That is a creative gift my friend. Sounds like you are using it well. Carry on. So you do not have a toxic trait you have a beautiful gift. Perhaps honor it by acknowledging how cool it is to bring a smile and joy to others.

Thank you for this. For the first 18 years of my life I lived with a very negative family. I’m just learned of ❤️☮️cognitive distortions, and I refer to that list almost daily to change my thinking. You are absolutely correct it I don’t have a toxic trait!

Well done and thank you acknowledging your beautiful self. I came from a violent abusive family mental and emotional abuse as well as physical. Though it is not easy breaking free is real. I am living proof of that and sounds like you are getting that sense of personal freedom too. Bravo

Late 2023 and early 2024 I put out 2 online courses. One for people who want to learn and one for people who want to teach. I am happy you saved yourself

I wasn’t able to put a label on my dysfunction until i had healed so much of myself by myself. Then i realized what fire i had put my feet to.

Thank you Astara, it sounds like we were raised in similar family circumstances. A lot of violence, SA and general abandonment and misery. Good to know I have someone who fur understands. ☮️🙏❤️‍🩹
