Wild Gasmask queue openings are always an insight into who the whole "hearing vs. listening" thing.
Some of you know just where my words have gone when I speak. However, bc the confusion doesnt end after yesterday, please read: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqm39i (for the morning crowd)

@qdot I cant fave this toot enough. Its everything I could imagine potential wise. Folsom would be a great test bed
@Ironraptor (3/3) ...To have that balance, it does require detachment from the outcome. I dont think my gf understood that when I tried to explain that to her this morning, and I know others have made different conclusions about the detachment that they see from me.
@Ironraptor ....... and just outright screaming and metaphorically standing in someone's path so that they are forced to pay you mind. Im really against the latter one because my mom used nagging to get people to do things she wanted, and I just dont like the idea me doing that too.
@Ironraptor Right...but in what I am talking about its more general than that. I wasnt talking about conflicts and communicating within conflicts. I was just talking about communication in general. To me, there is a difference between persistance of getting your word across (because hey, sometimes people are busy or your email goes into spam).....
Approaching things with balance does not guarantee results, any more than you would going to an extreme to achieve it. If it involves the free will of others and getting people to communicate back? Good luck bc free will is a mofo.
I dont expect people to understand this. I cant feign any surprise when people assume my detachment is a bad thing, or they think that means Im just bottling stuff up. Nope... I just aint trying to waste my energy.
Picking my poison with time zones, but this time for KINKJOB. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html Queue is opening up on Monday and Im already prepping.
Re:last toot
I think the specific thing that makes it even more frustrating than it is inherently, is the irony that I have these kinds of things happen to me....And yet, I often a met with silence when I am trying to communicate to people about something I want or to ask the community for input on something.... Definitely an imbalance and one-way street.
one of the things that frustrates me about being so out of sync with everybody (friends, hanging put/social schedules, furries, geek groups, etc...) is just how easily somebody can push something on to me, without considering what I'm up to or what my schedule is. Then I have to be the b**ch because I have to put my foot down and say "Hey, Im stopping this. I wish that you had talked to me first." It also means I complicate things in some instsnces simply because people did it out of order.
@qdot Hahaha! Okay... O have to show this to my girlfriend. We had been making "mushroom stamp" jokes the other day.... hahahahahaha!!
// 9/11 bad thoughts
I admit. I really hate today. my thoughts about this day are pretty callus. 9/11 has been used for too many selfish motives, or as justification to stir hate (biggest example being Islamphobia).
More or less hide from social media every time this date comes around. Twitter is gonna be a load of crap. I will hand it to Mastodon that at least content warning / trigger warning cuts exist.
silly kink mention, CBT (SFW)
