How I feel, I don't share with people I care for. This is easy because I refuse to be close to anyone. #selfpreservation

A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin

Many who would not take the last cookie would take the last lifeboat.

We're all just filtering the world through the lens of 'me, my, and mine.' #SelfPreservation

This #necklace started when I found tiny #KeyCharms. Imagining them with #StainedGlass pendants full of greenery brought me directly to #TheSecretGarden from my childhood.
I chose #IvyLeaves, added some leaf charms and connected with the symbols of the #InnerGarden, #SelfPreservation and #SafePlace.

#Remorse Is Holding You Back

https://www.buddhistdoor.net/features/remorse-is-holding-you-back/

#Regret often stems from a desire to escape future punishment or #negative consequences. It is rooted in #selfpreservation; an instinctive reaction to the fear of #repercussions that might arise from our #past actions. Remorse centers on acknowledging the hurtful impact that our actions may have had on others. It is a more profound, empathetic response that arises from a place of compassion and understanding.

I am learning to live my life without my uncle, my grandmother, and my grandfather. No, it’s not because they have passed away; they are still alive. I am surviving and benefiting from my anxiety with them because I can’t be okay with them anymore. I can’t see any possibility of being happy with them anymore. My survival is important; it doesn’t mean I can blindly depend on them.

In the interests of self preservation I’ve enabled the filter on toots regarding Ukraine. I want to stay informed, but by crikey it’s doing my MH no good whatsoever.

Time for a break.

...after over a year of refusing to lift a single finger to help his next door neighbor in the least kind of way, while they screamed in terror for their babies and were burned alive at his side...

the ONLY reason #Sisi of #Egypt is now "working" to preserve #Palestine is because he doesnt want #Trump as a neighbor...

its just #selfpreservation ...the pos, and only Palestinians 🇵🇸 should determine whats to be done and how...

#fuckALLempires #selfdetermination #freePalestine <from everyone...

Think "Liberals" who preach 'Go-along-to-get-along'

Think "Good people" who stay on places like X for the engagement

Think "Friends" and others who say 'Don't rock the boat'

Folks who would've led the Nazis straight to the attic to save their own skin--or worse, profit from it--are not to be trusted lightly. Be careful out there.

I guess making sure I’m not scheduled to be on a flight in the path of a fucking SpaceX Starship launch is now something I have to plan for. #SelfPreservation #ThanksElon

Staying apolitical and cautious when talking at work. So far, so good. A goddammit miracle in self-control for a loudmouth like me. 🤣🤣🤣

100% me regarding #MondayMotivation

I came, I saw, I attempted using empathy and kindness to help people…

Now I am internally screaming at myself for doing so.

Defences on. Rest now. Need spoons for later.

Sometimes, traumatic or unpleasant experiences are clothed in #comedy out of a need for #SelfPreservation #Trauma

“If you wanted me to speak more highly of you, then perhaps you should have treated me better...You don't get to narrate MY story of MY experiences with you.” - #KattWilliams coming for everybody and anybody 😎 (emoji of smiling face wearing dark sunglasses)

Nolan asks,

"Odd, is it not, that a man whose primary concern is global equality would need a subterranean apocalypse shelter designed to seal him off from all of the (equal) people outside who would be, presumably, burning or starving or being eaten by the zombies?"

Perhaps "equality" means something different to the Zuckerbergs and Dorseys and Thiels and Musks of the world than it does to us ordinary non-tech-bro folks?
