Changing or challenging the narrative

edited March 2022 in General

If you start feeling some kind of way, about anyone's post, or comment, I suggest you look at what made you uncomfortable and ask yourself, "what is the benefit to the poster?" When you see someone focusing on the behavior of others, it's easy to take it personal. That, can make you reactive and the value of the post is toast. If you feel someone is trying to twist words, trust your gut. Don't buy into it. The attention just fuels their ego and extends the damage. Likewise, if you see posts that focus on a particular person, that moralize about this-or-that about the person, like prices charged, consider it the personal attack that it is. I know we all feel a certain kind of way towards most posts and comments. I ask you to be critical and thoughtful in order to protect yourself from the harmful rhetoric.

  • @Gallowglass ~ fwiw, I personally think you're part of what makes our community the wonderful place it is. I love that you're open about your journey, the bumps along the way and the lessons learned. My only sadness, as far as you're concerned, is how far apart our journeys have placed us so I'm only able to send word of my well wishes instead of delivering them to you in person. πŸ’“

  • Hey! Thanks! But contact is just some of the decoration. The frosting and the cake are the important parts!
