Remember that old saying, “ Children should be seen not heard.🙃” My parents either would complete dismiss what I was saying, always played devils advocate, or cut me off and speak over me. I have a hard time listening at times; other times I am a patient and compassionate listener. I can be in my head, overwhelmed with problems at times. I was a single mom- going to college and working and hardly had any time to listen to my children. It’s sad. Listening and really hearing ,is something many people do not do well. We all need to work on it.

My problem stems from being terrified of saying the wrong thing and upsetting my mother - the punishment from one wrong word could go on for months or get thrown back in my face years later. Speaking out and expressing my own feelings and needs is still very difficult.

This helps explain my mother. She won't just say what she means and mean what she says. She won't just ask for what she wants to happen, she dances around it and manipulates a scenario or conversation. She has needed help for decades and I'm figuring this out as an adult now. It helps to understand her and others and heal from those people and the garbage from my past. It has been absolutely exhausting! Learning to recognize how to communicate effectively and maturely is so important. I feel as though it is vital in growth, and acquiring good relationships with healthy people moving forward.

My ex and his friends would constantly talk over me. It was very frustrating. Now I have new friends who respect me and I have no problems being heard. It makes a difference who is listening! Thanks for the great videos.

This is unbelievable timing, I was just wrecking my head and feeling like I'm failing myself over this realization just now. Thank you so much, I love your videos!

@10:09 We're in an argument with ourselves - it's all in our own minds as we tell ourselves someone else is being cruel to us - when actually we're being cruel to our selves by allowing the cruel person to be in our lives.

I'm 60 years old. I'm 23 years sober and the youngest of 6 children. They still think of me like a loose cannon, yet I've achieved a respectable height in my career, I'm a homeowner, etc... It's so hurtful to know that I cannot trust 1 of them to speak candidly without judgment or gossip. They've never explored a relationship with me as a friend, so they don't even know who I am. Accept it, yes. Hurtful, yes. Whenever I think I can, it boomerangs like a bad nightmare. They're loss, I guess. I'm a hoot to hang around with... and a lover of life, humanity and my animals. I definitely relate to the part about stammering over my words when I'm triggered..

I get ignored a lot. I think it's because tend to speak very quietly and meekly. That's probably why people cut me off in mid-sentence. Its frustration.

I started being heard when I stopped talking. I kept saying I didn’t want to do a certain job but I kept doing it anyway. I finally got fed up and quit. They’re hearing my silence now. A person I thought was a friend was using me for her own greedy needs. I finally got it.

I found that I would always dance around what I wanted to say/sometimes I didn’t even know what I was feeling, I was just upset and wanted to take it out on someone (I know, it’s bad). I realized that I didn’t know why I was really saying what I was saying/feeling so bad, or I didn’t even feel as bad as I was saying I was. My family tends to exaggerate negatives in every conversation so it took a while to 1) stop doing that and 2) figure out what I actually felt. Someone close to me now calls me out everytime I dance around issues or make big deals out of things that don’t make sense, and I have gotten a lot better at learning what I actually am feeling, identifying triggering situations, and calming myself down so that I can actually say what the issue is. It was really difficult and I’m still working on it, but having someone there to call me out in a loving way has been so helpful for me. Especially because I didn’t even know I was doing it so often.

~I spent many years being so frustrated in trying to communicate with my mother~Then when texting & email came along, i realized i was being perfectly clear~She was either just skimming my messages, or simply not wanting to hear me, because i go back to read exactly what id said & how id said it~

Written communication provides clarity and prevents any misunderstanding unless it is contrived. Which is why critical reading and writing skills are so important.

Realizing that the only connections you had were with people that (unbeknownst to you) enjoyed hearing about your toxic relationship and gloated in your agony and now that you’re healed/healing and no longer oversharing or sharing much at all and have exited the toxicity, the connection with those people are fizzling out too. Leaving you with room for nothing but all new [healthy] relationships... sigh. Finally excited about the future ahead!!! It’s been a long journey. 🙏🎉💕🌷🌈🦋✨✨✨

I can feel safe being alone

Expectations MUST be managed. Especially those unrealistic expectations we bring to relationships with people who do not have the interest and/or capacity to respond with respect.

I suffer daily from wondering why I just can’t get over not caring that ppl don’t believe what mommy dearest and an x of over 20 years did to me. I just want to remove myself from all family and anyone who says it wasn’t that bad.

