A really looonngggg list of the most useless and boring all for the game head-cannons
Characters:
Neil Josten
He has those two crooked teeth at the sides of his mouth that look like ‘fangs’ and big two front teeth (me too, me too😔)
Wears caps backwards like a freak loser weirdo
He doesn’t care much about facial piercings but he ends up getting a few more ear piercings after awhile (and then he got a tongue piercing because someone told him he wouldn’t)
Regularly walks into glass doors and poles by accident and tries to play it off and act cool when really he just looks like an absolute dumbass
Sneezes like an old man
He wakes up from nightmares sometimes thinking his legs are gone and panics before realising that he’s okay and that he’s safe
Curly mullet curly mullet curly mullet curly mullet
His mum did his ear piercings for him as another way to change his appearance
Once woke up from a nightmare and punched Andrew instead of Andrew waking up from a nightmare and punching him. Andrew had never woken up so confused in his life and Neil burst out laughing while apologising and he immediately forgot about what his nightmare was about
Andrew Minyard
Once he starts relaxing more while sleeping in the same bed as Neil he starts sleep talking and it’s always about something ridiculous or completely random
I’ve said this so many times but idc. Andrew didn’t have any piercings until he moved in with Aaron and Nicky because Aaron has piercings and Andrew thought they were cool
Is good at baking and enjoys it but if you held a gun to his head and told him to cook dinner the gun would go off
When he was a kid he was really into space and constellations and sometimes he’ll point them out while on the roof with Neil
Covers his mouth with his hand or turns his face away when he laughs
He has Arfid? I think that’s what it’s called
Hides away whenever he’s sick because as a child people have gotten angry at him for being sick as it was ‘inconvenient’.
Aaron Minyard
Has slight claustrophobia from when Andrew locked him inside the bathroom. It’s not that bad most of the time but sometimes if the door gets stuck for a second or he’s in a small room for too long then he silently freaks out (he also hates going inside lifts)
Was really big on dinosaurs as a kid. his favourite teddy was a little terradactyl (idfk how to spell it I’ve been trying for ten minutes😭) and he still keeps it under his pillow
Gives the most nastiest looks to people without even realising
Mumbles to himself a lot about the things he’s doing like a narrator
The type of person to not know where their glasses are when they are on top of their head
Whenever he does something that makes him think the person he’s with will get angry with him he either freezes or makes himself smaller
Aaron has a weird thing with being perceived and will often stop doing something (like reading or whatever) if someone sees him/walks in until they go away.
Kevin Day
He’s autistic but only got diagnosed when he was in the foxes (like a few months or so after Wymack finding out he’s his dad and stuff)
Scared if butterflies the same way people are scared of wasps and bees
Sleeps face down and snores really loudly but is in denial about it
He has a keyring that he carries around with him everywhere because he was going to give it to Jean but never got the chance and now he feels it’s a bit late to do it now
Has the most beautiful handwriting
Nicky Hemmick
Really long eyelashes
Had a really bad and embarrassing emo phase that he refuses to talk about but one time the twins found old photos of it and framed them to mess with him
Tongue and smiley piercing
He’s in a the family group chat Erik has with his family
Opening up about his personal problems is hard for him. He thinks that if he’s upset about something then people will get annoyed with him and he’s scared of being an inconvenience
Renee Walker
Dyes her hair to match the holidays
She’s transgender mtf
The first time she died her hair was after she was adopted by Stephanie. She messed it up and Stephanie had walked in on her trying to fix it and offered to help her. It was one of the first things they really did together as mother and daughter
She always stands with her hands clasped together either in-front or behind her
She always has unique/fun hair-clips in her hair
Allison Reynolds
When she’s anxious about something she kinda just rubs her hands together or rubs them across her neck or legs repetitively
She LOVESSS shopping but always enjoys it more when someone is with her (it normally ends up being Neil, Seth or Renee)
Hips + bellybutton pierced🙌
When she was a kid she refused to wear anything but princess dress costumes and tiaras for like two years
A lot of her clothes/accessories or glittery or shimmery but she actually hates glitter because of how inconveniently messy it is
Kisses peoples cheeks to greet them
Matt Boyd
He’s the type of hugger that lifts up whoever it is he’s hugging (Aaron, Dan and Neil are victims of unexpectedly being lifted of the ground and seeing their life flash before their eyes)
Will, has and still does break it down to Brittney spear’s whenever she comes on
He has a tattoo on his hand on a flower and a tattoo on his shoulder of his exy number
He wanted to get both his eyebrows pierced but chickened out after getting the first one done
His favourite animal is a crocodile and has been since he was a little boy. His childhood toy was a teddy crocodile that he still keeps on his bed
Dan Wilds
The foxes all got Wymack a Father’s Day mug with their names signed on it once. It was Dans idea and it was a moustache on the bottom of it
She LOVES maximalist gold jewellery and is covered in it most of the time
During and after her time with the foxes she keeps in touch with her old work sisters and does secret Santa with them every year
Nose freckles nose freckles nose freckles
The teams ‘bonding’ activities are normally planned by her
Seth Gordan
He has dyslexia but is in denial about it and pretends he doesn’t know what dyslexia is����
He is absolutely COVERED in freckles
He’s wanted to be a professional Exy player since he was a kid and it’s always what he’d tell people he was going to be before he joined the foxes. He lost hope in becoming one after signing with the team (kinda canon lmao?)
