so tired
will put off making xmas food to stop from pre-eating everything, best make everything on day before
house is fairly clean and tidy, which is good
was listening to YTs about dysfunctional families this morning, i'm not sure the YTs do any good, I end up slightly battier than usual and negative in outlook
Iโm from a dysfunctional family and I understand the dilemma. Sometimes listening to others stories can be cathartic because it make me feel less alone or shamed knowing it happens to others too. But the flipside is it can bring up memories and sadness. It a fine balance of to watch or not to watch.

I don't get sad, i'm years past that
I just get drawn back into the negative and untrue beliefs about myself that the bad people told me
it's normal and empathic for people to think they are the problem
You lack the confidence to be dysfunctional and socially inept ๐
This is true!!
I end up catatrophising and I end up feeling like everything I do is bad and dysfunctional or that i'm hopeless at human interactions
( i'm not perfect, i get lots of things wrong, i might even be mean sometimes, doesn't mean i'm a narcissist )
