I have successfully avoided TikTok for the past week. It feels so much more peaceful this way. Still trying my best to avoid the microblogging sites that I have accounts on. And Facebook too. I mean, with Facebook I'm a bit better because I only try my best to visit this one group that I really like. With microblogging sites I don't know, my finger just automatically click the apps when I'm bored.
 
I like that things are pretty much in control now. It's a nice feeling to have. I also managed to find a skincare routine that fits me. Well, I'm still trying it out, but even on the first day things are looking pretty good, or at least looking up
 
  • I was naive, the kind of person who wants to see the good in everyone
  • Feelings linger, I still wanted to talk to him, expecting he would still be the same person
  • I talked to him, he took advantages of my kindness
  • He manipulated me, making me feel guilty, making me feel responsible for his feelings and for his emotions
  • Once I actually set boundaries, he got mad and got rid of me
  • If I did that earlier, that (the getting rid of me part) would’ve also happened earlier, but because I was manipulated, that didn’t happen earlier (the get rid of me part)
    • He wanted to keep me around to take advantages of my kindness
    • He’s insecure and craving validation, so that’s why he needs people who will tell him all the things he wanted to hear (compliments, comforts, etc)
  • Now I got my power back. No need to regret or blame my past self. The point is, I was manipulated. Good for me.

Why did he keep all those girls around? Well they’re probably giving him what he wants; validations, comforts, compliments, etc), or maybe they’re just as bad as him. You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together
 
I managed to hide Twitter and Bluesky from my phone's homepage. I want to avoid them. I think Instagram is fine because maybe it's because I'm following the decent people? I don't really see anything toxic on my Instagram feed, and I don't use the explore page.