You may be down. You may be very down. But you're not out. You can get your thoughts & your life back. Try the writing. Or just read. It really helps. Emotional upsets can cause problems with thinking. This is why writing helps. Any type of writing is fine. You can keep it to yourself. You can rip it up if you need to. There are many who cannot speak out nor leave the situation. At least write to get your thoughts back. Upset may still be there, but your thinking will calm & begin to make sense again, or maybe for the first time in years.

So true. I did feel disconnected from people, I did feel unimportant. My Mum is still giving me the silent treatment right now so I know that I wasn't heard growing up, which makes not being heard by my parents now VERY TRIGGERING for me.

Agh. I needed to hear this. My communication gets so jumbled when I’m in pain.

Sure other people cannot fix our internal problems and trauma, however they do add to our distress and anxiety and trauma by doing behaviors that are careless, inconsiderate, lacking basics of consideration and basics of human dignity. While I do believe that our feelings are ours to manage, it is very difficult when someone is continuously provoking us, gaslighting us, saying one thing and doing the opposite, All those behaviors can be quite triggering and quite painful for anyone, let alone for somebody who has had a lot of trauma. A lot of us who have been hurt from childhood trauma, & dysfunctional relationships we become sometimes doormats for people who take advantage of our vulnerabilities and take advantage of our inability to stand up for our self and be firm. And sometimes even after we tell them clearly what is bothering us, what we need the person may not be capable of understanding us, or even having any capabilities to meet us in a place of understanding, care, and compassion. You may ask for breadcrumbs from that person and not get it because in their tern they’re unable to respond in a healthy and loving way and give you support, care and understanding. Sometimes what we are asking for is a very rational and reasonable thing the bare minimum in fact , yet in many instances it may not be a reasonable thing for the person across from us. At times the person we are asking for basics is so unhealthy they can’t even meet the very basics in order to sustain a relationship. And then you come to a point where you realize if you lower the bar any lower you be treated like a doormat or as if you didn’t matter and didn’t exist. I learned that ignoring small red flags about a person and being manipulated by them to forgives them.., that later end up being a major headache for me. So now if something feels OFF and not right I do not ignore it.

This is why writing works better than talking when very upset. When very upset it is hard to put the words together. And it's hard to hear ourselves try to explain & get an unsympathetic or worse, response from the listener. Ever since the telephone came into use, there has been an increase in people taking communication for granted. When wounded, an animal gets quiet & still. They know better than we do, what to do !

This has been a HUGE hurdle in my personal growth! Still working on it, but proud of how far I've come so far.

Write. A list. Song lyrics. Feelings. Thoughts. You're way much more than the words used against you. Writing has been shown to help people release distress and get thoughts and feelings to ease. Keep it private if you have people in your life who are going to further criticize and judge you for sharing anything. Write to gather your thoughts and calm your emotional distress. This is how we learned new things at school. You can learn new things. You can get your mind and your life back. Writing and reading can help you give yourself the words you need to hear from others, that they would say if they weren't so affected by their own experiences.

Excellent teaching. So many of us haven't been taught to speak properly. Or many children aren't being taught this,and it's very very important.thank you!💯

I feel silenced. I used to make a lot of jokes and felt free. Now I feel my family tend to misunderstand me and look at me like stop, don’t say that. I do play the victim at times, but I call my self out using humour. It can be very frustrating and I’m constantly second guessing myself, asking myself do I have hidden motives, should I speak, am I being inappropriate just because like most comics when I’m being funny it’s often a little provocative, but I’m looking at the funny / ridiculous side of life. UPDATE: I am glad to say that having stepped out of a job I found too stressful, focusing on goals via the ‘self authoring programme’ and validating my own needs, insisting on expressing myself, and over coming mild depression with light, exercise and 2000mg DHA omega 3, things are getting much better. A work in progress.

I was financially betrayed and lied to about legal matters

Excellent! I feel like people get caught up in finding the "why" which directs the focus off personal boundaries! There is no magic bullet!

sometimes i really cant be heard because im manipulating so i let others say someting because im to scared for rejection or conflict 😬

For making yourself heard, I recommend assertiveness training. It's one of the best things I've ever done.

The algorithm came for my jugular and y'all finished me off, damn. Gets super complicated when they're your caregiver and there's no other supports. :(

Great timing. I was thinking that I need to focus on improving my poor communication - to listen better and be heard. I bought a couple of books on the topic yesterday. Today, this video feels like validation for that decision and action!

Wow. This was a powerful one for me. It’s amazing how you can open my eyes and make something like this so clear for me. Understanding why I behave certain ways helps me to have self-compassion. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏.