He looks the most like his father out of all his siblings
David Wymack
Proper BAWLED his eyes out at Dan and Matts wedding. It was the first time any of the foxes had seen him cry and they thought it was hilarious
Doesn’t know how to work a phone and holds it far away from his face like an old lady to read messages
Has a moustache🫡🤤😍🥰😘
Had an eyebrow piercing as a teenager but took it out YEARS ago
Abby Winfield
Was like super goth as a teenager
Has a tongue piercing and is a FAKE BLONDE🫵
Her only friend growing up was Betsy
Has a raspy voice🤤🤤
Betsy Dobson
Her style is very colourful and maximalist. She wears funky jewellery, crazy accessories and patterned tights, etc
She enjoys crocheting from time to time
She had a crush on Abby when they were in school with each other
Jeremy Knox
Big front teeth like a rabbit
Cries during sad movies. Like full on heaving sobs
Was very very shy as a kid and didn’t have many friends before the Trojans
He’s never really been aloud to do do things like dying his hair, dressing how he wants, going out more than a day a week if he was lucky, getting piercings etc etc so he’s honestly kind of afraid of being himself and a part of him still doesn’t really know who he is
Frecklesssss
A haver of the OCD🫡
Really bad at hiding his facial expressions. If you’re annoying him you WILL know about it but he won’t know that you know🧍
Jean Moreau
Moles EVERYWHERE
Sometimes he has days so bad that he struggles to even drink water because it feels like he’s choking
He’s very fidgety. Never sitting still for too long and whenever he’s holding something he’s always playing around with it in his hands. He fidgets very subtlety as he can though because he doesn’t want people to notice it
His favourite films are the buddy’s films
Absolutely SUCKS at any kind of game, board games, card games, video games etc he’s ridiculously bad at them
The toaster gives him a fright every single time it pops. Even when he pops it himself with the button
Resting sad face
Katelyn Mackenzie
She’s one of the cheerleaders that get thrown up in the air (I don’t know anything about cheerleading it isn’t really a thing where I live)
Her hair is really really curly and long
She’s the oldest sibling of four and the youngest is adopted
She’s always been quite popular amongst her peers growing up because of how kind, helpful and friendly she was but she’s never really had a best friend until the vixens (I like to think her best friend is a really goth girl in the cheer team)
Her part time job as a teenager was babysitting and she LOVED it
She’s 5,11
Groups:
The Monsters
They have a group-chat but they don’t really use it
Have all just fallen asleep in the car outside of Eden’s instead of driving home by accident a lot
They don’t take photos with each other but Nicky has taken sooooo many sneaky photos of them all
When Robin joins the foxes and eventually joins the monsters they all treat her as if she’s their little sister and her parents have invited them all for tea/dinner a few times
Kevin and Aaron are the only ones that can’t drive
Had a karaoke night once and have all agreed to never ever speak of it again
Once Andrew sorts his shit out Katelyn joins them in their outings sometimes
The upperclassmen
Go out for dinner together quite a lot
Were all bridesmaids/groomsmen at each-others weddings
They’ve got a group chat that is still used years after graduation even though they are all busy with their own lives now
They do those hangout things when they all make a PowerPoints about whatever they want and present it to each other etc yk?
They all have matching tattoos of their exy numbers
On the anniversary of Seth's death, the foxes and Wymack gather at Abby's place to have dinner together. They don't really talk about him but they leave one seat empty.
