The journey begins ... or continues ... articulating the rollercoaster that is my life

Hello,
So sorry to interrupt. I am sorry to ask a very embarrassing question. I found this thread by searching the word Christopher Robin and learned that you watched the Christopher Robin movie more then a year ago. A movie that means much to my vet. Wanna talk? Sorry, was a post more then a year ago and very off topic as I often am.
 
I don't think you sound manipulative, conniving, not generous or like a hypocrite. You have a right to ask people to respect your boundaries, and this woman does not seem to be very respectful. I don't know why your partner doesn't send her away everytime she comes to your house because he knows how much pain and distress her presence causes you. I wouldn't want my partner to chat/spend time/do whatever with a woman that I don't like and who does not respect my boundaries. That is completely natural.
No one can be gracious and allowing when they feel threatened. I certainly am not. But I get that you feel bad about this, I often am annoyed of myself when I am a little too tense and want to be more chill. Unfortunately chill people with PTSD have yet to be found.
Hugs to you❤
 
Wow, I sound so angry, manipulative, conniving and not generous at all. More like a total hypocrite.
You don't sound like a hypocrite. You sound like a person in an impossible situation who has chosen to use the "kill her with kindness" route rather than the "oh mi god I want to kill her" route. Could it be called manipulative? Sure. But in a case like this I'm not sure that's a bad thing. You are changing the parameters of the situation so that it decreases the stress and helps the other people involved feel better. So.. it looks like a win to me - -especially if you can be ok with it.

Home and quiet or hanging out with family is where I will be extending and focusing my energy this year, I suspect, mostly.
You say this almost like it's a bad thing. Why? I mean, who wouldn't you want this kind of life? Home, hearth, children -- it's something you've never had before and something you've been working for years to achieve. It's ok for you to enjoy it. :hug:
 
I will answer. Processing, processing ...:-) meanwhile ...this is the painting I m working on ...

Just so ailienated! I have one ally, just one, in this world, and my children, and a friend. Maybe more, not sure.
I don't like how the world is going. Don't like the general "tone" of our misanthropic self hating, glib and pathologized culture.

I am going to stop participating. I'm unpopular, as per usual, I want to make pots and live in the bush, grow a garden, make "art" and get ready for my grandchildren; there are none on the horizon, but unless we get put in death camps or something, they are sure to come along, at some stage.

I'm ALWAYS unpopular! I can't help being a smart, white, hippyish very mumish person!
I've lived a VERY unconventional life. And I read a lot, study a lot, see patterns a lot. So many people are so fearful and judgemental! So ailienated from themselves! Hating their own culture, their own people, trying to be perfectionistic or virtue signally. It feels very inauthentic,and suspect to me. People trust authorites, why, why, why???? Or they trust ideologes without deep reflection and consideration and research, WHY????? Wide and deep research, not just popular, mainstream vested interest, the easy but-glib views.

I've always been ailienated, because of my abusive and neglectful, hippy upbringing, my much higher-than-average IQ (for what it's worth, it makes me ill equipped to"fit in) my Aspie over-sensitivites, my extreme "fringe" status, my over concern for the peaceful and vulnerable " underdogs" types, like myself.
I am so discouraged right now! I feel like there is no where to go! No acceptance, only vilification and more marginalization. I'm not supposed to feel good about being me. Why does my brain/mind and social positon constantly keep me on the outer/unacceptable? I think it's the Aspie/IQ of 145 thing. It's the overarching "difference" in thinking styles from just about everyone. I'm steeped in natural cultural synthesis, my primal side is intact (7 babies, born without ANY high tech intervention, myself in FULL control, an oxymoron, but true). I lived on the road, as a modern gypsy-type for the first 5 years and 4 babies, of my "adult" life (still a teenager, but a mother). My parents shook me out of the nest, very early (I was a "difficult" see "high-functioning" autistic and traumatised child)
Passed through all the excessive teenage type ideology already (teens, twenties and thirties) had a very large family with a pretty "tribal" part native American/ Australian (possibly some hidden Aboriginal), anti-social but very political guy (VERY virtue signally) and we were renegades.
I've been to uni and studied humanities, cultural theory. I've grown up studying religion and cultures - my own independant Anthropological studies, psychology and intergrated medicine.
I've done a lot of shamanic-type music and social work. I live alongside people who, like me, suffer from the same sorts but different marginalization, Aboriginal, mixed families, mixed families of single mothers, drug addicts etc.
SO DIFFERENT but hurting, poor, disenfranchised.
The lot of the Aspie-auti, to feel so terribly, socially, out, never to "fit in", never to feel socially acceptable, it's too exhausting to keep trying, believe me, I've TRIED.
I want employment, but HOW?
 
