From new hobbies and new tastes to personal revelations and un-tread territory -

What have you learned about yourself recently??

That I can not sleep for 36 hours and still function
Kidding.
But I realised that I am a cleanliness-freak if I am allowed own a house.

 

[HelpImLost]

I've learned that:

1. Posting cock tease threads is not a good idea
2. Vegetables taste ok drowned in ketchup
3. Painting is fun

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

I'm getter better at asking for what I want or need.

I like variety. I feel safer spending most of my time on the fringes,
but occasionally I get a wild hare and jump feet first into the thick of things.

I can compromise on hard limits when the motivation, reward, and accommodations are sufficient.

 

[Azuldrgon]

That I am not always the best at handling my son, but I'm working on it.

That I need to push myself sometimes to accomplish my goals.

And that sometimes spending time away from Lit can help.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

There are certain crucial moments when I need a very particular thing. If I'm not able to get that need met, it has a significant negative impact on my ability to function the rest of the time.

I'm not sure what to do about that, but i need to figure it out.

 

[JugheadJane]

I’ve learned that if I set my mind to it I can eat an entire family sized pizza.
I’ve learned to trust my body. It hasn’t failed me yet.
I’m still learning that it’s okay to accept compliments. I don’t have to passively shirk them each time they’re given.

 

[JerseyJade]

I learned that at times I really need to control my temper so I don't end up saying things that I regret later on

 

[Girly_girl]

I learned that sometimes I just need to keep my thoughts to myself, especially when people ask me what I'm thinking.

 

[LL88]

That I am a complicated mess but that doesn't make me less valuable as a person
And I need to get out more

 

[JerseyJade]

I learned that sometimes I just need to keep my thoughts to myself, especially when people ask me what I'm thinking.

Why, what are you thinking? (just kidding )

 

[Girly_girl]

I could've written this as well

Why, what are you thinking? (just kidding )

Lol! Depends on who I'm talking to at the moment. Sometimes I just blurt out what's on my mind, not always a good thing

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

I've learned that hearing the truth can hurt me as much a lie. Being honest with me doesn't mean it's okay to be insensitive. If someone doesn't want to hear what I'm saying, it doesn't matter how many times or ways I say it. That my mistakes doesn't justify another person's actions. That I need to stop giving more than I'm getting. That I get exhausted with being fun and flirty all of the time, and the ones who only like that side of me aren't going to be around for long. That I have made some pretty amazing friends here that have stuck by my side through all my levels of crazy.

It's good to see you growing. It's good to see you learning to take better care of yourself. It's good to see you are being supported and loved on. It's good to see you here.

 

[NeonSubtlety]

I learned that, left to my own devices, I can lead a satisfying, cautious life. I need others to push me past my boundaries. And the results are both better and worse than the alternative.

But it’s the highs you remember at the end of it all.

 

[BadAmy]

I have learned that my particular flavor of fucked up isn't always welcome.
There is a wound that only I can heal.
And not everyone is a fan.

This is reassuring, Indie.

I've learned that having a plan in life isn't as dumb as I thought.

That chipping away at a problem felt like I wasn't making any progress until all of a sudden I realized, "Holy Shit, I did it!"

And that I need to have better plans and chip away at more problems and get my life moving forward!

i wish there was a like button for that top part.

this resonates

i can relate to both of you. i flirt around as much or more than others, but this week i've noticed that i have been more highly valuing platonic conversations. something about two people just calling and laughing their asses off for an hour was just what i needed. nothing against playtime, but you're completely right, the chat friends will stick around longer than the play friends. also, if either of you is still reading this, i'm around if you need an ear.

 

[AlwaysFara]

I’ve learned that I’m fine with closing my circle.

 

[hotwords229_A]

I also very recently learned that I have very pink nipples. I knew they were pink, but I didn't know they were VERY pink.

 

[longant]

xxxxxxx

 

[HBergeron]

I'm not sure I ever really learn anything new about myself anymore, but it does happen. While not recent, I've softened my hardcore stance on several subjects, but as far as learning new things about myself - I might have to visit the Dalai Lama to have that happen. I have learned a lot about online relationships over the last year and a half, and I'm learning to recognize true cyber friendships from those that just need a listener that could be anybody.

 

[sneb]

I just learned that I can invite my prof. for lunch anytime I feel like

Now you know!

 

[LikeableMe]

I’ve learned many things, and am constantly learning. I think a person spends their whole life discovering things.

Recently, I’ve learned that when I am exhausted, my anxiety leans towards irrational. I’m glad I realised this, as I now calm myself and wait until I’ve had some rest before considering/working out/acting on something.

I’ve realised that family aren’t always the tight unit they ‘should’ be - and sometimes they can be the ones who stand in your way.

That my family’s habit of standing in my way, and keeping me down makes me very stressed at times, and unfortunately the people close to me become the ones who deal with that - and then everyone walks away from me.

Once I’ve found a way to break through all these obstacles I’m facing - life - and myself - will be very different. I know who I want to be a part of that - if they come back to me.

I’m an open book - but I rarely give specifics.

I needed to get that off my chest

It sounds like you're on the right track. Being honest with yourself is the hardest part and you are doing that.

You are going to live a happy life.