The floozies
They have BBQS together a lot
All have some sort of matching thing like a bracelet or t-shirt I just can’t think of what it would be lol
Cat and Laila have a photo wall/photo album full of photos of them all
They are always helping Jean have fun experiencing things he never got the chance too. He probably won’t tell them directly but he appreciates their patience
Kevin being obsessed with them is a bit of an inside joke of theirs. “Hey guys do you think I look okay in this?” “No but u know who would!” “If you say Kevin I’m punching you in the fucking face” (???) idk how else to demonstrate that LMAO
Love love love having sleepovers at Cat and Lailas
The Vixens
They were all weary of Katelyn’s boyfriend being Aaron grumpy loser pants Minyard but they eventually warmed up to him
When Melissa/Marissa(?) first joined the vixens after being in the foxes she struggled fitting in with everyone. Katelyn was the first friend she made on the team
Most of them are probably the nicest people you will meet in Palmetto and couldn’t care less about the foxes but a lot of them absolutely despise the foxes and want nothing to do with them
Katelyn has her own little group of friends in the vixens who Aaron eventually joined and is now the main source of their gossip (he mainly bitches about Neil and Andrew)
They all absolutely ADORE Robin
Relationships/couples (cannon and not lol):
Andrew and Neil
Andrew runs cold and has to sleep like he’s hibernating for the winter while Neil runs hot and needs a fan (Andrew hates the fan. It is enemy #1)
The cats were Andrews ‘idea’. (He found them outside and took them home without saying anything)
Neil has had to carry drunk andrew a few times because Andrew likes being difficult
The team all have AT LEAST one photo of them sleeping together . On the couch, in the bus, in their bed, ON THE ROOF? They all have one
Andrew enjoys shopping and has a wardrobe full to the brim with clothes. Neil just wears Andrews clothes most of the time
Andrew sits on Neil’s lap more than Neil sits on his but Neil LOVES holding Andrew’s hand
They bake together sometimes but it usually just ends up with them throwing flour at each-other (poor Andrews completely black outfits)
They both actually get ‘flustered’ quite easily around each-other but with Neil it’s literally Impossible to tell. Andrews entire face goes red but that’s IT
Andrew paints Neil’s nails sometimes when he’s bored (it’s obviously black nail varnish too)
Andrew let’s Neil pin his hands,eventually, enjoying being safe in his hold
Aaron and Katelyn
Katelyn is the big spoon🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Katelyn enjoys baking but Aaron doesn’t so he is always just sitting on the counter and watching her bake
Aaron is a lot quieter/more insecure than Katelyn is so she’ll often be the one in control of the conversation whether it’s just them two or a group of people but Aaron is a lot more comfortable being himself when he’s with just her (Their a Sunshine and rain cloud basically🙄)
Katelyn’s parents ADORE Aaron
Aaron buys flowers for Katelyn every single time he comes over to see her. When they get a home together he buys her new flowers every week
Katelyn is a big kisser while Aaron is a big hugger
Katelyn always kisses Aaron repeatedly on the face when she’s trying out new lipstick (leaving him covered in lipstick marks how adorbs and lovely)
They are both very physically affectionate with eachother
Katelyn takes 0.5 photos of Aaron all the time trust
Dan and Matt
Matching pajamas🙏🙌🗣️
Randy absolutely loves Dan and is constantly going on about how lucky her son is and how beautiful Dan is etc etc
Matt is the type of guy to wear a t-shirt covered in pictures of dans face at the club or a “I <3 my GF” shirt
They do face masks together during movie nights
Matt absolutely WORSHIPS Dan and it’s so painfully sweet it causes tooth aches
They go on a date once a week after graduation
Wymack walked Dan down the isle at their wedding and was absolutely SOBBING while dancing was giggling at him
Matt doesn’t know how to tie a tie because he’s got hashtag daddy issues so Dan usually does it for him
Always touching somehow. Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand etc
Seth and Allison
He liked her bossing him around👁️👁️
Sometimes when they were bored Seth would try do Alison’s makeup and she wasn’t aloud to help him and it always ended up with them cry laughing
Allison would help Seth shave his head when it got too long for him
Allison had Seth saved as “wife🏳️‍🌈” in her contacts LMFAO
After he died the foxes photo wall had a photo of him put up with his name and birth to death dates. Allison is the one who picked the photo
Allison always manhandled Seth into doing his skincare and eyebrows etc because she was NOT going to have a scruff as a boyfriend (he secretly enjoyed it)
He liked it when she scratched his back because of her long fake nails
She was the first real girlfriend Seth had (and the last)
Allison and Renee
Allison helps Renee dye her hair when Andrew isn’t around to help (sometimes they both help her at the same time)
Renee is silently a little shy around Allison and gets flustered at all the compliments and praise Allison gives her (Allison is head over heels and is very very much flustered but she can’t let people know that🙄🙄)
^They are basically just very awkwardly sweet with eachother
Allison always ricks Renee’s hair behind her ears
They go on picnic dates a lot during summer and spring
Renee fell first, Allison fell harder🫡
Stephanie is the embarrassing type of mother that’s always teasing her kid about their crush and she most definitely teased Renee about Allison
Renee makes homemade valentines gifts and Allison gets expensive valentines gifts
Allison loves Renee playing with her hair
Renee enjoys taking off Allison makeup for her at the end of the day and always kisses the tip of her nose when she’s done (taking the fake eyelashes off is her favourite part LMAO)
Allison has gone to church with Renee and Stephanie a few times during Christmas
Allison always kisses Renee’s wing tattoo
Renee reads before bed a lot and Allison falls asleep listening to her sometimes
Renee and Allison and Seth (hear me out I’m begging)
Renee and Seth are both dating Allison but they are not dating each-other 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️
