This is EXTREMELY real. I would have people regularly tickle or touch me even if I told them not too. Once a teenage boy around my age essentially chased me becuase I wouldn't let him pat my shoulder and no one said or did anything.
Your wishes and autonomy aren't respected because wittness aren't allowed to be people. Just "one of Jehovah's Wittnesses"...
hate hate hate the jw greeting of physical contact. i dont want to hug 30 plus people every single meeting ugh. even worse is when youre walking past someone and they like squeeze your arm or rub your back like no!! i dont want that!! please!!
to be honest its most not about the touch (though when im already overwhelmed and stressed it doesnt help) but my lack of autonomy.
i feel like i cant say no. i feel like i have to hug everyone and i hate it so much. sure, i could refuse, but i know id be made to feel bad by the jw wanting one.
idk i just wish i could go to a meeting without getting touched for once

Recovery from intensely restrictive and abusive upbringing is like: I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m comfortable with ambiguity, OH MY GOD SOMEONE TELL ME THE RULES RIGHT NOW OR I WILL DIE. AM I ALLOWED TO DO THIS? WHAT DO YOU WANT??? AM I IN TROUBLE FOR ASKING??? TELL ME THE RULES, IM SO SCARED, nvm I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m okay, this is fine, I’m comfortable with ambiguity
Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.
The internet has ruined me. Everytime I see "yt" I read it as 'white'. I could be looking at anything and I'm like "What did white people do this time!?" assuming it's about racism even if there is a YouTube link right there. Why do people write it like that anyway??
The weird thing about moving out and building a life where it’s okay to go hang out in the living room is that sometimes you still spend all your time in your room

In other news, they’re making what seems to be a new Neeta and Jade series (It has an intro so I assume there will be more coming) and they live together in the same apartment now.
