I’ve seen some of these going around, but most don’t really specify which ones are mostly centered around sexuality and/or which genre it is. Since most mention the character’s sexuality, I’ll be putting a scale of Low - Medium - High when it comes to how relevant the topic of sexuality/gender is to the book (not counting romance, but rather the ‘angst’ or something around it), plus the main genre.

emotionally manipulative things you should never say to people:

• “i would kill myself without you”
• “everyone leaves me, don’t leave me like they did”
• basically anything that guilts the other person into staying in a relationship with you

this post is important

yoooo this shit doesn’t even have to apply to romantic relationships like if you have friends saying this kind of garbage to you it’s time to re-evaluate who you hang out with

I’m sorry for being mentally ill

there’s a difference between expressing your needs and literally scaring and manipulating the people you care about into paying attention to you though? a giant difference?

if you have abandonment issues or fears of being alone, /communicate that/ instead of threatening suicide or guilting someone into staying your friend bc you’re making them the bad guy for leaving.

legit, you can say, “i’m very afraid of being alone, spending time with you is important to me, i have issues with feeling abandoned that can put me in a really scary place,” etc. bc this way you’re telling the other person about your fears without making them stay your friend or your partner or whatever.

it’s not healthy for you or for the other person when you threaten suicide. and honestly it’s an extremely shitty thing to do. you’re literally telling that person “if you don’t do what i ask my blood is on your hands.” like?? that’s?? not okay??

ffsshh:

draw stick figures. sing off key. write bad poems. sew ugly clothes. run slowly. flirt clumisly. play video games on easy. you do not need to be good at something to enjoy the act. talent is overrated. do things you like doing. it’s ok to suck

intj-paradigm:

Start taking up space. Force people to walk around you rather than stepping to the side. Make the other person look away first. Stop laughing at jokes that aren’t funny. Make “No,” into your favorite word. When you say the word “no,” do not explain yourself. When you disagree with a person, do not argue with them. Take action so that your opinions become law, rather than theirs. Reject orders that you do not like. This results in consequences. Consequences make you self-reliant. Self-reliance breeds power. Staying in line makes you dependent on an authority figure and that authority figure got there through defiance. People don’t follow followers.

skullxcrusher:

nostalgia is a liar. nothing was ever as good as you remember it to be. there’s a reason you don’t talk to that person anymore, there’s a reason you’re not part of each other’s lives. don’t trust nostalgia. grieve. reflect. move on.

thehomoschedule:

• be someone’s counselor and help them with all their problems if its bad for your mental health
  
• be there for someone 24/7
• remain friends with someone who emotionally drains you
• maintain negative relationships because you’ve been close for so long, because you’re related, or anything else
• do anything that makes you unhappy or puts your health at risk