They are both very playful competitive when it comes to Allison and she thinks it’s hilariously sweet
They have a groupchat named “Renee is cooler” and Seth is a dumbass who doesn’t know how to change the name
After Seth died Allison and Renee stopped dating for a while. Allison needed some time to herself and Renee was okay with that
Renee and Seth are low-key best friends (obviously! they have the same girlfriend) but pretend to be enemies in a way that’s like almost as if they are at war against each-others kingdom LMAO
They all go on dates together but they also take turns going on dates
Seth helped allison help dye Renee’s hair once and accidentally got the dye in his and Allison hair. He was never aloud to help again
Allison sleeps in the middle and they rotate the spooning lmao. One night Seth spoons Allison while Allison spoons Renee and another night it’ll be the other way around. Sometimes they are both just curled into Allison 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Stephanie loves both Allison and Seth and often invited them over for dinner
They all had matching banquet outfits
Jeremy and Jean
Jeremy kisses jeans moles/Beauty marks and Jean kisses Jeremy’s freckles
They sleep facing each-other and so close that they are basically kissing 🙄
Jeremy likes playing with jeans hands when they cuddle and kisses his finger tips
Jeremy screams and runs from bugs while Jean picks them up and puts them outside
Nicky and Eric
At their wedding Nicky was walked down the aisle by Erik’s dad
Their first date was an aquarium date and it was also Nicky’s first time going to an aquarium
They have matching build-a-bears
When Nicky first moved back to take in the twins he and Erik called almost every single night. Nicky was so tired sometimes that he’d fall asleep while Erik was speaking
Nicky only taught the twins basic greetings and manners in German so that when they meet Erik they could at least greet each other but the twins learnt it fluently in their own time without Nicky knowing
Abby and Wymack
They got legally married but instead of a wedding they had a dinner party at their house
They cook together almost every night (Abby is cooking and Wymack is TRYING to cook)
They go on a date every Friday night if they can
They are both very private about their relationship and keep to themselves instead of parading their love around for everyone to see
Abby helps Wymack shave most of the time because he #sucks
They have a daughter together sometime in the future (probably wouldn’t happen but idc😒) and Kevin is her best friend. He buys presents and spoils her whenever he comes to visit
She also absolutely adores Dan and Matt
Katelyn and Aaron and Kevin
Aaron and Katelyn are messy sleepers and move around A LOT so Kevin has woken up from being kicked in the face or something an ridiculous amount of times
Aaron kisses Kevin’s hands and Katelyn’s head/hair a lot, Kevin kisses Aaron’s forehead and katelyns shoulders a lot, then Katelyn kisses Aaron’s cheeks and Kevin’s forehead a lot
Katelyn and Aaron wear eachother and Kevin’s clothes a lot but Kevin barely wears theirs because most of it’s too small for him
Katelyn taught them both how to plait hair and sometimes when they are bored she’ll sit on the floor infront of them while they plait one side each and whoever does the best plait wins
They had a shared playlist but Kevin was banned from adding songs to it because his music taste is bad
Cat and Laila
Bicker like an old married couple
Matching outfits AND hair for banquets but Laila has really long hair and cat has short hair so they are not always FULLY matching hairstyles
Just have a lot of matching things like pajamas and jewellery etc
Sometimes when it’s just them home they play music and slow dance in the kitchen/sitting room quietly
Cat is an ‘organised mess’ kinda person while laila is just a messy person
Friendships/Family:
Katelyn and Neil
Bully Aaron every chance they get bro trust🙏 “look at him” “ikr what a nerd” “I can hear you both😐”
Katelyn is just messing around but Neil is probably actually bullying him LMFAO
Dressed up as each other for Halloween once without telling anybody and gave the twins whip lash
Neil helps her with maths and will help Aaron too if he’s there but Aaron is actually good at maths so he doesn’t need it most of the time
Katelyn was watching when Marissa was asking for Neil’s number because she was the one that told her to ‘go for it!’ And when Marissa got back Katelyn was in tears laughing
They have a secret hand shake that is unnecessarily complicated
Katelyn has bright ginger hair while Neil (cannonicly) had Auburn/dark ginger hair
Aaron and Matt
Aaron was a little awkward about their slowly forming friendship and often tried pushing Matt away but Matt was a little oblivious to it
Randy loved Aaron and always tells Matt to invite him over for the holidays
Whenever Aaron has a nightmare he doesn’t like sleeping by himself and has woken up next to Matt many times because Matt told him he can just sleep in his bed if it makes him feel better
They get really competitive with each other over video games
They play fight/tackle eachother at the most random times and Matt usually wins
Matt had a pair of Spider-Man pajama bottoms and Aaron has a pair of Batman pajama bottoms (Matt bought them)
Matt was the best man at Aaron and Katelyn’s wedding
Matt is Aaron’s first ever best friend
Neil and Matt
Matt gets Neil into playing video games with him sometimes and Neil is wayyyyy better than Matt so he regrets ever letting Neil have a go
There is a photo taped to the photo wall of Neil sitting on matts shoudlers with the biggest smile on his face because he’s laughing and doing this 💪😆💪 LMAO matts doing 💪😁 because he has to hold Neil with his other hand
Matt always holds his hand up high when giving Neil a high five so Neil has to jump to high five him back
Andrew and Neil are the designated babysitters for the team (when they aren’t working obviously) and matt and dans son is constantly copying them and the things they say
Matt insists on them having ‘bro nights’ at least once a week
Matt is Andreils biggest fan
They have a bromance so strong you’d think their actually inlove with each other sometimes, Dan thinks it’s hilarious (Andrew does too but they can’t know that🙄🙄)
Dan, Allison, Renee (+Katelyn!)