I don’t really lash out at other people when I’m dysregulated. I mainly do it to myself. I don’t call myself terrible names anymore like I used to. I’ve learned to nip that in the bud. But I think it’s because I don’t have the patience for myself when it comes to my darn flashbacks. I wasn’t even thinking about that situation, I the bad situation wasn’t even on my mind to begin with. And my own flashbacks and reactions to them are just like nails on a chalkboard to me. I can’t even stand my own reactions to the flashbacks.

I felt this way about my job, like I was constantly trying to convince them that my skills were of value and I could do more, and kept thinking if I educated and advocated and begged, they’d come around. Finally it came to a head when my manager told me not to do something that would make the task faster and benefit the project. I went over her head and the response was, that I need to be more flexible, when she was the one being resistant to a new practice. So I quit in hopes of finding a place where I don’t have to fight so hard to be heard. Still not sure if I made an empowered or dysregulated decision. But there it is.

First step is believing that healing can take place...

This is what I needed to hear. I think I am masking needs and wants which is manipulative because my narcissistic guardian punished my needs saying I was selfish. Her wants and needs dominated my own. Her comfort came before my physical needs. I was denied food, medical care and deep cleaned the house daily. I was a real Cinderella. Even with my husband now, I think I subconsciously feel that my needs are stupid and he's going to think so. I need to be honest and hope he won't minimize my feelings.

I come up with the perfect response, hours later in my head. It's a really difficult thing for me to bravely & sanely respond when I feel "yelled" at. Having a loving friend is a big help in helping me understand how the dynamics might be different than what I see/think/feel. I guess it'll be something I have to work on forever but it's better.

My son has ADHD, he's little but I'm trying to teach him to listen to me when I want his attention. I get on his level and make eye contact to let him know I need him to listen especially when correcting behaviors. Some people with ADHD struggle focusing on and hearing others at times and it might seem their not interested, but they are capable and very loving, it's just hard for them to adjust.

That had so many layers. Thanks for being direct about where I can take responsibility. Thanks for pointing out patterns that can be recognized…. The topic reached out and touched on so many correlated topics. Great video that promotes awareness.

I have experienced this situation across communities and neighborhoods that take on dysfunctional characteristics. It's like a dysfunctional family at a larger scale. A large proportion of the local population is dysregulated or toxic, and it forms a runaway motion. Things get worse and worse even without major economic stress. People are flashing back all the time, everyday interpersonal public dealings are never really separated from the flashbacks, there is projection all over the place, and much of the local environment becomes intimidating or menacing. Makes me wonder if I need to move/leave. We talk about leaving our origin family and acquaintances and seeking recovery, but some of us are in a situation of needing to leave our hometowns and communities for the sake of our own recovery. I remain intimidated by the notion of leaving. I know I am not likely to be heard by caring, healthy people where I live. I've mentioned similar dynamics in work environments in earlier comments. These are dysfunctions that can exist right up the scalar hierarchy of social organization, and I believe adults who grew up in dysfunctional families are acutely aware of it. In that sense we have self-perspective and can define both internal and external toxicity, but we also feel every little trifle (micro-aggression) that emerges in everyday life in our communities.

Besides other things, your hair looks very good i the last videos

Thank you for all your work and content.

Just the title is helpful !

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear your message today!

I can listen to this women all day 😊

It's interesting that I can identify the unavailable people in romantic relationships but not in friendships....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Honestly watching this video made me feel heard! I'm not even trying to be clever or funny....it's actually TRUE. I just had a long standing trigger for me get activated today. I know this trigger well cuz I've struggled with it and was just raging privately because I wasn't being heard in my family. I've struggled with being not heard my whole life. I'm the youngest of 5 and there's 14 years between me and my oldest sibling and we're all very good at arguing and debate. SO from a very early age my ideas were dismissed by more developed minds. VERY often today, at 56, I STILL get triggered when someone sends me a signal "I'm not listening to you" or "Your point is irrelevant" or "Please shut up and go away". NOW not every single time do I have that reaction. I've worked hard to become "untriggerable" but there are days when I'm down on my sleep, when I'm struggling with something and someone sends that message and man it goes all over me. I'm usually triggered to anger but thankfully I've been able to notice when that happens, separate and analyze why I feel this way and then work on processing it. I LOVE what you said Anna about it also not being all about them. That we need to recognize the ways in which we're communicating and how that might be triggering to someone else. Adjusting the way were saying something can often be the key that helps the other person to hear us or at least for us to feel like we're being heard. Just because we're triggered doesn't mean we're a victim. Sometimes it's our own fault. Another thing that happens when my "not being heard" trigger fires is that an inner part of me, some aspect of my personality, get really hurt and angry and I experience messages of "You're not standing up for us". I don't have multiple personality disorder or any sort of schizophrenia. It's not like I actually hear a voice saying that. No it's more of this sense that "Dang it, I've let myself down yet again" or "I failed to stand up for myself yet again". But often it's because I'm slow to anger.....very often in life I'm REALLY slow to anger. I have a long fuse and often don't have the "on target" retort when someone says something that triggers me. Often I think of the better things to say days or even weeks later. Anyways thanks again Anna - you're the best and really help me feel like I'm somewhat normal. 🥰

