found this:
replies seem to be a big collection of "how to cope" posts, where they share their preferred self-brainwashing tactics for suppressing their own feelings

example:

There's a lot of overlap with anxiety managrment techniques.
My most frequenly used tool for both is fact-checking:
"Not hearing from Partner for 3 days is not unusual. You do not have a daily contact agreement. You do not want to ask for such an agreement because it would set up unreasonable expectations for both of you. YOU would not be able to keep such an agreement. Partner let you know they would be low contact this week. Everything is fine."
Often a short fantasy trip into recent happy memories helps, sometimes it can have the opposite effect, but that's rare. Usually it helps me reaffirm my partner's love and carry it with me.
Journaling helps, similar to the fact-checking in my head above. Tbe difference with writing it down is that it firms up the facts. For me writing something down makes it more tangible & real. It helps rewire my brain away from the fight/flight/freeze/fawn reaction.
If Hard Feelings keep creeping in, I distract myself with activities: watch a go-to comfort movie or show, work on a hobby, read a book, call friends to see if they can meet up, go for a walk, take a cool shower, bake something.
Grounding techniques such as breathing in through the nose & out through the mouth, pressing palms together, feet into the floor, tapping fingertips together in sequence, doing a 5 senses check, can all short circuit anxious reactions, head off panic.
These days after a lot of practice, it's reflexive for me, usually starting with breathing and a brief "Everything is ok" reminder. I haven't needed to lean in to more for over a year. Part of that is also related to having reached secure attachment with two out of three partners. Getting there with the newest.

imagine telling yourself shit like "fact check: you do not have a daily contact agreement with your partner!" while (s)he is out fucking someone else
 
I can't decide if this thread is more depressing than it is funny.

I guess it's the polyamorists' job to make it depressing, and it's our job to make it funny. It's like a game. In the end we count the final score, comparing the amount of polyamory-related suicides (including all kiwifarmers who offed themselves because of this thread or IRL polyam retardation) to the number of chuckles and belly laughs we had while still alive, and see who won.

They still have the upper hand because they can involve their kids to make everything so much more depressing and vile. They have kids for this purpose alone, they want to cheat. And also because they're too fat to get out and buy contraceptives.

I love the part about "comfort activities".

I'm imagining some poor retard wearing some childhood bed sheets as a comfort cape while playing Dark Souls (a character made specifically for those nights) with a dex build, just trudging through the sewers and Blighttown, aimlessly and endlessly, without really knowing why, waiting for something to change.
 
Bad Sitcom Name
"Disabled queer polyamorous parents". As far as I know only the woman claims disability, I'm unsure about why. One husband works at Riot Games. The other one just passed his bar exam and is currently working a legal position at Disney.
I'm only sharing this information about the individuals because they're both successful in their careers, while they rail the same fat weird chick and play mario together on a cuck couch

oh lol it's bex
this woman is a notorious lolcow with her own 1k+ page thread here: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/archiv...-gerber-rebecca-marie-hernandez-gerber.25523/
riot games is well known for being a cultish hive of weirdos, even by california standards. no surprise that you'd find grotesque poly blobs like that in those circles.

to get an idea what kind of mother she is and how that baby is getting raised in the poly commune:

Ah damn, here I was thinking I'd found something original when I stumbled upon it.
I'd seen that post, scary. I was screenshotting and paying attention to her activity to compile a thread, rip
 
now this is a real WTF moment even by poly standards

polymtfmom.png
my mom revealed to me that she was polyamorous and I can’t help but feel uncomfortable…

before i write anything i sincerely don’t mean to offend anyone from this post, i respect polyamory for what it is and it is not my intention to belittle or make anyone feel bad, I just want to want to ask some questions, thanks
hello poly subreddit, i’m Liliana (22MtF) and my mother (51F) just revealed to me the other day that she was polyamorous and introduced me to the 3 people she was dating. Now I don’t usually get uncomfortable with different sexualities, identities, and what not. But I really just couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable sitting in a room with my mom’s three partners. Something about it was throwing me off and i still don’t really know why.
When i think of just the idea polyamory, it doesn’t faze me in the slightest. In fact i think it’s actually pretty cool!-
I LOVE my mother so much, and I really want to support her. I just don’t understand why i’m feeling this way… the idea of polyamorous relationships was totally fine for me up until my Mom ended up in one.
Can anyone help me understand and learn how to not be uncomfortable here? And Am I a bad person for feeling this way?? At the end of the day i just want my mom to be happy… sorry if this is offensive but i swear I just want to learn.

imagine your mom one day telling you "hey son daughter, i want to introduce you to three strange men who have been running a train on me last night! now everybody shake hands and be friends!"
and of course the kid being a tranny adds an extra level of absurdity to the whole situation

The level of disillusion is astonishing. Maybe the reason you're uncomfortable is that the small part of you that still has some understanding of normalcy understands that to anybody who isn't a sexual degenerate, it looks like your mother is ignorantly bringing you into a situation with 3 degenerates who are very likely fantasizing about grooming you into a situation where they have an orgy with you and your mother. Fucking insane.

I can't help but notice there are no mentions of a father anywhere. Hmmmm...
 
