there are a lot of posts out there that are positive and healthy coping mechanisms for handling the holidays. this is not one of them :)

i think there's like. going to be times in your life you will be stuck in a social situation that you cannot escape from gracefully. i do not know why the internet doesn't believe these times exist. it's not always just that your physical safety is at risk - sometimes it's legit like "i just don't currently have the energy or time to put in the effort of responding to this." sometimes it's a coworker you hate so much. sometimes it's just like, fine, you know? like you know you can handle your aunt when she's cheerily horrible, but if you actually set a boundary around her, it's going to be weeks of fallout with your father.

i don't know why people think the answer is always just "cut them out!" or "don't let them get away with that!" because ... the real world is tricky and complicated. i think kind of a lot of us have an internal "radiation poisoning" meter for certain people. like - i'm talking about the ones who are absolutely giving you gradual ick damage. like, you can handle them, but you'll be exhausted.

and yes. you absolutely should listen to your therapist and the good posts about handling others and set good boundaries and take care of yourself. prioritize peace.

HOWEVER :) ...... since im often in a situation with a Gradual Sense of Ick person i cannot just "cut out" of my life (without losing someone else precious to me) - i have sort of developed the most. maladaptive form of mischief possible. because like, if i'm going to have to listen to this shit again, i like to have a little bit of private fun with it.

now! again, i am physically safe, just mentally drained by this man. you should only do this with people you are not in danger with. which leads me to my suggestions for when your Unfortunate Acquaintance shows up and says oh everyone pay attention to me.

my favorite word is "maybe!" said as brightly and happily as possible. whenever the Horrible Person starts in on a topic you do not want to go further with, particularly if they make a claim that you know to be inaccurate, do not respond to it. you and i have both tried to actually argue with this person, and it hasn't gone well, because this person just wants the drama of an argument. however, "maybe!" gives them literally nothing to go on. it is incredibly disarming. they are used to people having some response. they know they can't prove what they're saying, and maybe! treats them like the child they are. it dismisses them in the politest way possible.

i like to say maybe! and then, in their stunned silence, immediately change the subject. this is because i have adhd and i will have something unrelated to talk about, but if you can't think of topics fast enough, i recommend just pointing to something and saying, "isn't that lovely?" because fuck you let's bring in some positivity.

by the way. that second trick - of pointing to something and stating an opinion about it? - that just works on its own, like, 70% of the time. i picked it up from teaching preschoolers. it's an intentional "redirect". it stops children crying and it also stops grown adults from finishing their explanation on why women belong in kitchens. dual wielding!

keep it silly for yourself. i absolutely do not care if people think i'm fucking stupid (it's more fun if they do) and as a result i will purposefully misunderstand things just to see how long it takes them to realize i've completely removed them from the subject at hand. when they say "women aren't funny" i get to be like. "which women." "all women." "all women in america?" "no in the world." "like the mole people? the people in the world?" "what? no. like, alive." "oh are we not counting the mole people?" "what the fuck are you talking about." "you don't believe in the mole people?"

similarly, i play a personal game called "one up me." my Evil Acquaintance literally knows this game exists (my family & friends caught onto it and now also play it) and it always fucking gets him. i don't know why. you have to be willing to be a little free-spirited on this one, though. the trick is that when they make one of those horrible little bigoted or annoying comments they are always making, you need to go one unit weirder. not more intense, mind you - just more weird. "you don't look good in that dress." "yeah, actually, my other dress was covered in squid ink due to a mishap at the soup store." "you shouldn't wear such revealing clothes." "wait, what? oh shit. sorry, your son tears off strips when no one is looking and eats them. i swear it was longer before we left the building."

the point of "one up me" is to completely upend this person's narrative. we both know this person likes setting up situations where you cannot "win" and then they really like telling other people how badly you handled it. in a usual situation, if you respond "please don't say something that rude", you're a bitch. but if you let it happen, you're letting yourself be debased. they are not usually expecting door number three: unflappably odd. because what are they going to say when they're telling everyone how badly you behaved? "she said my son eats her dresses" ".... okay?"

if you can, form an allyship with someone whomst you can tagteam with. where they can pick up on your weird "soup store" story and run with it.

the following phrase is amazing and can be deployed for any situation: "oh, be nice :) it's the holidays!" i do not know why this works as often as it does. i'll say it for the most random shit. i think this is bc most of the time these people know they're being impolite, they just like to fight.

godbless. when in doubt, remember that you could always start stealing their pens.

the whole point of this is - if you can't escape. maybe see how long you can just be. like. a horrible little menace.

