Deeply flawed

My deeply flawed posts are inspired by the feedback I received about my defense mechanisms 🫦🥶🏳🌪 🐓 from (group) therapy, friendships, romantic relationships, workplaces, etc. The mirror they held made me see this side of myself better. Since then, step by step, I have become more aware of these sides, making me more present to make healthier choices and break these unhealthy patterns gradually.

A special friend who shares a love for reading

Growing up, I felt discouraged from speaking at home, with feedback suggesting that being the youngest and a girl contributed to my verbal underdevelopment compared to my peers. Consequently, when meeting a potential special friend, I find it challenging to extend verbal invitations. As a result, I miss opportunities to express this need for connection verbally. That’s why I find it easier to express myself non-verbally🫦, for example through writing🖊—a skill I’ve honed since a young age. I often engage in writing, including crafting love letters.

Step by step, I am working towards verbalizing my thoughts. However, until then, my written words might serve as the most healthy bridge to close the gap between myself and a special friend.

For instance, I provide a written invitation to discuss challenging topics or invite him to join in enjoyable activities. Written invitations may also include fun questions to get to know him better.
