Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English3·10 hours agoThey say they want to improve, but I kinda feel like they aren’t even self aware enough to know what they want.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English1·10 hours agoThanks for taking the time to reply with all that.
There is a lot of avoidance going on despite them vocally asserting that they want to get better and are willing to try new ideas. But when the rubber meets the road, there is nothing but excuses.
I’ve tried asking deeper questions that require introspection, just to hear “I don’t know how to answer that.”
It feels like a lost cause, but a big part of what got me out of my own pit is that I don’t easily let things go. (Not bragging, it gets me in trouble a lot, too)
I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind and let you know if it helps!

Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English1·10 hours agoTo be honest… I’m not sure. I have considered it though.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English3·11 hours agoYeah, it extends to psychologists, too. This is something to consider. Thanks =)
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English4·11 hours agoIt’s not that kind of lack, it’s more like… They are angry at how their life ended up, but can’t see how or why they got there, as it relates to their own actions. It’s all someone and something else’s fault.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English2·11 hours agoNot word soup at all! It makes a lot of sense.
I think the issue is that I’m trying to reach someone on a logical level because due to our history and their current situation, I’m unable to connect emotionally.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English3·11 hours agoLiterally the most important question. This is a great point, and I need to give it more weight in this situation.
The problem is that I usually get short, angry replies when I prompt a why question.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you teach or inspire self awareness?English10·11 hours agoThe problem is that this person almost seems to have an aversion to introspection.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Does anyone else feel like they are male and female equally?English2·11 hours agoI can feel that. When I couldn’t get my estrogen refilled I started to feel crappy, and everything was much worse than it really was. I could see that making someone feel dysphoric.
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Does anyone else feel like they are male and female equally?English3·11 hours agoWhen I first started to transition, I felt like I was 100% female, but after a while I just realized I’m not not a guy, but I am definitely a woman, lol.
It’s hard to describe without relying on stereotypes, but I feel just as comfortable in a group of ladies as I do with guys. (Generally speaking. Gender toxicity is very confusing and off putting, and I have a hard time getting along with those types)
Can I ask how long you’ve been transitioning? It took me about 8 years of social transition and 6 years of medical to figure it out.
FWIW, I think all the years of male conditioning have definitely affected how I feel my gender.
edit: fixed timeline. It dawned on me about 2 years ago
Nay@feddit.nlOPto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Does anyone else feel like they are male and female equally?English5·12 hours agoThat pretty much describes it. But I don’t see non-binary as a third gender, just absence of a binary. I very much fit into the male/female binary.

Nay@feddit.nlOPto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Does anyone else feel like they are male and female equally?English8·13 hours agoYeah, that fits pretty well!

Jesus fucking Christ… You really think you have the high ground with this kind of thinking, don’t you?
Hate only breeds hate. When you dehumanize your enemies, you already lost.
This is YouTube as well
Nay@feddit.nlto News@lemmy.world•ICE AGENT FLED FROM ANGRY RESIDENTS OUTSIDE NEW YORK SCHOOL — AND GOT IN A CAR CRASHEnglish22·18 hours agoYeah, they are. Dehumanization is not okay “if my side is doing it.”
This is some wisdom right here. Thanks! 😊