Thank you. Needed this The dysregulation happens especially with curveball questions.Then I think of a thousand things I wished I’d said after the fact.

I still notice fairly often people monopolising the conversation and not listening to what I have to say. If someone speaks at the same time as I do, my tendency is to let them speak, because I hate it when people talk over one another. Under normal circumstances the other person will later do the same with me, and that feels fine. But I can't shake the feeling that with others I'm somehow not communicating confidently enough, or something like that, because it keeps happening. Maybe it's that these people are rude or too self-absorbed, but if it's something I'm doing or not doing, I'd really like to know what it is and how I can change it. Going to listen to your video on standing up to opinion bullies and see if there are any tips there, although what I'm experiencing really isn't a matter of someone bullying with their opinion.

There's so much shame I hold for not being able to say what I want people to know, and for not being heard, I cannot explain... Your channel is a relief, it's like listening to poetry expressing the same pain you felt, I feel seen, enough, that in this moment I don't need to be heard bcz whatever I was feeling and wanted to express-is in it. And there's a mutual understanding and acceptance and acknowledgement of who we are. Thank you

it was so hard for listening to you but healing at the same time thank you love u

Aah I wish you had french translation so I can share it to my people !! ❤❤ you are an angel

Helped me with how I was feeling but also helped me understand why my brain goes into disregulation when talked to people and they are overwhelming me. When someone is stressed out and yelling at me or talking very abruptly to me. I’ve noticed I am getting better at how I respond. I did look up literature on my illness and CPPTSD & PTSD and there is a direct correlation.

I hold it all in and at some point I have a breaking point and I explode and then I cant stop and get so loud because I'm tired of nobody listening. I hate when I do that and I'm working on it. When I was a kid my mother won't let me be heard and she ignored me. Even now my mother can talk for hours and I don't even have to respond she just keeps.talking. ugh

Thank you so much

My whole life has been this way. And to this day people walk over me as I don’t want to hurt their feelings as I can’t be direct, when they hurt my feelings all the time and I say nothing. And even if I was direct, I’ve met soo many people who are the sort wouldn’t listen anyway as they think I’m not capable or they are type A personalities.

Inability to listen to others is not necessarily self centeredness, but possibly due to their own trauma and inability to put this aside.

This. Thank you Anna ✨🧚🏻

Catching yourself in this pattern is the key!

Spot on. It hurts (tough love) to hear it once more even though I had realized it before, that I have done the overwhelming talk many times, and I have been trying to be careful about this for a long time now. Though it hurt, I am more than willing to listen to this video and I did to the end. Because you know, we can not change the past, but we can heal from it, which is good news, as you mention occasionally too.

My husband’s 13 year old son watched me pee in the mountain woods after I told him to stop following me when I was looking for a place to go (there were no bathrooms for miles and I had to go sooo bad). After I found a private spot and was midstream, I looked back down the trail and my husband’s son had moved to a spot where he could see me and was staring right at me. Husband was oblivious and admiring a waterfall. I was upset.. I felt violated. My husband made excuses for him and showed me NO empathy, sympathy, or understanding as to why I felt violated. He even said my “feelings aren’t facts…” in a rebuttal to me telling him I felt unheard and unimportant. I’m withdrawing from the marriage and spending more time alone. If I’m not important to him, I’m not going to prioritize him. I’m so upset and don’t want to be touched or even looked at. I want to be invisible. I have an aces score of 10. Husband has an aces score of 6 or 7… we weren’t taught how to do relationships well…

WOW ! this is so MUCH improved from your first version of this talk. You are an excellent writer, and now you are greatly improving your presentation of what you are reading. Did you get coached? I want coaching, tool

I want to acknowledge how much you have helped me with these videos, CCF. I was watching them alone one day, then shared with two friends that had similar issues/seeking help, they didn’t seem ready or interested (yet?) but the third person overheard some of it as it played at my house and he said it helped him, made a lot of sense but he gets antsy and has trouble sitting through anything that is any length. Which short video would you recommend I pass along to him to help him deal with his attention span/disinterest that seem to hurt his social interactions? Thanks so much. 💐I get a lot out of the comments here, too.

