I keep working on making him understand that it is not possible and would not be a good idea, but it is uphill work. I'm glad he doesn't talk about accepting love, though. That would be too embarrassing. (And he shares my dislike of Brene Brown. That woman rubs me the wrong way - I have tried watching a TED talk with her but I had to switch off after a few minutes.)
I don't think she's the greatest thing since sliced bread but I found her helpful for me. What helps one person may not help another I have vulnerability issues, severe ones. I think I appreciate her neurotic take on things which is funny because I absolutely wouldn't want a T who was like her. I didn't watch her TED talk so I can't speak to that.

It's like those ASMR videos. I had someone suggest them to me. Some people feel a weird sensation and they love it. Other nothing. I listened to a video and I couldn't make it through ten seconds, I wanted to reach in and punch her repeatedly to make her stop doing whatever the hell it was she was doing.

I just closed the window instead O.o I tried a couple of those videos and they just pissed me off.

Yet apparently millions of viewers love her whispery voice. Just thinking about it is like nails on a chalkboard :: shudder ::
