I'm a lesbian in college and have watched your videos for a while at this point. the topics you cover always feel like such mirrors of the internal struggles I have day-to-day and the ASMR is lovely too. Thinking of myself (and most other things tbh) as multifaceted has been a weird but illuminating lesson to learn.. thanks for your videos and congrats on 2k!
Omg thank you so so much, I loved reading this, it’s made my whole night! 🤝 if I can send one other lesbian some positivity I can literally call the whole day done 🥲
Dear Aunty Alex, I relate very strongly to many of the things you describe in this video and it seems like you've got far more realization about it than me. I'm a little neuro-spicy (undiagnosed) and sometimes feel paralyzed by contradictions and tend to get offended when people aren't clear in their communications. I keep myself petty isolated. My theory of healing was if I accept myself then I'll be able to accept others, but that's appatently not so easy. You spoke about the opposite approach of accepting others, then self acceptance will come. I like this; do you have any pointers to therapy types or books that discuss this? How to relax my walls; how to find people's ambiguous communications 'cute', rather than abrasive. The grace with which you discuss this stuff awesome. Thanks so much.
Paralyzed by contradiction is such a good phrase- I feel that immensly!! 👀 ugh ambiguity is a real struggle to encounter, I relate! Quite frankly what has helped me most is just reading Jung and other kinds of theories about how we are networked and connected combined with communicating clearly. That way other peoples behaviors don’t have to rattle me so much. If I’m overstimulated I’ll say it and let people know I’m going to take a walk, that sort of thing! Like being slowly okay with giving that part of my vulnerability away and then forgiving them for their need for an outlet too. So a vague answer!! But Jung, eastern philosophy, and exposure therapy lol
Hey Aleeeex!! I've started a new job and it's being a bit stressful so you have to know your videos are accompanying me for HOURS each day 🫂🫂🫂soooo I'm so glad you are posting more these weeks lmao. Congrats on 2K also!!!! But stay niche for the OGs 😈😈 About what you are saying, I'm learning about myself that I'm very brave with some personal issues but an awful coward on others that are not that different. Or, I - THE BIGGEST hater- , am perceived as sweet and easygoing in job places (which is crazy). I do think every aspect of this is true about myself!! And some people are able to experience all the sides, but others don't have that joy, which is also part of the fun 😊😊
Yes we are like little prisms! Also lol thank you, I am desperately trying to stay niche and part the waters of audience! That’s part of why I’m scared to do a role play, it would be fun for me but I don’t want to attract an audience who will want that all the time, it’s quite the balancing act!!
Wow so many things came to mind with your last 2 videos. I find it hard to believe that anyone is shy 100% of the time. I'm outgoing at work because the topics are predictable and I understand the topics well. However, I'm shy in other social scenarios where the topics of conversation are unpredictable. I think there's layers, or a spectrum of colors rather, to our personalities. Regarding your previous video, wow, I went down a rabbit hole pondering the topic. I work in software development for AI. I see AI chatbots as an image of humans. It makes me wonder how AI, built in the image of human interaction, is going to impact our social skills and emotional intelligence long term.
Yes! What we encounter changes who we are! I really am fascinated by encountering images and other kinds of “intelligence” so to speak. Thank you for this comment, I agree we’re highly complex and nuanced!