Thanks Anna, a very good video

Thank you.

The family as a whole discounted anything I said. They said it outloud.

My ex, who has C-PTSD, did exactly this to me. I started watching this channel so I could better understand them as a person, but it’s made me realize that I might also have childhood trauma that would make me so attracted to this person in the first place. I have to wonder if adults with C-PTSD find each other to date and end up repeating similar cycles. My exes cycle is to shut down and push people away, and my cycle is to chase and then get abandoned by people who push people away. Bahhh. I appreciate your channel so much. I write down so much of what you say and reread it to myself and it’s so helpful.

I am ALWAYS misunderstood. If I do speak I want to say it so fast I stumble on my words and can't get my thoughts out. In text I always have people saying "What?" Huh?" and my one friend actually said, you are a horrible communicator and laughed. I felt like crap after that, but I am trying to slow down in conversations, but I still get tongue tied.

So helpful ❤️

Still thinking that you give the best advices ever in order to handle the unhandable, so thank you a lot for ^_^

I'm thankful for the timing of this video. In my prayer time this morning the Holy Spirit revealed I don't have to beat my boyfriend over the head with things (because he listens). I don't know why I do this behavior of emphasizing things strongly & repeatedly. Your video is a great tool for my self-awareness & change. Thank you. 🙏

Neither of my parents drank or used drugs. They had no excuse to be deaf, but they were.

I know how it feels not to be able to get a word in edgewise....not a great feeling!!

What do I do when I feel invisible? I've watched a lot of your other videos but it just seems like I'm invisible to everyone. I feel so helpless most of the time because no one really talks to me that much. I'm much more introverted and don't really like being fake. But I have this best friend and she's literally this big extrovert. She does have social anxiety but not as much as me. Everyone approaches her a lot more than me even though my facial expressions isn't rude at all. It's like everyone avoids me like the plague. I get so jealous or rather envious of my best friend and that it's caused a lot of resentment towards her recently. (she doesn't know this about me) I feel so disconnected and I just feel like disappearing from this course I'm currently taking since its a 3 year long course. It's like I don't have any other friends too. It sucks a lot because these days she's been absent due to an injury and I've been so alone so I'm trying to detach myself from her presence so that when she's absent I won't feel so down and depressed due to us being best friends and then her suddenly disappearing one day. Gosh this is such a mess. I Don't think anyone can even understand what I'm trying to portray through my message. My brain is such a big chaotic mess but one thing I do know is that I have to concentrate more on myself and my well being

Labels, judgments, advice instead of understanding, criticism, violence - silence - indifference or disbelief from those who you told - this is why we write. When others cannot or are not there for us, we can be there for ourselves, through writing. if you cannot write at the moment - read a little. Sometimes when very upset, listening to music can help - but can also further activate your emotional distress - sometimes the stuff we listen to reinforces an idea we have about ourselves that was told to us that isn't helpful. This is why writing to explain or get our point of view across is often more helpful than talking or listening.

Have you done a video on managing a relationship between someone with CPTSD and ADHD? My biggest trigger, the one concept I obsess about over and over all my life, is feeling heard and understood. If someone like that has an ADHD partner, their distractability feels like rejection. How to move past this and adjust expectations while also getting your needs met? My question is more about marriage than a dating situation.

I feel this way sometimes...still to this day!

I need to take the dating course

Thank you

GOD LOVES YOU ALL ❤

Hey hey, I just found your channel and was wondering if your courses are recommended also for the following: anxious attachment style, codependency, separation anxiety & premature attachment I’m having trouble finding options on these topics for men.. and would really love to heal these topics within my subconsciousness to align with higher bodies of love more consistently. Thank you in advance !! :)

5:38 uhh yes!! I've gotten this feedback from multiple people and it's what pisses off my boyfriend. I have been hearing the rambling more and more in myself and it angers me because it's the excuse my boyfriend uses to not listen to me

Sometimes no one can hear you. No one wants to know. So this is where the writing comes in. It brings your brain back to a point where you can begin to think realistically if you tell yourself the truth, in writing. The reality is, this is a scary world. Parents are people. They become overwhelmed. Not excusing but acknowledging that what happened to you or for you is helpful. Realising they were afraid too, but couldn't show it - helps to be more realistic. Many people were in a family in name only. When there is neglect and violence and verbal punishment - it is less of a family and more like being in a cult.

