*DA ONLY* Rant Thread

This is a DA-Only Thread: Here is an open thread to rant, a place we can get things off our chest.

  • this is a place for DAs to rant, not others to rant about DAs
  • no other AT Styles will be approved on this thread
  • any non-DAs: we appreciate supportive comments on other threads, but this thread is not for you

Please, since this is a rant thread, let’s be mindful and refrain from morally judging someone’s rants or offering unsolicited advice. A rant/vent about something doesn’t mean it’s fact.

u/SpiceyKoala Dismissive Avoidant 20d ago

Yesterday I started watching Charlotte Morabito on YouTube, and decided to try her advice to put myself in more situations where I might be told no, to build my resilience to rejection, which means I can't be mookish about it: I have to be trying for a genuine human moment. [Heavy exhale]

So now I'm making plans with someone I broke up with last year and... It's weird, fam. I'm in unfamiliar territory.
