@Stereoguy it’s sad. You know, if they told me they needed the stuff and didn’t have enough $ to buy them, I would have been happy to help them out and give them whatever I could. Instead, I took the bag to my shed until they left. She asked me where the bag was and I just told her I took care of it.

Once I realised shame is more of a human construct developed to hold some control over someone else, usually in masses by the masses collectively - I have been trying to drop all of it. Things I did sometimes in the past.
Not that I dropped accountability for it, no. But shame doesn't help me heal, like compassion and understanding does.

I used to be ashamed of all the traumatic and dysfunctional things I’ve been through, both born into and then later trauma reenactment stuff. Abusive exes who were really good at using that insecurity to make me feel like a damaged, exotic animal only they could love.
Thankfully I’m over that internal narrative. I feel good about the life I created, who I am, and where I’m headed. I feel like the things I have been through have made me very strong, empathetic, analytical and compassionate, which makes me a good fit for my line of work helping other people heal. At the same time, every once in a while the shame still sneaks up on me when I’m socializing with people who haven’t been through all the crazy bullshit I have. There’s a lot about my past I choose to just not talk about with most people because I don’t want to deal with being treated differently over things that are irrelevant to my present or future.
Sometimes that can be lonely, but for the most part it’s OK. Those who are really close to me know a lot. They are great about the occasional PTSD stuff, but they also give me the fresh air of my past not mattering anymore.

@Pinkstarburst It's what's on the inside that counts not the outside
And I'm sure you are a solid ten on the inside all day long
The reflection you see in the mirror is not what the rest of us sees