I feel like my mother is gaslighting me all the time because she is living in her dream instead of admitting she has a shit marriage. She would say things like “your father is a nice guy with bad temper.” “You don’t understand, you’re just a kid!” Mom, that’s called verbally abuse and I’m a 27 years old woman. Wake up!

I work in a very difficult job and serve many character disordered individuals and sometimes they are completely unreasonable and complain about me although I am busting my buns trying to serve everyone. My supervisor never backs me and never hears me when I try to explain my side of things. I feel her coldness and zero compassion towards me. This is something I lived from childhood, for example I got pushed by a bully at school when I was around seven and came home with bloody knees...my mother's only words were.. what did you do for him to push you.... I get very triggered with injustice and I cannot wait to leave this job. I am planning an early retirement because I am so exhausted and ready to explode at times.

if you can be convinced you have a "disorder" - then you can be sold into the idea that you need to be different than how you are. Sometimes a small amount of sedating meds helps - instead of booze. Talking when you're so upset is nearly impossible. This is why is better to write. You can bring your thinking back by writing, instead of talking. In hospital if you cannot speak coherently - which you can't - when very upset - you can at least write. Even if only to yourself. Sometimes we are not able to leave our circumstances. Pills that calm help somewhat. But writing is the thing that brings your ability to think, back. And if you cannot meditate - is ok. Many of us who were left alone when we shouldn't have been - cannot meditate. You can pray (ask) for help from the God you don't believe in - for many who suffered/ are still suffering - is hard to believe. Sometimes, impossible. But writing - even one word at a time - somehow eases feelings when you feel you cannot tell a soul what is going on. And sometimes just writing a list of hopes, wishes & dreams is good - and gives a respite from heavy feelings. Writing your worries away is something that's been done by humans for thousands of years. Remember - you're more than the words used to control you. You're a whole person - with hopes & dreams, terrors & quietness within you. Acknowledge the good as well as the bad, when you can. And just write a little - even non-emotional words can help to soothe feelings when it all gets too hard.

This is so raw it hurts lol. But ultimately in a good way because it so real. Alot to unpack and integrate. God Bless. Thank you.

I don't know if I'm less reactive than I was, or not. I feel better but maybe that's only because my mother is giving me the silent treatment. I feel like I might be able to react a little less explosively if she calls me detached from reality or entitled or any of the other labels that have been directed at me, but it's hard to know. I won't know until her current silent treatment ends...........

Sometimes I use the “ I feel like you don’t like me or care” type phrases with my estranged spouse. Is it only manipulative if that’s not how we’re feeling? How can I rephrase it to not be manipulative? Thank you for this video! I’ve been struggling with this a lot and often times with others who have a sort of CPTSD. It’s difficult for me to know if I should keep trying to love them and improve communication or just accept that they might just be self centered and move on.

It amazes me how many people are so self centered in society today... A sad 😢 commentary...

Some people are just determined to misunderstand you...

If someone could only afford one course (or to attend your in-person event), which course would you recommend?

Hi! Sorry for not commenting on the topic (watching right now), but I was just wondering how you get the blurred background?! Thank you

I apologise in advance for being boastful. Apparently I am smart. I'm told so frequently,but whatever knowledge I show will be completely dismissed by the same people. I have a hobby and in my area there are several centers offering versions of the activity. A friend is pushing me to use my connections to help her adult offspring getting an internship so they can become a teacher. Friend told me they were in communication with center A in location 1. I looked into it, but center A didn't know about this. Friend showed me the emails and I told her that this center is in location 2. She refused to believe me and Google it to prove me wrong. Then she all of the sudden was late for an appointment. Interactions like that leaves me so confused....

Anybody else see what Will Smith did at the Oscars as a great example of dysregulation? He was very dysregulated in those moments!

🙏❣️✌️

it is written in new testament Jesus said don't judge. not just others. include yourself. you'll find your way back. words are used to help or harm. write or read helpful words. do no harm. to yourself, with words. we are never just a word. we are so much more than a word/s used against us. remembet this when you feel like giving in.

I get so triggered when I know that I’m being lied to by my X

I feel like will smith want to b slap folks; I’ve dealt with too many narcs of every kind. Throughout my life urrrggghhh….. thank you so much for all you do ❤️🙏

Ughhhhh
