I want someone to take an actual interest in me and not just be all judging over what I purchase and what I do.
One of my best friends is in a wheelchair and a few years ago we got her a sticker that says "my other ride is a TARDIS" (we're big doctor who nerds). She's getting a new wheelchair and has requested the sticker again, so I ordered it and a few other things like diamond art hair clips that look beautiful that a friend who doesn't navigate internet very well. The minimum spend is $40 and my friend gave me $20 for the hair clips.
What I've been doing is getting these mental health posters to teach me skills that I don't know, boundary statements, anxiety coping...
I filled up this order with 7 more because I found the two I have very helpful. It's helping me feel less alone and that I can learn how to handle these things.
So I find it difficult to make my emotions, so I got a few on emotions, including a keyring to carry with me.
It's not just useless stuff that I'm getting, it's stuff that is helping me learn skills I was never taught and I shouldn't be judged on that, or anything really.
