This thread isn't about me ... today. Stay tuned in Dumpling Fires for blog posts and complaints at later dates Lol Dumpling Fire ... Im not changing it.

So I think my original plan with this thread was to give everybody a compliment or ... really to tell you something positive or a strength that I, an outsider have noticed about most of you. Ive seen what most of you share and the struggles and doubts you have braved the boards with and for the most part I think you all deserve happiness, support, and the ability to feel that you are worthy as individuals. Im wishing all of you improved mental health because I know its hard out here and sometimes the tiniest bit of kindness has gone a long way for me when Im having a tough time. Sometimes I wish someone would just ask me ... what's wrong and is there something you want to talk about just because. We all have our own personal trauma and I think its good to check in from time to time. (as an internet friend, dont make this weird)

So ... you seem pretty unpacked here except that you believe you're feeling too arrogant given your circumstances.

Uhm ... more interested in what is on the left side of both images

This gnome is petty AF to go in my gum pack and remove all the individually wrapped pieces and leave me 5 in my own desk

Im going to take a moment to count to 4 and then kindly ask you to get out of my office in this thread GTFO THERE IS NO 4

Im not saying look at what makes you better than everyone else, Im saying look at what is positive about your current situation even when your thoughts seem to be dominated by all the negative. Being able to appreciate the good things even during the bad is an exercise in mindfulness and finding your personal strengths. Having your own home, securing a job that allows you to be independent and self sufficient, having the freedom of not being burdened with unwanted children, having a support system of friends and family .... having all of these things while young are positive things that you can be proud of. Or dont. Having a bad week and allowing yourself to fully feel it can be therapeutic in its own way as long as you dont allow yourself to stay in the bad feelings too long.

How does narrowing it down to those choices makes you feel?

You should believe it. In fact lets work on that. Now Im going to pat your arm gently but appropriately to help you learn that I am here for you.

so think small ... really small. For instance ... you're not homeless or strung out on cocaine or riddled with STDs

So ... this is bold statement especially without context. While I do understand that a lot has happened, even if we exclude the state of the world and the pandemic, I think it would be helpful to break this down just a little more. Feeling overwhelmed is quite common and a lot of us are dealing with something very similar. I think some of us tend to focus on what negative is happening and affecting our lives. I think it would be helpful to take a deep breath and think about all the positives you have going for you. It doesn't have to be much, you can start very small. I'm going to recommend you do a little homework and come up with 5 things you are grateful for and while doing so I'm going to ask that you refrain from sighing like an exasperated old lady as this hinders the effects we are looking for.

Things like this are never fixed for good. Please feel free to return when you would like to discuss what I spoke about previously.

So ... I understand you have your own personal experiences that have caused you to create walls around yourself ... perhaps in an effort to safe guard yourself from being hurt by others? I just want you to know that trying to protect yourself from pain is perfectly normal and self preservation is understandable. So when you're ready to discuss any of the reasons you have decided to take such a serious stance on protecting yourself by not letting others in, this thread will be here .... well probably several pages away from where it is now. *please note as you are most definitely already aware of, I do not have mod privileges and am currently unable to protect you from the reactions of others should you choose to share your feelings. However we can most certainly work on how we choose to react.

Im having trouble accessing this visual representation of your feelings, but I want you to know that any and all feelings you may be dealing are valid and important. You are worthy as a person to have your feelings considered and valued

Are you having trouble comfortably releasing your stools in public bathrooms? I just want you to know you can feel comfortable discussing any desires, questions, or insecurities surrounding anal stimulation. These feelings you may be experiencing are quite natural and perfectly human. If you would like to explore this with a partner I can certainly facilitate a couple discussion in a manner you feel safe and secure with.

We could also expore some VR options if you're open to that. I have to warn you though that the models have unrealistic facial proportions especially in terms of eye size. We could work our way up to getting completely comfortable over the course of a few sessions.

Do you have any artificial feelings you wish to discuss? More importantly, do you trust yourself enough to be open and honest about your own feelings? I have play doh, sock puppets, and coloring pencils in my play therapy bag if that would make you more comfortable

Could you show me on the doll where they harassed you?

So ... if you're using boobs as a coping mechanism to cope with the anxiety and trauma of the times then we can certainly discuss those things. However in the meantime I can give you a few suggestions to acquire an artificial set.

So I dont think I can talk more about either of those issues with you anymore than I already have. How did that job at Wendy's go?

So first let me make sure I understand everything correctly. 1. You are feeling some personal frustration about the way this year has been going thus far because nothing really detrimental has happened to you? I would like to say that being able to look back on the unpleasant things that have happened and finding yourself better afterwards is a very admirable quality that not all of us are able to do. As far as worrying about the next storm approaching, having some anxiety about the future is perfectly normal especially in these uncertain times. I would encourage you to take a moment to practice some mindfulness techniques when things are going great. Take some deep breaths and allow yourself to enjoy the calm. You appear to be resilient and that is something not to be taken for granted. 2. You're annoyed at the way in which your son chooses to interact with his friends over PSN. I think this too is a normal reaction every parent who is actually involved and monitoring their children's online activity should feel. Diverting his attention to other activities sounds like an excellent way to scale back on those negative interactions 3. Do you want to talk more about the cake? I'm not seeing anything to suggest you're coping with cake. As long as you're not eating all of it alone in one sitting ... in a dark room ... crying ... naked in xxxxl shirts that you have burst out of it and can no longer put your feet in shoes because the fat and lymphedema of your legs have made wearing shoes impossible.

.... fine ... who ate the fucking gum I had in my desk?! Whole pack of Orbitz Sweet mint ... I have like 5 pieces left you little shits

Does it help with the itching?

I dont know enough about AOT ... in fact all I know is there's some huge ass naked dudes walking around with no dicks and apparently they eat people ... then some of the hero kids apparently learn how to become protagonist giants also without dicks .... and I assume they fight each other and eat potatoes I feel like almost all of the shounen anime worlds are worse because they're in earth leveling constant crisis ... so unless I'm a main character I dont think I wanna be in one. Then they always have poorly written female characters so I'm not really trying to a set of boobs for plot development.

Artemis Fowl - 7/10 If you've never read the books and have no idea what you're getting into, I think its a decent movie. Having read the books though ... there are some problems and it kinda makes me think its an episode of The Odd Squad if somebody gave PBS a big ass Hollywood budget
