Let's have another good week everyone
internalized transphobia
:agony-shivering: I hate randomly thinking of myself as [bad language] holy shit. It's awful, it makes me feel awful, I don't think of anyone else that why so whyyy brain. I stop myself every time and remind myself it's bad, but idk. It still gets me a little bit.

no you're right
You don't think the solution to self hate is piling on more of it
I don't know if this is completely true, but maybe its hard for me to really understand why? Like it upsets me, and I guess reminds me of transphobia? I don't know it all feels a bit silly to get hurt by thinking a word
Thank you! I'm actually still feeling pretty good. Didn't derail too badly.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I don't have much to say, but very insightful.
This is why you gotta keep all the brainworms out and not even touch that stuff. It wedges its way in. T-slur used by trans people still kind of activates my mental sludge honestly, bad feel. Stay away from the worm deposits!!!
I'm glad that's a legitimate way to feel, I'm definitely the same way.
I have been doing good to stay away from wormy areas of the internet.
discussing a whole thing
Yea, I mean I know the kids are doing the reclaiming thing sometimes, and I think that's pretty rad? But when I see it, I just think of catty tripcode users calling eachother brainrot insults. It's seared into my mind, which is lame.
Thank you for staying away from the wormy areas of the internet, comrade. Glad to see it
ocd talk
idk what the exact nature of your thoughts are like, but as a person with OCD, ugly and awful thoughts enter my thoughts all the time that I don't agree with and that I hate. In OCD talk, we call these thoughts "ego-dystonic". I know that the thoughts are wrong and that I don't agree with them but still, the fact that they enter my head at all feels awful. The worst thing is, when I fixate on these thoughts and try to "logic" them away, that's only feeding into them and making them worse, they become louder and more frequent and harder to put out of my mind. It becomes a vicious cycle.
Now you may not have OCD, but no matter if someone has OCD or not I think it's worth it to remember that your thoughts alone don't define you (as sneak100 said.) People have all sorts of awful thoughts all the time that they hate. Brains are weird things.
I don't think my thoughts are quite the same as yours, but yes thank you
