About People Pleasing:

Do you keep changing yourself and pushing yourself to satisfy everyone around you? Yes, you might have more friends if you change yourself to meet other's expectations, but you will have REAL friends if you stay true to yourself. It might be hard to accept, but a "friend" who always nags you and constantly asks favours and expects things from you, they are not a friend, they are a parasite. It's impossible to please everyone. If people get offended if you make boundaries, it reflects their selfishness instead of your own. Taking care of yourself and prioritising yourself is NEVER selfish, it shows you value yourself instead . Besides, not everyone is even worth pleasing in the first place. Manipulative people can immediately see when someone is a people pleaser or is too nice for their own good, and they will abuse these qualities to fit their own needs. The second you start prioritising yourself, toxic people will start disappearing from your life and you will start living the life you truly deserve. If you constantly feel the need to say "yes" to requests even though they are back-breaking, realise that you will have to pay for what you are putting yourself through. It is actually much easier to say "no" to something you can't handle or makes you uncomfortable instead of sacrificing your health, time and patience just because you felt the need to say "yes" constantly. It is time to take care of yourself and prioritise your mental and physical health, you deserve it <3

Daily reminder to all my anxious people to unclench your jaw

I really hated this girl in my class and we kept exchanging notes with various threats of violence on them but then on a Zoom call I saw that she kept a bunch of them pinned on her wall with little hearts around them and I got the biggest crush on her after that.

i love people who bring old big laptops to lectures. i’m being so genuine, it’s such a power move to walk into a room where we’re all on our fuckass macs and tablets and u take out your 10cm thick 25inch-screened laptop that makes the sound of industrial grade machinery while opening the oldest version of Word known to man

General rule of thumb when getting info from academics: hold reservation on putting too much stock on anything they talk about that isn't in their wheelhouse. Like if a guy who specializes in chemistry makes statements about history, stick those in the "ask a historian about this later" box.