I think one reason why current popular "virue signally" ideology is so annoying and aggravating for me, is because it reminds me of me; my youthful, immature self. My quite unhinged and ungrounded youth.

I gave myself a lot of grief, for things I was not responsible for. I took on all the feminist, the racist white guilt ideology. I allowed myself to be exploited, manipulated, overworked, exposed and fawned to violent and abusive people because they were from a "minority" so yay diversity!

I couldn't see the individuals for the ideology.

I never learnt some very important "female" skills coz feminism, and being an Aspie that needed extra gentle support for complex tasks.

Instead I put thousands and thousands of hours into perfecting my vocal and performance skills, and ad hoc social work.

I ministered to, and took in homeless teenagers, aboriginal families in crisis, homeless mums and kids.

I had a motto "You never know how close someone is to the edge (suicide) so be kind and helpful" and it was because I lived, perpetually, "close to the edge", myself. I desparately wanted to be loved, but that didn't really happen, (or did it? I can't tell) until my late thirties.

Now, I am so burnt out and sad, from giving and tending to others, for so long, and having so little to show for it all.

I remain reduced to the margins, but I don't think I want to be part of the mainstream, though I would enjoy the opportunity to live where I choose. I don't have that luxury. I do want employment and inclusion, but not at the expense of my soul, my values, my integrity or my health.

Now, one has to avoid the media, unless one wants to witness constant racism against one's own racial group and sexism, against the gender group that has always been filled with some of my favourite people.

I despise the inherent hypocrisy and overzealous virtue signalling, the cucky, sucky, self abnegation so many men and people of my racial group are demonstating, these days, because I used to be like that, and IT WASN'T GOOD or right.

It nearly killed me, had me put myself so far down, NOBODY respected me, or thought about my needs, because I didn't respect myself or think about my needs.

I was a good person being sucked dry, having the life force vacuumed out of me by my own self abnegating beliefs, so mirrored by so many ideologes and PC social justice warriors of today.

I fear it will happen on a large scale, what happened to me.

I ended up losing nearly everything, including my life. And it was a WHITE MALE who saved me. The kindest, most honest, smartest, bravest, person, I know. So screw off with your hatred, racists and sexists! I know! My kid's used to tell me that I was racist against white people, but NOT ANYMORE!

I used to think I was a feminist, but not anymore! I believe in treating EVERYONE with dignity and respect, according to how THEY treat me and other's with the same. If they don't, I have AS MUCH RIGHT AS EVERYONE ELSE to criticize and call out hypocrisy.


I LIKE being me! I'm smart, white, hetero, a MASSIVE breeder, I'm poor, unemployed, "disabled" (with a psycho-social disability, I'm told) I'm creative, artistic, super sensitive, caring and by virtue of my neurodiversity, pretty much an outcast and invisable, now.


I don't need anyone condescending to me. Telling me I can't say things because the selected minorities won't like it. Sure, I have to put up with shitty stuff said about the gender and racial group of some (most) of my favourite people, CONSTANTLY, but I CAN'T speak my truth, oh no, because it's not popular.

Apparently I must be some kind of racist because I don't put up with racism against my own racial group.

Oh, and there's a free for all on Christian slandering, but don't criticize anything to do with Islam or Judaism, no matter what member's might be doing that hurts my cultural group, that has to do with their cultural narrative and sense of entitlement and their own segregation.
Oh no, they are out of bounds! Every minority EXCEPT white Aryan people is out of bounds (and yes, on a planetary scale, we ARE a minority and soon to be much more of one, if this self adnegation, virtue signalling, madness keeps up).
Oh and DON'T criticize the very, mega, rich, if they happen to be of Hebrew origin, even, if they are cause of so much upheaval and war, at our expense! Even if they ARE white (because they are not properly white, like us despicable Aryan whites, us and our privilege!). NO! I DON'T AGREE! And I have EVERY RIGHT TO!

Sure, we are in need of awareness of economics, human rights violations, and who to trust, no doubt about it.

But things are COMPLEX and CANNOT be reduced down to generalizations about people based on racial identity and gender. It's just STUPID!

Holy crap woman!
that was the best rant I have ever seen you do!!
Because you are angry.
Because you are letting out how you feel
Because you are calling out the hypocrisy you see in the world around you.
Because you are having an opinion and you feel the right to let that opinion be heard
I LIKE being me! I
this this a thousand times this!

You are speaking for you --- for the glorious, angry, opinionated, loving, caring mums that we all knew was there all along. Yay! ???