Renee, Allison and Dan have girls nights and slumber parties sometimes and after awhile they start inviting Katelyn
When Renee was re-dying her hair once Allison asked her to put pink and black underneath the blonde but she only kept it for a year (Mcbing Allison🫡)
Tumblr media
Allison and Katelyn gossip like nobody ever could, they know everything and everyone bro
Dressed up as the powerpuff girls for Halloween once
Aaron, Andrew and Nicky
Nicky was the one that bought Andrew his armbands. Nicky took them shopping for some extra things like clothes and school supplies etc before they went home and Andrew picked them up, Nicky saw him looking at them and told him he can get them if he wants (Nicky never knew why Andrew wanted them until thanksgiving)
Nicky cut the twins hair for them up until the left collage. To begin with it was just Aaron’s hair he did but eventually Andrew trusted him enough for him to cut his too (I don’t think Andrew would like a hairdressers due to a stranger having to touch him and I just think Aaron would hate getting his hair cut)
They had movie nights together before collage every now and again but didn’t have the time for them once they joined the foxes. One night, after the books take place, Nicky asked if the wanted to have one and they ended up meeting in Aaron’s dorm to watch it. Aaron fell asleep against Nicky’s shoulder and while Andrew fell asleep last at the other side of their make shift sofa bed thing
Aaron and Nicky met once or twice when they were little but Aaron doesn’t remember
They have a groupchat and Nicky has the twins contacts saved as ‘thing 1’ and ‘thing 2’
A part of Nicky was upset Andrew never told him he was gay and at some point he asked him if it was because he felt like he couldn’t and Andrew looked him up and down and asked if he was being serious LMAO
Aarons had glasses since he was little but Andrew only got his after moving in with Nicky
Aaron and Andrew eventually just end up sharing most of their clothes either each other after awhile
andrew and aaron both have a very contagious laugh if you’re lucky enough to hear it
Allison, Renee, Neil and Andrew
DOUBLE DATES GUYS TRUST🙏🙏🙏 I think Renee and Allison are more of a dinner date kind of couple while Neil are a staying in or like going on a drive type of couple so they all agree on something that they would all like. a small café or something yk?
Andrew doesn’t gossip but will slide Allison information he’s heard, Renee doesn’t gossip and doesn’t particularly enjoy listening to it, Neil doesn’t gossip but he’ll listen if Allison is, Allison loves gossip and looses her mind when she’s with them
Renee and Andrew have a video of neil and Allison doing karaoke and dancing while drunk in the dorms but nobody else knows about them (not even Neil and Allison)
Allison and Andrew are the best gift givers on the team🫡
Allison put glam makeup on Neil once for fun and the look and Andrews face had them in stitched laughing
I think it would be cute if Allison and Renee adopted a daughter in the future and she would LOVE Andrew and Neil and always want them to ‘come over and play’
^^^Andrew always lets her get away with everything. “Do you want some..?” “My mums said I can’t have sweets before dinner😞” “well they aren’t here right now and I say you can”
Allison and Andrew eventually end up becoming somewhat friends after awhile and she paints his nails for him a lot because she claims he’s ’bad at it’
Neil and Allison
She drags him along for shopping sprees a lot and often ends up buying him clothes even though he has the money for his own
^^^when she and Andrew get closer, there will be a few times she’ll be looking, pick something up and go “you’re buying this for Andrew” and shove it into Neil’s hands
She and Neil have matching skincare headbands/hair-clips
Allison made all Neil’s social media accounts and showed him how to change things like his profile info and how to post. All he’s ever EVER posted is a selfie he has with Allison, a picture of Andrew + the cats and a group photo of the foxes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
^^^something similar to this (yes I know that’s the Yellowjackets cats but just imagine it’s the foxes instead LMAO)
She used him as a model when making clothes sometimes (she used Renee as one too🤭���)
she made him try do her makeup once and he put the fake eyelashes on her eyebrows

Sharing My Story
Trigger Warning for mentions of: Eating disorders, abuse, emotional blackmail, self harm, threats of  suicide, sexual assault, physical assault, racism, homophobia/bigotry ideals and manipulation
^Please only read if you have read the warning!^
I’ve been wanting to talk about this for some times as it has been so many years and yet I still get PTSD from this.
When I was 15-16 I was in a relationship with someone I’ll just call ‘that guy’/‘guy’ (I don’t even want to give him a creative name). I will also specify that he is the same age as me although when I started dating him I was told by a doctor that my mental age was apparently “half my actual age”.
Now I can’t even remember how this relationship started because to me it felt like “Oh we’ve been hanging out for a long time, I guess we’re going out now” also just to make it clear I had only been in one other relationship before this one and I’d felt the same way, I currently identify as grey aro/ace although I still question myself on it.
And a small detail about before this relationship, I had actually witnessed ‘that guy’ grab a half full bottle of water and hold a student while repeatedly hitting them really really hard with it, idk why at the time I didn’t see this as a red flag but then again I was about 14-15.
In this relationship at first I was told to be quiet about it unless I’d expressed how it made me feel sad as I was to feel like ‘that guy’ was ashamed of me for some reason.
I don’t want to go into full detail of every single thing that happened as it was very traumatic so the less I think about it the better. I’m going to make a list of things that happened instead.
