Just keep telling her she’s awesome. Don’t focus on the legs, just tell her all the things you love about her. And if she directly asks you about them, don’t make it a big deal. Just say “I don’t care, you’re beautiful.” For me the best thing my husband did was to counter the constant onslaught of beauty standards over media by telling me every day what he loves about me and how cool he thinks I am.

Waldelfe@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some good coping strategies for moving on and dealing with constant abuse?2·9 days agoI’ve been abused (physically and mentally) by my parents and bullied at school. I can obviously only talk about myself, but maybe my experience helps you.
Understanding, that those people will never care or feel guilt, is hard. Especially when you were abused as a child and hoped for a happy end. Actively trying to get over it also didn’t work very well for me. For me the best thing to do was focus on other things: find friends, find hobbies, do whatever you always wanted to do (I started wearing clothes I was forbidden to wear and practicing hobbies that were ridiculed).
Just fill your life with things you like and the bullies and abusers will become smaller and smaller.
Therapy is a good start to help you with this and question yourself, who you are and who you want to be.

Waldelfe@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the dumbest tattoo you have ever seen?2·9 days agoNo, it didn’t cover anything, it was really just the lines for the character. I don’t think you could cover much under it other than a very tiny tattoo.
Waldelfe@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the dumbest tattoo you have ever seen?61·10 days agoMaybe not quite as dumb as others here, but I once saw a woman in a sauna who had a GIANT 女 (woman) on her back. It went from the shoulders to the ass. I get finding Chinese characters cool and wanting them tattooed, but why on earth would you just tattoo “woman” instead of something meaningful and why so large it covers your entire back?
Waldelfe@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Doppelgangers now exist, how do you authenticate yourself?3·12 days agoIf they only mimic me and have some knowledge based on what is on my phone/online, they probably don’t speak the same foreign languages as I on the same level. So I could authenticate myself by proving that I speak those languages.
Waldelfe@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do alone people find each other online?81·12 days agoThat’s not true everywhere, my city has a pretty good meetup scene for various hobbies. However the amount of people who sell their useless courses as “meetup, but I will ask for a 20€ fee from everyone” or shady “we will talk about investing/crypto…” groups has gone up.

Will Smith, because he’s annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air
Waldelfe@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•To the LGBT and particularly trans people, how are you holding up these days?1·20 days agoI’m a bi woman and have always preferred women. But I ended up falling in love with a wonderful man who is now my husband. I’m currently really grateful for that. Loving a woman in this climate would be so stressful. I’m very scared for my trans best friend though.
