Hello there, friend. Call me Teal. Genderfluid, any pronouns. 28. I'd rather be reading. Major dork, I post about things I like and/or find interesting. I draw a lil bit. I queue a majority of my posts ✌️Some content is NSFW, minors DNI. PFP is from fairydropart, header art by me✨️
being aware that your behavior is shaped by childhood experiences is so cringe every time i notice it im like ooo look at her can’t even get over what someone told him when she was 7. grow up
You didn’t have coping mechanisms when you were 7. You maybe had a stuffed animal to hold.
You also didn’t have full adult coping mechanisms at 14. Except maybe the stuffed animal, and everyone said you were too old to hug it for comfort.
That made it worse, see? Shit happened to you when you didn’t have any training or tools to cope with it. These things are formative experiences, they shape how you go forward, even after you’ve hopefully grown up and learned how to deal.
And no, it doesn’t have to be TRAUMA stuff that happened for it to affect you forever. It’s not stupid to still be upset or bothered or fucking haunted by something that happened when you were a kid or a teenager even if you think compared to other people’s experiences it wasn’t that severe, because it affected you. “Formative” means “was part of your creation” meaning you formed who you are now to some degree around whatever things happened as a kid.

Don’t mind me…I’m just thinking about how spiders are naturally talented and skilled weavers and they know how to weave their webs and even make functional, stylish homes and nests and whatnot.
So maybe that’s why Spider-Man knows how to sew his suits. He inherited that trait from the spider and just instinctively know how to weave his suits. Maybe. That’s my explanation for it.
Aunt May: You’re buying an awful lot of yarn lately. Are you making something?
Peter, who after getting bit by a spider has felt an inescapable need to knit and now his room is covered head to toe in yarn: Nope. It’s just new hobby.
yknow what. i complained a lot about how it was unrealistic to suddenly know how to put together stretch knits and a perfectly fitting, absolute banger of a suit, but this is an explanation i’ll gladly accept
every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes
