Waking up new
Question: is changing your name to fit your new self-concept overkill? I know people do it all the time for various reasons… my logic tells me that my waking up and not feeling like my mother’s choice of a name (a human that never wanted me in the first place), a name that I never hear anyone say out loud (I was raised to be neither seen or heard), a name that was my biological father’s first wife’s name (my father was 20+ years older than my 17 year old mother). A name attached to so much trauma and grief. I have worked long and hard to move past these events and this name never belonged to me anyway. When I was small, I would write stories with a pseudonym. I ran it through an anagram server and the first word that came up was “lovable” ♥️

I know you. You dropped all these adorably funny sandwich puns the last time about this pic I dropped in your post. Honest opinion.... No. As long as the name isn't outlandish. Like Fabiola Contessa...... The 15th. Look, you have some bad ties to your current. So, I say bring on the new name 👍

I don't feel that it is overkill. I believe as many other have said, do what makes you happy. But do consider that your name doesn't have to be representative of your past. You could change your representation of it to whatever you like. Forgive those that hurt or wronged you, discover your new and evolving self. You will be beautiful in whatever name you pick, not because of your name but because you are happy and free

If your own name is a trigger word, change it.

Dating
I’m always surprised when I hear people talking about using dating apps, they mention any period they’re on it and being disappointed it takes so long to find a match they actually like I’m not surprised by their disappointment but I’m always surprised by them being in some kind of hurry like they...

There's a simple "I don't want to" between "I'm nearby" and "I'm busy." There's a hidden "I won't support" between "lean on me" and "be strong." Between "the only one" and "you're complicated" there's a quiet "not up to the shoulder." Inaction reflects a choice: I'll hand you over to someone else (edited)

Parataxic distortion
Do people think that personality tests like Myers & Briggs test, or dating apps are an example of this parataxic distortion. I do understand that people have limited information especially on the first date, first text, or first swipe. (edited)

How Do You Feel About AI?
I don't mean AI art here. But rather, utilising AI as a substitute for companionship, someone to talk to, however that might look to someone. (You know what I mean.) Have you ever used AI to supplement a friendship or relationship?
