work vent, transphobia 

I am starting to notice angry or irritated folks purposefully doing very passive-aggressive microaggression-y shit regarding my gender when they are angry and I've started to realize that it doesn't bother me as much, at least today.
Other days it does.

work vent, anxiety & dissociation 

I realized yesterday, with great help from my toyfriend, that I have a very lesser intensity of dissociation that I tends to come out with regular day to day anxiety.
I have a tendency to be "spacey" and not all there. I run conversation on autopilot and when something pops up I'm not expecting I flounder, often being unable to parse or respond.
I've never before now associated it with dissociation, but…

… it definitely is to some degree. It also has been keeping me from using healthy methods of grounding and anxiety reduction, as when stress hits, I just end up spacing.
It feels like "objective third person", when a heavier episode would be "omniscient third person" for lack of better metaphor

Which is only a comment on my distance from myself fwiw