#this is objectively bad advice #don't listen to it protect yourself and do real work on yourself find one of the good posts i've made about this #but also. u know. if u want to have fun while u do the work of setting boundaries #.... it IS fun #i will say that my fear of him went SO down after i just started. fucking with him.#bc i used to get SO fucking upset #i'd spend WEEKS arguing with him. tearing my hair out. sick with anxiety and dread and anger about all of it #and now i just LITERALLY do not engage #instead i'm like '' haha :) mole people" and get the HELL out of any tense conversation #i kind of think some of these people are literally addicted to drama as a form of connection #they like the rush they get from arguing #but those arguments are incredibly damaging for me #so like..... i am in the process of literally rehabilitating this person to figure out how to find connection thru #NORMAL CONVERSATION #he doesn't get it yet #i also do talk to them like they're preschool kids lmafo . ''are you using a safe and kind voice right now?''#'' do you need a snackie? you sound a little upset. let's have some hummus and come back to playtime when we feel ready''

DREADLOCS STORIES

So... You know, I love wearing my locs ( it will be almost 1 year the next month I have made this decision). And today I decide to talk about "the treasures I found in locs" ( aka all theses things I can found in my hair, yup cause you know what I mean)

*not mine, image from pinterest*

Well, there are so, so, so many pros for having dreadlocs.

For example: there are few hours ago, my mom asked my lil sis to detangle her hair, cause she needs to this and this before going to her hairstylist... And in my head I was like" OMG, oh yeah clearly one of the best decision I ever made in my life"

So, yeah I can't wait to record videos and create more post about this for real. And I know, it's just the beginning of the journey, but what is good about da, is I am always learning. I mean even if I have growd up surrounded with people with locs (friend and/or family), reading and watching about the topic, the best still getting your own experiences.

And now, it's winter. Not officially, but my sibbling are doing the decoration for the xmas tree, And I bet I will found some spines or leaf very soon in my hair, LOL

And speaking about this, I use to find stuff in my hair. Yeah you listen to me, and read very well.

*pictures are not mine, from pinterest*

[NB. This is approximatively, the way I look: the lengh, the size, the shape and the form of my hair. I lost my phone, I don't have all files in my cloud, -this is an other storytime- but in waiting for... bring back to the topic of the day "the treasures I found in locs"]

So, here a short list from the more "obvious" to the less:

1/ not the the most glamourious one but dust (most of the time,because I forgot to protect my hair *no pride of this one*)

2/ I use to forget my hair accessories in my hair ( like my crunchies, pins, or my hair ring) *yeah I am this kind of person, you can juge me for the previous one, not this one ;p*

3/ Because of the weather, I can find leaf or branch in my hair. Yep, I like being outside and I'd like to say this is Nature

... but it made terrible confusion with the others spacies. Cause, for real, I think bugs think I am tree, cause it's not such a wirdo thing for me to handle with bees or little spider around me, or in my hair

*Look how much this confusion is really disturbing, this an other dimension, an other univers*

And now, thank the last one I am here.

There are few days, one my coach said me" you have something in your hair", and me "oh really". Then,...he found popcorn ( and know maybe it was on my beanie, or clothes maybe on my bed *lmfao* but I watched movie the last week end *i cant' stop laughing rn*)

So, yes POPCORN is for real one theses treasures I Found until now. I wanna share this fact with you, I don't think I am the only one here, and because I don't really read/listen/watch funny side testimonials.

So don't be shy, let's share our stories ;p
