Sigh.

How do I... Deprogram this 'expectation'?
To prevent future emotions. Unnecessary setbacks due to inappropriate reactions.


It implies few things; one, being hopeful to whatever hypothetical fantasy such event I was invited into.
Two, one of the novelties I rarely able to go to.

But also three; my subconscious takes it as a sign of distrust over 'how I would behave myself'. It's like a pouting child... :? On a verge of tantrum and wanting to complain about it.

And despite knowing that it's no longer professional -- that I'm just another adult, not some kid to drag along...

I want the rational reasoning route.
That I can just accept the lack of feedback or the "subtle rejection" as my less rational part of me concluded.
No need to go through stages and phases -- just go straight to the accept of the fact.


And since I like to make do with what I get...
And now that my relationship with emotions changed; I shall take this reaction as an opportunity for me to learn and grow for real.

Maybe it'll be the key for me to finally hijack the elusive subconscious.
Maybe I'll finally able to solve and eventually master re-parenting for good.

Yes -- a single opportunity for me to be stable and encountering this experience is all I need to figure and progress.
Except this time -- I no longer had to wait for the luck with myself to be in a stable and regulated state.


Yessss I love how you're making sense of all of this Edna. I think you're going through a lot of changes in your life and you're doing really well actually

I need a new avenue.

Volunteer work perhaps?
Just something for me to do other than be at home all day 5 days a week.


And since I'm not depressed or anything...
And it's just habits... Crappy, undisciplined, complacent habits...

How much can behavioral activation would work for me?

I cannot rely on a whimsical motivation alone and anymore. Nor do emotions have a total say with what I want to do anymore.

Also having to master routines, having to no need to wait for certain cues or events to happen.
Like going to school, but I plan my own lessons, my own activities.

I think volunteering is a really good idea. I should do it myself

Awful lotta car crashes happening on the roads near my neighborhood. People are driving too aggressively. Found two cars trapped in a ditch outside Western Sizzlin. Today, a heavy van tried a sharp turn too fast and flipped onto its top.

Why is it that fast food breakfast gives a choice between a sausage egg and cheese sandwich or a bacon egg and cheese sandwich but no option to combine the two?