• Kicked me in the head
• Hit me on my lower back
• Pulled my arm so hard my shoulder was in pain for a few weeks
• Bullied my ex and tried to convince me that my ex assaulted me
• Told me that I was “practically a boy” because I was bi (I wasn’t at the time) and that he was a girl because he was bi (Just pointing out how he seems to associate someone’s sexually with their gender identity)
• Would start an argument if I show little discomfort/felt upset by something he did or said
• Said he would kill my favourite tv show characters if he got the chance (I’m autistic and I think you can see why telling an autistic teen this is pretty fucked up)
• Made fun of and got angry at me for my autistic traits such as not liking loud sounds, bright lights and repetitive sounds and motion
• Referred to my eating disorder, ARFID as “being a picky eater” and when I expressed it upset me he showed no remorse and said he was “just joking”
• Putting words in my mouth. For example if he asked “Why would someone suddenly be acting different?” And I would reply “Idk. A big change in their life, loss of someone close, drugs, alcohol, into something new, money?” He would turn around say I was accusing him of doing drugs (I really don’t know how he would make those stretches)
• Manipulated me into acting in a way that was more sexual than what I was comfortable with
• Would then tell me off for said behaviour but then would make remarks or show disinterest in me when I stopped
• Touched me without permission or while I was asleep even though I had expressed discomfort or even said no (I would wake up from it or have noticeable signs of it when I woke up)
• Made jokes about Asian people’s eyes
• Isolated me from friends and made it so I could only be friends with his friends
• Threats of self harm and taking his own life when he wouldn’t get his way
I know that was long and thank you if you’ve read this far. This is very hard for me to write as I keep needing to take breaks to calm myself down.
When I was 15-16 I was very into Rick and Morty and I suggested it to ‘that guy’ since I genuinely thought he would like it. He said we’d watched it before but I pointed out that he was never paying attention to which he just seemed to flip out about. I told him it wasn’t going to work to which he threatened self harm and worse so I agreed to stay with him. The next day he then “broke up with me” as far as I was concerned it had already ended when I said it wasn’t going to work but we still tried to be friends.
After that I had so many nice and kind people come back into my life which I was a very emotional thing for me because it felt like I was asleep or cut off from reality before hand. It seemed that the rest of the school knew about ‘guy’s’ behaviour as no one wanted to talk to him or be friends with him after everything, we could just stand in this corner staring at me and my friends while texting as we spent our breaks talking and such.
A few days after it happened I was sat with my friends and suddenly got a call from my mum saying that ‘guy’s’ parents had called her saying that I had been bullying him to which I had to point out that no, I wasn’t bullying him. I was just sitting with my friends and talking while ‘that guy’ was staring at us in a corner.
After that I did my exams and went to college only to find out that ‘guy’ had copied me on what course I was taking, I had actual helped him get into a different course to me but he still decided to take the course I was taking.
Now I did try to be civil, I didn’t acknowledge him or talk about him/to him until he asked if we could be friends(I was 16 at the time btw, I’m the UK you go to college at about 16 and then uni after about 3 years). I foolishly said yes.
One day my friend who I’d met in that course who had ME was going to be late and was worried about being seated near someone who kept messaging them about drinking and made them uncomfortable. I had a different class before our one so I asked ‘that guy’ if he could save them a seat and he said no which I was fine with but then he went on to say that I was “bullying him by asking him to save them a seat” and after I told him that’s not how it worked he said “I wouldn’t let him be bi while we were dating”, I was actually very supportive and happy for him during that time. I told him repeatedly to leave me alone and blocked him.
Now for this last bit I’m going to go back about it. Before we started dating he was dating another girl who had left our school due to depression and I was actually close with her and I was very sad and worried when she left. Idk how they broke up but the girl was at my college and I was so relieved and happy that she was okay I went to say hello to her. She screamed at me and I went home that day because someone had told me that ‘guy’ had “told everyone I abused him”(I also found out that she started dating ‘guy’), this was so overwhelming and upsetting that it is actually what started my PTSD.
Despite what I had managed to survive, doing the right thing by not talking to him or about him (apart from to two close friends at the time) and worrying about someone for years who I had no contact with I was now being accused of this horrible horrible thing that I had to live through. I even struggled to stand properly that day because of how scared, breathless and distraught I felt. I had even become terrified of saying his name because that’s how much hearing or saying it would fill me with fear.
They were reported and felt with for what had happened but for the rest of the year ‘guy’ and his girlfriend harassed and bullied me and they even harassed my mother at certain points. It was the worst first year of college I think anyone could’ve had and I would never wish it on anyone.
After that I went into the next year being in a different group to him(it’s also where I met my current best friend)and then the following year the groups merged but it seemed he didn’t have any friends again and I had actually made friends with some of the people he told I was abusive. One even said while I was helping them at their house “I’m sorry that I believed him, you’re actually really sweet and nice” which felt amazing to hear after all that trauma.