I'd like to believe the mother in this story is trying to scare her son straight. If he's going to be a degenerate tranny then she will just have to pretend to be ever more degenerate and make him so grossed out he stops and rethinks his life. :optimistic:

And after that, imagine going straight to not only fucking Reddit, but r/polyamory, to grovel and apologize for not being well-versed enough in their retarded perversions. Heccin valid behavior if you ask me.
 
A month later, she's back again. Unfortunately, she still seems to rather dislike the sound of her husband having multiple daily rounds of loud sex ten feet away from OP in her own apartment. But she can't figure out why she does not enjoy this. She's in therapy to learn to love the sound of her husband fucking another woman.

These people are fucking retarded and deserve all the misery they get.

Don't you dare try to judge her with your dirty normie close minded monogamous eyes! Reported! She just needs to learn how to be a good poly pocket partner. The first step is to unpack the jealously slowly. The next step is to unlearn sanity. And despite the rumors, the third step is NOT suicide. The third step is a BuzzFeed video.
 
I thought Bex was a pooner?
Ever since she had a kid she's been very lax about the pronoun thing. It's weird. She used to be really militant about it but is now boasting of "lovers" saying things like "what's a lady without her champions?" without REEEEE'ing about misgendering.

Anyone who enjoys this thread would probably like Bex's thread. And by "like" I mean be borderline horrified by. Come join us!

Also, her name is Yonah now, bigots. Because (supposedly) it's the only name used in both male and female figures in the Talmud. Or something. Cause she's super Jewish too.

My guess is that she molds her entire image and personality according to her current role and people around her, aside from her basic "asshole" baseline personality.
 
Here we have a li'l pooner who can't get a girlfriend . She doesn't want to be poly but she's posting on /r/polyamory because she "seem(s) to only end up with lovers who are non-monogamous." The poly women who hook up with her are also dating actual men, which makes our poon seethe with jealousy:
Screenshot 2024-05-07 103624.png
For those of you who are transgender and practice ethical non-monogamy, how do you do it? How do you handle the crushing pain of insecurity and burning jealousy when you see your partner(s) dating cisgender folks? How do you not feel inadequate when they are better looking, have the genitalia you lack, and are socioeconomically better off than you’ve ever been? I seem to only end up with lovers who are non-monogamous and I can’t help but feel compromised in my trans manhood and dysphoric as all hell whenever I decide to give it another try. Is it possible to defeat the feeling of not being enough as a transgender person and not feel as though you are competing with these other cisfolks who your partner(s) are dating?

Romantic opportunities don’t come my way much since transitioning 10 years ago, but I just don’t think I’m cut out for these types of relationships. I would absolutely love to hear other trans folks perspectives and experiences, especially those of you who are strong enough to endure and overcome these challenges without it affecting your mental health. Thank you!

Let's take a look into the background of our pooner. Three years ago, she couldn't get a woman to go down on her 'roided out crocopussy so had to resort to hooking up with men and troons (aka men). link | archive

Almost all of the ciswomen I’ve been with seem to have little to no interest in my vagina and even though I’m mostly dominant with women in the bedroom, there are occasions where I want a woman to pleasure and fuck me. Their lack of desire makes me feel incredibly self conscious and dysphoric and I just end up finishing them off and masturbating. Even though most of their sexual experiences have been with folks who have penises, they’ve all identified as queer, bisexual, or pansexual.

I’ve never really wanted phalloplasty and have been mostly content with what plumbing I’ve got, however I can’t help but feel like maybe I would be more desirable to women if I had a penis attached to my body. We live in a dick crazed misogynist society and I know women have been shamed about their vaginas and sexuality since the dawn of time, so that might be the reason. The transgender women and cisgender men I’ve slept with were more than willing to reciprocate, but I truly want to believe that I’ve just encountered a bunch of selfish pillow princesses and that someday a woman will want to touch me.
For a pooned out lesbian like OP, hooking up with poly women is still an L but a massive improvement over hooking up with troons.

Back to the original post on /r/polyamory. A helpful janny reminds us that cissies are not exactly welcome to offer any comments on this self-hating pooner's post:

OK. Got it. Trannies only.

But rewind to a few months ago. A troon user (/u/blue_Winged_yoshi) apparently noticeed some women /r/polyamory users attempting to talk to each other without centering troons. These female thought criminals dared to use the term "cis AFAB" to refer to themselves. VERBOTEN! /u/blue_winged_yoshi posts a rant exhorting polytards to "Do better!" link | archive
Screenshot 2024-05-07 112717.png
So the phrase “Cis AFAB” is coming up increasingly regularly on this subreddit and is being used to for situations where there is no need to cut trans women out.

So trans women’s experiences on dating apps are the same as cis women’s, we get unicorn hunted, spammed with dick pics, misled about partners enthusiasm for one night stands, the whole smorgasbord of shitty dating app behaviour hits us too. So why are some women trying to pretend that this is a cis thing to encounter?

AGAB language does have some instances where it is useful, however if you are a cisgender person discussing social experiences the odds of it being appropriate to use is basically 0. Do better!

The same janny who rushed to enforce our li'l pooners "trans only" edict above, locates and summarily deletes the discussion referring to women:
