Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer I'm glad it was helpful for you 😊💜

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes, I definitely do. I have a playlist with 275 songs, hahaha. I have all of Taylor Swfits songs on there and a whole heap of other songs @Jynx

Re: Tw Not Coping

Nice one @Birdofparadise8 sounds like an excellent boogie collection! I love bopping along the street hehe

Re: Tw Not Coping

So do I @Jynx 

 

I lip-sync the songs and use my hands sometimes, but when not many people are around, haha. They might think I'm weird.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yesss dance-stimming is so good. You know I used to feel the same about dancing in public @Birdofparadise8 but I learned to really not give two craps about whether other people think I'm weird. Because if I'm having fun, that is what matters the most. And the sort of people who think I'm weird and wouldn't wanna talk to me because I'm dancing, aren't the sort of people I would want talking to me. Plus, I'm never going to see 99% of the people I pass in the street ever again. So I let myself be me, be free, be a big ol weirdo. You should give it a try sometime! 

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm way too self-conscious @Jynx 

 

I worry about what people think of me all the time. I really do wish I was like you, though in that way. You just make that make sense. 

Re: Tw Not Coping

You can be! Just takes a bit of time, effort, and practice @Birdofparadise8. One of my fav Dr Seuss quotes sums it up: The ones who mind don't matter, and the ones who matter don't mind.

 

It's sort of about... doing the thing that scares you, and demonstrating to your nervous system that nothing bad will happen. Dancing in the street is a great way to practice 😉

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah okay I'll give it a go on my walk tomorrow night @Jynx 

Re: Tw Not Coping

Aww yeah get it!! @Birdofparadise8 😎

Re: Tw Not Coping

haha @Jynx 

 

What did you do today for dinner? 

 

Are you doing anything exciting on the weekend? 

 

I'm going to the footy to watch Carlton and have lunch with my aunt. This will be the first time they have been in the finals since 2013 so amazing.
