Stop placing so much expectations on yourself!"?
It doesn't work that way. It doesn't "stop." yeah, if it just stopped when I dropped it believe me it would have gone away by now.
And we work on it. But you know what's worse? These people giving shit advice don't even show that they care. They are emotionally distant from you and yet act like your friend. They don't provide reasons for you to trust them, or even see them as worthy of listening to. They come to the aid of other people and yet ignore you. When they finally do see your issues, that's when they give "oh you're awesome I like you don't have so high of an expectation UwU"
They never personally ask you if you are doing okay. they ask in public. Dude maybe I don't want to say how I feel when other people can listen/read what I say.
idk I'm so tired of the very people who make me feel like I'm not enough thinking they have ANY right to just give me horrible advice.
EDIT: also if you don't actually care don't bother talking to me or other people about whether we are fine or not. Go take your fake ass kindness somewhere else. Only seek us out when you are genuine.

@zrayak is visiting his QPP for a week and my immediate response has been to 1) do three loads of laundry and 2) buy and immediately put up a bunch of unnecessary fun decor
i am a husky with separation anxiety but instead of tearing the house apart and destroying the knickknacks and furniture i just clean it up and buy more

feelings are confusing as fuck
i am asexual and on the aro spectrum. recently i asked my sister how does one know if they have a crush on someone (because there is a possibility). she said that if you’re asking that, it’s a crush.
i didn’t like that.
in my smart brain it only took me weeks to compare it to the other few ocassions when i felt romantic attraction to someone. in those instances, it took me a while in one case but i knew. i knew it was romantic (for two of those few ocassions i wasn’t aware i was on the aro spectrum)
so, for me, this advice is flipped. if i am asking if what i am feeling is a crush, it likely isn’t because if it was, i’d know