Today I still suffer with really bad PTSD attacks related to what happened before and during that first year of college. I guess I get paranoid that maybe the same thing will happen again somehow in the future so making this post is my way of venting about this, and bringing awareness to it as I know I’m not the only one who has been abused only to have that person tell you “it’s your fault” or “you’re actually the abusive one” despite having had to deal with similar or even the same thing as me. And people like ‘that guy’ will always be around trying to snake their way back into your life just to hurt you or make themselves a victim just so they don’t have to feel bad about what they did to you.
To finish this off I want to sort of say what I would to my younger self, dealing with what happened.
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to protect you and I’m sorry that you suffered. From the bottom of my heart and everything I am, I am sorry. You deserve better than what happened to you and don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. I know you put yourself down a lot but you are going to make some amazing things and meet amazing people who love you and care for you. Don’t let this hold you back, you are more than this horrible thing that happened to you so don’t let it consume you. You are loved and capable of so much. Don’t ever stop being your happy silly and imaginative self, I love that side of you and I will not stop loving you. Please take care of yourself.

This is a slight TW question, so feel no obligation to answer:
How would horrortale Sans react to an S/O with an eating disorder?
TW for eating disorder(s) (nearly only ARFID is spoken about, anorexia is mentioned)
If I missed any tags you think I should've included, please tell me.
This may sound a bit strange, but I’ve actually been wanting to write something for this, specifically because I suffer from an eating disorder. I’m not comfortable writing anything with an eating disorder (or any disorder in general) I personally don’t have, mostly because I don’t have the time to give it the proper research it deserves, so I’ll be writing about a lesser known eating disorder, that being ARFID. Let me explain it so people who don’t know what it is will, uh, know what it is lol
ARFID - also commonly called “Selective Eating Disorder” - stands for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. A lot of people with it are characterised as being “picky eaters”, but it goes to a point where it’s seriously unhealthy and crosses a line that makes it into something more serious. It has to do with sensory processing issues, rather than self-image issues (though self-image issues could also play a part in it I'm pretty sure, but it’s not the main “motivation”). Most people with ARFID actually wish they could go up in weight, but can’t because they can’t make themselves eat. I, for one, desperately wish I could just eat like a normal person, both because it’s very… not convenient to only have around 20 or less meals I can eat (and that list is slimming down as I grow tired of my safe foods*) and also I’m skinny enough to match Papyrus in looks, which isn’t very confidence-inspiring when you’re supposed to be a human and not a sentient magical skeleton, believe it or not. Whereas a person without ARFID could eat most things, including things they don’t really enjoy eating, somebody with ARFID might not be physically able to. For example, I literally throw up food that I don’t like (and I’ve gagged while eating food I do like due to seeing somebody eat something I don’t like and/or just smelling other food nearby). When I'm to try a new food, I have on more than one occasion gotten anxiety attacks. That’s how bad it can be.
*a "safe food" is food you know you can eat without panicking/throwing up/getting triggered in one way or another
I’ll be basing these HCs off of myself, so keep that in mind. You’re free to point out misinformation (and I, in fact, encourage you to point it out if I somehow got something wrong) but I ask that you stay respectful and don’t make fun of this. I doubt it would happen, but this topic means a lot to me and is really serious. So yeah please don’t be rude or invalidate people. Anyways onto the headcanons (which aren’t in the usual format, sorry if that bothers you)
Dusk (HT Sans) wouldn’t really understand. He’s able to eat pretty much anything (not like he had much of a choice for a while) and food is important… But he’ll try to understand. Especially because he can accommodate you. He’ll be fine eating the same meals, however “boring” they are, over and over because like I said: not a picky eater. Any food is good in his book. So long as you’re not restricting him and his food intake and so long as you aren’t dying from starvation and/or malnutrition, you’re free to do whatever.
It does annoy him when you go to social gatherings and you can’t eat the food because it’s not one of your safe foods. He’s not going to let you just starve yourself when there’s perfectly fine food just waiting for you. Not gonna lie, he’s pretty insensitive the first time this happens. Basically, he’ll pull you over when he notices you’re not eating anything and try to convince you to eat. Starts out really gentle and encouraging, but when you don’t budge he becomes increasingly agitated and insistent until he hisses that you’re making a fuss over nothing. Needless to say, you aren’t thrilled and it starts a pretty serious argument that probably ends with you either leaving, starting to cry or blowing up at him. He feels bad when it’s all said and done and apologises, because he realises after some thought that he wasn’t being helpful and he decided to do more research again. Even if he forgot it all like he did the first time he tried researching ARFID, it would have been worth a shot. After that, he’ll instead pack food with him for you whenever you go somewhere. It doesn’t matter if it’s “socially acceptable”, because like I said, you’re not starving if he’s got something to do with it.
He’ll also, after coming around to realise the best he can do to help you isn’t trying to push you out of your comfort zone forcefully, try to make sure there’s always at least one of your safe foods available. Don’t get me wrong though, he’ll still encourage you to expand on your list of safe foods. He’s got memory issues so he sometimes forgets, which he feels really bad about, but he has multiple alarms set to make sure you eat properly for the most part. (He’s got an alarm for nearly every minute of the day and he has his calendar full of things as mundane as “make sure s/o eats” and “do laundry”, by the way.) I have a tendency to skip lunch because I simply don’t like food, but he’d put a stop to that lol
To summarize, the whole thing with you having an ED starts off with the two of you having a rocky start before Dusk comes around to be really good at handling it.
