@Ashley ! How do you make a lizard-spock??? 
) lol i meam or a lizard or a Spock??
I am seriously always suggesting rock paper scissors as a way to solve the problem, especially when folks are trying to figure out something serious. I love the look they give me.
Ah, being dismissed or ignored by those causing you harm/problems/etc and then basically telling you to shut up and that's your lot to chew on, really angers me. I've been getting better at setting boundaries (i.e. my loss of job, ha) but i have oh so long to go on that path. But, i cannot just keep letting people push my boundaries and disrespect my essential needs. I'm sorry it sounds like there is a lot of toxicity in the people in your life rn. It is so much to deal with :/ i send you strength and light in our minds...
@Dragon and @Ashley ...
This forum/community has helped me so much in the last month and a half. I've been working on many parts of my life, and oh so much to do there lol... but, the community here, and Dragon's wry sense of humor (seriously sometimes I am rolling!), the openness of the platform where i can come and join a conversation, vent, offer support when the words come to me, or just lurk when i am low energy but can find solace in others' stories and struggles.... this is an amazing place made up of amazing, weird, beautiful souls. Also, lets also say that having worked in the service industry, and having been the "new chica in town" a few times in the past 5+ years, it is nice to connect with folks, esp. men who are older and can share some crotchety wisdom, without having them get creepy! I didn't realize there are so many old guys who try to creep on young ladies intil working in bars and restaurants... sheeeesh!
So, thank you guys for being real and making this a safe and respectful community. So, from my perspective, and i am sure this is shared by many here, age should not be a separating factor. Of couse, it does contribute to a different set of experiences, perception, and perspective... but, these things help give us the distiction of finding things that are relatable in each others struggles and also being able to share different ways of coping or seeing the situation. Or whatever. I guess i just mean that, i can understand why you both might feel that way, but i think that this community appreciates when you do contribute and interact for so many reasons! At least, I do! And when someone from a different background and life experience and generation says something that resonates strongly, it makes it even more validating, i.e. this person has somolar experience, struggle, whatever, and while we are so different we are still human, and sharing the impact of these things in life and showing thst yes, certain things still impact different people and their emotions and their lives and relationships in such similar ways is very helpful to know that i am not the only one who has these types.of experiences or feelings or responses.
Aghhhh. That may not be clear. But i tried.
Time for some rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.....
