Rebuilding alone

Hey 👋 It’s okay for you to want to be seen by people for who you are and not judged or mocked! Idk why that triggers some people for you to say you want to feel accepted—that’s a totally normal human thing to want.
I think I understand what "Metropolitan Nomad" meant. Im guessing that he or she has felt judged by other harshly just because of a situation out of their control. They don't sound like an idiot but maybe their response wasn't the best.

I also think I understand what "Parrotthepolly" was getting at. He/she seems to want trauma survivors to stand in their own truth and not feel second class but the response was over the top and may have cause "Metropolitan Nomad" to go into people pleasing mode.

Its six of one and half a dozen of the other in my opinion.
 
Thank you to both Lord Flavius (love the Blackadder homage) and to Rose White. I wasn't going to respond to this thread because Im still seriously pissed off at Parrottthepolly but what has been said is correct.

Having said that though this nasty little incident has made me realise that I'd be better off elsewhere so this will be my last post on this forum. Thanks for the support and to the aforementioned individual take a good long hard look at yourself.

@Metropolitan Nomad already had people pleasing tendencies, forgot that was the correct term. Yeah I don't know how to deal with people who can't just be themselves since I mostly stopped caring in a way and learnt to let loose.

The concept of trying to fit in makes sense but unnecessary unless planning and escape but since this isn't a life or death situation I can't fathom people pleasing at the time.
