Reveal An Uncomfortable Truth About Yourself

I truly contemplated spending $13k this week to go see Taylor Swift.

I truly contemplated spending $13k this week to go see Taylor Swift.

Multiple sources have told me it would’ve been worth it.

I might suck. Still deciding.

I have a really hard time trusting people and letting them in due to multiple abusive “relationships” (I use that term lightly) and I’m so terrified to let anyone else in due to how badly I’ve been hurt. I’m good at hiding my pain most of the time though.

If I wasn’t flying to Europe for 5 weeks in under 30 days I would have.

Sex is easy. So easy.

Feeling something for someone is like inviting torture, and so I try not to go there.

That I am cool and calm under pressure.

The reality is I am silent and I cannot believe that the incompetence of others has put me in this position and, at the time, I am killing them with mind bullets.

I have crappy relationships with my siblings that has taken a long time in counselling to come to terms with. I hate when people who don't know what it feels like to be part of a toxic family try to insist that blood is thicker than water.

I love Christmas with my own family, but am relieved it's over so that I can go back to ignoring the pressure of what a wider family is supposed to be.

I so feel this!! People just don't get it. The word "family" seems to imply that members are there to support one another. In which case, being connected by blood only makes you part of a lineage, it does not necessarily make you part of a family.

my anxious attachment style has turned me into a hyper independent adult who avoids relationships altogether

If I turn fully 360° then I have to turn back 360 °

A lot of people seem to have trust issues. I honestly don't blame any of them, it's almost a necessary defense in todays world.

So, uncomfortable truth, hmmm

If you were to read my public posts here, you'd probably know the real me better than most, if not all, of my friends.

hmm, that was a truth but not too uncomfortable...ok

It's been about ten years since I've had sex, so while I know what to do, my body is probably about as sensitive as a teenage virgin, but lacking the ability to bounce back in five minutes.

yeah, that's uncomfortable...

Spending a significant amount of money at one time makes me a nervous wreck. The whole nine yards- stomach in knots, trembling hands, tensed muscles, etc.

Dealing with grief is my biggest weakness

 

[rainbow_treefrog]

I hate myself more than anyone else. I feel like I'm completely useless, annoying and a burden to everyone most of the time.

 

[RosewoodTulip]

I don't think I've ever been anyone's "favourite".
I don't just mean here where most people are married or have other people they talk to or both.
Even with dating and relationships I've been the rebound or the one they settle for.
I know I'm awkward and guarded but I still dream of being chosen and cherished.
But I'm also so very terrified of that too.

 

[letsusethethinkingchair]

I'm turned on by something that I shouldn't be turned on by. It's one of those things where people assume stuff just because I have this turn on.

 

[caitiff1969]

I have an odd attraction to my 1/2 sister and my step sister that I met 4 years ago when I found my biological mother. We're all 40+. I don't believe they know....

Sometimes it’s easier after you’ve cut a family member out of your life.

I'm no one's favorite, here or anywhere else. I'm accustomed to that at this point.

I'm the same. I describe myself as having negative self-esteem--I actually hate myself! The way I like to put it: I don't have low self-esteem. That implies I actually have any!

I have made a mess of my own life by my poor choices. I should be much more financially successful, and I probably should have never become a parent… maybe I shouldn’t have even remarried after my first wife passed away.

I had to cut my mother and siblings out of my life because of the toxicity they embody. I never got along with my mother (the constant physical and emotionally abuse made sure of that) but I had no one else in my life....still, cutting her everyone else from her side of the family was the best thing I could have done for my own mental/emotionally health and that of my family.

Big hugs!! I had to do the same with my mother and sister. It really is liberating and was very necessary for me to heal. Though, I still struggle with trying to understand their actions/behavior even though I know it really does me no good. It won't change anything. The only thing we can control in this world is our own thoughts and actions.

I had to do the same with my mother's side of the family. I was angry with my mother when she died, and the whole lot of her family isn't much better.

I sometimes enjoy making fun of myself here on Lit in ways that may or may not be true, just to make people wonder.

Or do I….

I have imposter syndrome

 

[VoraciousValue]

It makes me unreasonably angry when I have to repeat myself. I am an excellent speaker and writer of the English language. My needs, thoughts, and wishes are clear the first time. When I have to say them again, it taxes my already limited patience.

A friend of mine is visiting an area south of me and they wanted me to see them there because they have more time down there than they will here. Except that the town they want me to go to is, at best, a three-hour drive, half of which includes the most congested section of highway in the whole United States. I've had to say that now literally five times! If I had the time, I would, but I gotta work, you know?

Oh, I am with you right there, my friend!
