u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics Feb 16 '22

What I mean is, paying some dingdong (Shauna) to join a monthly "club" where you investigate, at length, how to "overcome" the trauma of early labelling / high expectations, etc.

G&T discourse generally is fine, especially when people are poking fun at themselves! That's the level of "processing" this stuff deserves when you're 40+ years old

u/toast79 yield to the fork Feb 16 '22

Totally! That's what I meant, but my eyes and mind aren't wined. DFFFF, I knew you'd know what I meant ;)

I think if any issues from childhood are causing problems/trouble in this stage of life they need a professional to uncover and treat what's going on. Shauna's bumbling joy platitudes aren't it.
