I just straight up walked out of a medical appointment. Stopped speaking when it was clear I was not being respected and that I was not being allowed to correct inaccurate information. Got up and walked out with her yelling through the building after me.
Like that was a miserable experience but on the other hand the power I felt???? Untouchable. Did you know you can just leave?? Happy Pride Month my friends!!!
historically, when my therapist has asked what I did last week, I've said "oh, nothing really. just hung out at home with my dog" or whatever
but yesterday, I told him about how a friend called me out on this--saying I'm always seemingly busy doing stuff, just always downplaying it for some reason
he then asked me to go through a day in my life
and he was like "kf, I was imagining you literally sitting at home, staring at a blank wall all these months, this changes everything"
I won't claim to be the world's most social person but it is a true statement that I leave my home for many hours each day and do in fact interact with people of all kinds
grandpas and grandmas! Walking around, talking to friends, playing Chinese opera loudly
people of many diverse backgrounds and ages
Just some simple things I miss about real cities. San Francisco feels like a very weird, hollowed out city on many fronts. I think if I see a bunch of kids at once in SF I’ll be like ‘wow’. Outside of certain SF neighborhoods (Chinatown, Mission, TL), the city just feels very homogenous and bland to me :/
