KalvinI shared something personal and meaningful with someone I considered a friend, and their immediate reaction was to accuse me of sending a malware. There was no attempt to understand, no curiosity—just suspicion and rejection. That kind of response, especially when you're being vulnerable, really hurts. When there's no trust, there's no foundation for friendship. Being treated like a threat when you’re just trying to connect is painful. It leaves a lasting impression, and it's hard to see a path forward in any relationship where you're not seen or respected.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Vulnerability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vulnerability</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BrokenTrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrokenTrust</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FriendshipHurt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FriendshipHurt</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EmotionalPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmotionalPain</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NoSecondChances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoSecondChances</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RejectionStings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RejectionStings</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GuardedHeart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuardedHeart</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/HealingJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HealingJourney</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TrustIssues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrustIssues</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FriendshipFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FriendshipFail</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EmotionalSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmotionalSafety</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/HardLessons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HardLessons</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BoundariesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoundariesMatter</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RespectMissing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RespectMissing</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LastingScars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LastingScars</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GuardedNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuardedNow</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NoUnderstanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoUnderstanding</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LonelyFeeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LonelyFeeling</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SelfProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfProtection</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Newsmast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newsmast</a>

FishercatI'm looking for recommendations for a respirator that's easy to put on and take off a face with long hair and glasses. Specs I need:* N95 or better * Protected filter housing; not adjacent to skin * Adjustable fit * Minimally restrictive air intake, or enough sealed space to feel air moving on my skin * Not valved * Available in USPreferred: * Not disposableMy concerns, in case you're aware of something that addresses them, without necessarily fitting the specs.Duck-billed disposable N95s (3Ms V-flex) seem to address the anxiety restricted airflow triggers in me after about 30 minutes in an oval shaped N95. They also sit right on my skin, so when a hot flash makes my face sweaty, that triggers concerns & anxiety that the sweat may be compromising the integrity of the mask.I have a valved P100 that's comfortable enough, but is a) a production to put on and take off, and b) doesn't protect other people from me.I have a pointy European nose, which doesn't fit properly inside most masks made for the Asian market.Got any recommendations? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#masks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#masking</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/recommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recommendations</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovidIsNotOver</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandemics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SelfProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfProtection</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medical</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/respirators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#respirators</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/shopping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shopping</a>

WIST Quotations has moved!A quotation from Lehane, Dennis:« Vanity is a weakness. I know this. It’s a shallow dependence on the exterior self, on how one looks instead of what one is. I know this well. But I have a scar the size and texture of a jellyfish on my abdomen already, and you’d be surprised how your sense of self changes when you can’t take your shirt off at the beach.… »Full quote, sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/lehane-dennis/67312/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wist.info/lehane-dennis/67312/</a><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/dishonesty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dishonesty</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ego</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/scars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scars</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/selfprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfprotection</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/vanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vanity</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/wounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wounds</a>

Tae PhoenixIf someone calls claiming to be from your financial institution - even if they sound very much like what you'd expect from a bank and say that it's an urgent matter - ask them for a case reference number and tell them you'll call them back at the 1-800 number on the bank's website.The fraudsters are really out in force at the moment.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fraud</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/financialcrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#financialcrimes</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/bankfraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bankfraud</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/personalsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#personalsecurity</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/finance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finance</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/selfprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfprotection</a>
