The Downfall of Casual Sex w/ Lainey Molnar

Have you ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of self-hate, unable to escape the negative thoughts and feelings that consume you? It's a painful and difficult place to be, but it's not a permanent one. With time, patience, and effort, you can break free from the grip of self-hate and learn to love yourself fully and completely.    Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Lainey Molnar - a digital artist with thousands of followers online who draws women empowerment comics to liberate women from the immense societal pressure and to help all of us heal and grow through (self-)love, kindness, and acceptance. Violetta and Lainey share their most vulnerable experiences starting from growing through a long phase of self-hate that became debilitating, self-doubt that made you feel less and ugly and unworthy of love, to the double standards of hookup culture and breaking free from an abusive relationship.Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm KITSCH - Get 30% off of your order by visiting https://myKITSCh.com/adulting What to Listen For:00:00 Intro01:59 “I live all over the world…”05:50 How do you say it in Hungarian?06:49 When did you start illustrating women's issues?09:33 Advocating for women’s rights13:49 How can you tell you’re existing in your feminine energy?19:00 Don’t hate yourself too much22:29 Your inadequacy demon28:14 I used to be an extremely unhappy, self-hating person33:57 We can’t just deal with the happy things37:16 Three downsides of hookup culture44:04 Deciding to be a celibate50:50 Keeping yourself safe thru casual sex55:03 Mentally, sexually, and physically abusive partner58:00 Getting out of an abusive relationship01:02:49 Being able to recognize the red flags Connect with Lainey on:https://www.bylainey.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lainey.molnar/https://www.facebook.com/bylaineymolnar/https://www.tiktok.com/@lainey.molnar Get more content on:https://www.instagram.com/almostadulting/https://www.instagram.com/violetbenson/https://www.instagram.com/daddyissues_/ https://www.youtube.com/c/daddyissues See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
