If someone comes at you negatively, telling you what they don't like about the way you look, act, talk, think, and then starts suggesting ways that you could change to meet their standards–back away and get out. This is not a person whose approval you need to be cultivating.
This scenario includes but is my no means limited to romantic situations. It could be friendships, work relationships, educational settings, casual interactions on line. Whatever it is, it's wrong.

My friend Wendy McKellar had a new piece. #art #localart #threeriversca
I know what you mean about being a blue dot! I was racist as F as a younger person but finally saw the light and it baffles me that others continue on and seem so proud of themselves. Our only fellow Democrat neighbor died yesterday, and now there is no one to share news with. Sad. I am grateful for this group on CS!
Tomorrow is the Manatee Festival in Crystal River FL. Had planned to go on my way to Key West but plans changed.
I’ve snorkeled with them in that river before. Absolutely magical.
It finally looks like we're getting the government we deserve. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to give Ford a second term will deserve the poverty it will bring down on them. Unless, of course, you're one of the donor class who'll take even more of our hard earned money.

I was adopted. I've known, forever. It was no biggie as I grew up because my parents couched it as me being chosen. My birth mother was always praised for her selfless sacrifice.
