30 Of The Darkest Realities People Often Choose To Live In Denial About, As Shared By Folks Online

Your name checks out. ☺️

i have been reading your comments and now your my favorite person

A lot of parity laws have been passed, they're just not enforced. If you are not getting adequate coverage I encourage you to make a complaint to the insurance commissioner. Insurance companies have been getting away with this crap for too long. If you really want to fight it look up your national and state parity laws. Some apply only to certain diagnoses eg. OCD, MDD, Scizophrenia etc. But a lot of work has been done on parity.

Just out of curiosity, what is vertigo?

I'm always on the side of of trying to mend relationships if it's healthy and possible, but that's not always the case. Everyone involved must be willing and able to work toward the health of the relationship. When mental health issues, addiction, personality disorders, or abuse is involved, sometimes reconciliation just isn't healthy or possible. I don't think cutting people out of one's life should be a regular thing or something done flippantly, but sometimes there comes a point where it is healthiest to allow yourself to say the best I can do is remove this influence from my life.

the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb! you don't owe them anything just because you're related

You may not owe them anything, but they are still relatives, nothing will ever change that. And maybe you are not as good as you think, there are always two different visions to and versions of every story, probably none of them can understand the other story. But it's a free choice you have and can take.

That's a really good way to consider it

Ignorance is bliss. But that's not really helpful to society as a whole, and certainly isn't useful for addressing the big problems of the world (toxic politics and broken government, income inequality, homelessness, the environment, the prevalence of victim mentality without any awareness of how your own actions fuel your perceived victimization) its particularly counterproductive in fixing your own problems. We have two generations of american kids who were brought up to believe that they can do anything they want as long as they try while being sheltered from the real world. So they go 10's of thousands into debt getting an education that has a hiring deficit, and upon entering that real world they learn that, no, they can't in fact do whatever they want, but still they try based on the fallacy that they've already invested to much time and money, toiling away in dead end jobs which they try to build up as essential as more lucrative, and attainable opportunities are ignored.

This is b******t, there's no such thing as ordinary or normal, everyone is unique in their own rights, there's only what has been accepted as such that lead to that belief We are all different, you k**b.

Me, at age 34. It's been 23 years now with multiple chronic pain disorders. To add insult to injury, about 12 years ago, I started collecting autoimmune diseases...3 so far. I try to find positives, and one of them is that I've been gifted with the use of all my time for whatever I wish to do with it (within my capabilities, obviously). Seeing what others go through at their jobs makes me think I got the better end of the deal.

My mom 4 years ago...had always had a very healthy lifestyle too. She got into a car accident and came out of it fine but they found a brain tumor while doing a scan, long story short the surgery to remove it did not go well. Myself to an extent also, was diagnosed with IC about 7 years ago but mostly have it under control now...most of the time lol.

3 years for me, in my Mid-thirties

Two years for me as well

Me, year ago.

Trust, communication and respect are all parts of love. True, healthy love will respect, communicate and trust. However, love is certainly not enough. In a relationship, you will need to talk about money, finance, education, political views, social issues, plan for the future, etc. These things can break a couple or a family regardless of how much they love each other.

Don't forget action, what's the point of words when you don't show it

whats love got to do, got to do with it!

You're often the villain in someone else story, because everyone, without exception, is the hero of THEIR OWN story. This is basically what everything in modern life has become, every side of every issue thinks they're 100% correct, everyone else is evil, or stupid, or part of some grand conspiracy, and thus it's up to them to fix things in a manner that appeases YOU, while you continue to live your life completely unchanged, with the expectation that you deserve to have it better. Society operates on a paper thin veil of pleasantries, but once you're out of range of others, the petty, vindictive, victim mentality takes hold, and you tell yourself how wonderful and perfect you are, especially compared to this, that or the other one.

Can't denied

I like to remind myself of the villain-part. It helps with perspective on life and situations.

I'm one of those. I've had many relationships and even married for a time but I like being just me and my dog. Sure, it gets lonely at times but I really do prefer NOT being in a committed relationship.

Tell that to my parents

tell that to my father

😞

It's actually encouraged to do so

Yep, same.
