Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Remember that those who put you down aren't actually any better or more valid than you; they simply believe their own lies about others in order to elevate themselves in their own estimation. 3:59 PM · Apr 27, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport You are worth having around. I'm glad you're here. 6:19 PM · Apr 26, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport If someone says something terrible to you and you don't wish to internalise it, imagine the words in physical form as rotting rubbish before you. Would you eat that filth? Of course you wouldn't. Put it all where it belongs: out for disposal. 5:11 PM · Apr 25, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport An unfortunate reality is nobody owes you friendship/romance. But the upside is you don't owe those to anyone either. You are allowed to end relationships that are harming you so you can find better friends and partners in people who actively wish to share themselves with you. 3:37 PM · Apr 24, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Do not allow those who seek to undermine your boundaries alter your definitions of said boundaries any more than I would allow a potential foe to tinker with the Enterprise's shields. Your shields are for you, not the satisfaction or whims of others. 4:18 PM · Apr 23, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Give yourself permission to fail on the chance that you will not. 1:54 PM · Apr 22, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Just because someone has been cruel to you doesn’t mean that anything they said or did was right. Replace every unkind word and every belittling laugh that replays in your mind with my voice telling you that you are loved and wanted in this world. 2:29 PM · Apr 21, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport An unfortunate reality we often must contend with is to recognise when it's time to end a problematic relationship before the choice to do so is removed from us. 1:56 PM · Apr 20, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Toxic positivity doesn't help anyone and can be actively harmful when used to silence people in distress. You do not have to perform positivity to be worthy of kindness. 3:51 PM · Apr 19, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Maintaining your shields is a good habit regardless of current threat level, so when threats do arise you are ready. It's neither "paranoid" nor "pathologically hypervigilant" to be introspective about what you expect from others. Don't let the privileged dictate your boundaries. 5:11 PM · Apr 18, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport You are not obligated to continue social discussions with people who do not engage in good faith. You are allowed to walk away from fallacy-spouters, goalpost shifters, and others more interested in arguing than comprehending. 4:58 PM · Apr 17, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport You are braver than you imagine yourself to be. I am certain of this because you are still here even after everything you've been through. Please continue to be here. 3:52 PM · Apr 16, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Truly great things are possible when we abundantly give kindness but also require that we be given kindness as well. 2:16 PM · Apr 15, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Don't fully believe any apology that doesn't come with an accompanying change in behaviour. Ensure your own apologies are likewise accompanied. 12:32 PM · Apr 14, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport When someone demands that you prove a well-established fact solely for the purposes of their entertainment in arguing with you, you are not obligated to take on that mission. You can put up shields and warp away to many better tasks elsewhere. 3:40 PM · Apr 13, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport You may think your coping methods are strange, but it's entirely likely someone else is doing something similar. Never feel ashamed of these behaviours; celebrate them for the small victories they help you attain. I'm proud of you for getting by in your own way. 3:49 PM · Apr 12, 2024

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport May you all find a safe space today to be your true selves, where there is support and kindness in abundance all around you. 3:38 PM · Apr 11, 2024