Anyways sorry if you meant an ED like anorexia. I know most people write about things like that, but like I said: I’m not really up for writing things that I have to pour hours of research into to make sure I portray it respectfully and accurately because I don’t have that time or patience. (Or attention span, tbh.) Also, I literally hadn’t heard of ARFID for like… the majority of my life, I’ve only known it’s a “thing” for like. A few months. I really thought I was the only one who was so picky with my food and it made me feel alone and isolated (ESPECIALLY after I went to a "specialist" (not sure if she was actually a specialist anymore because her technique to get me to eat was to give my a small glass that I'd pour sauce into to try it every time it was served which obviously didn't work lmao) to help me when I was like six and she said she’d “never seen somebody this bad” before not giving me a diagnosis (as far as I know)), so if anybody with undiagnosed ARFID is reading this:
you're not alone. I know it’s difficult to deal with this - it can be humiliating and embarrassing and horrible and terrible in so many ways - but you can do it. It’s so hard, so fucking hard to step out of your comfort zone and try to expand on your list of safe foods, but you can do it. I believe in you. You aren’t alone and you can learn to have a healthier diet, please just try. I’ll be honest in that you’re probably never going to completely overcome this, ARFID is something that likely stays with you forever, but you can make it into a smaller problem. You can turn it into something so much smaller and inconsequential that you won't encounter any more embarrassing situations where you can't eat what you're given. To a point where you won't have to use the excuses "I already ate", "I'm not hungry", etc anymore. It’ll take time and patience, but you can do it. Don’t give up, okay? <3

𝓼𝓲𝓬𝓴𝓵𝔂 - 𝓽𝓸 𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀
pt. 3
word count: 1, 802
●WARNING: mention of several mental illnesses (eating disorders, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, OCD, alcohol abuse, and more) I do not go into deep detail of each, more so simply mentioning the names, but if you are easily triggered please don't read. the reason I am mentioning these illnesses is because the boys(in my ff) suffer from several of them. all the mental illnesses mentioned in this chapter and their corresponding member are not based on true facts or actual evidence. this is fictional.●
Tumblr media
"ah, well i graduated from college a while ago. majored in world language, i had this crazy dream of being a translator. but i obviously don't do that, although i've recently applied to several companies, i haven't heard from any." you ended with a neutral smile, making eye contact with the oldest who was nodding in understanding. "but i asked Jungkook which classes he took, since he still is a youngling."
you chuckle at your wording, along with the others. Hoseok even ruffling the man's hair teasingly.
"uhm, i do programming, computer stuff...yeah, it's nothing interesting like the arts b-but it's what i d-do best." a weak smile was on his lips and you chuckle softly.
"no, that sounds cute. you seem to be like a tech nerd, please take no offense. i mean to compliment you." you said, saving your mistake last second. even if they were younger than you, the level of respect and professionalism still had to be present between all of you.
red was painted across jungkook's face...he was cute to you? taehyung and jimin clenched the utensils on their hands, annoyed with how jungkook unknowingly one upped them. yoongi and hoseok sent glares to jungkook. namjoon and jin simply smiled, although they were fuming internally.
"oh, thank you..."
you nodded, biting into the food present in front of you. the taste was extravagant, even if it was a simple dish.
"my gosh, who made this? it is delicious." you moaned out, wiping your mouth. "this is so good, and home made?"
"that would be me, darling. and of course, home made. i like being able to overlook the food the boys eat, make sure they get their nutrients and stuff. i try to limit the amount of time they eat out,but sometimes i can't control it. especially if i'm in another country." you nodded impressed with the subtle fact he dropped, whether he did it on purpose or not.
"what do you guys do? i'm intrigued now with your professions." you said, resting your heaad on your hand.
"well, i graduated already...but i run my own dance studio. you should stop by sometime! we've won a couple awards, i'm very proud of my students!" hoseok smiles wide, and you could easily tell how much dance meant to him.
"i'm taking online classes for psychology. going to college is such a hassle, online is so much easier." namjoon says with a heavy sigh which you jokingly cheers to. making the males laugh at your humor.
"we, my friend, are on the same page!" you said and he laughed, making you smile widely.
"i produce music. i post my works on soundcloud...i promise i'm not like every other soundcloud rapper. i actually care about what i make, rather than the views it'll give me. i also have interest in photography, but tae is much better than me." yoongi was quiet and fidgeting when he saw the gaze of you on him. but at his last statement, you pouted a bit.
"i'm sure you two have your own styles and qualities in your work. also i've never met a producer before, i look forward to listening to your work as your career prgresses." you smiled kindly at him and he ducked his down to hide his blush. you chuckle before moving your gaze to the eldest at the table.
"oh, my turn. about time~" the boys scoffed and his attitude when you chuckled, at ease in his presence. "i mainly stay at home and do work in my office, but when push comes to shove i do have to leave the country. i'm heir to my father's company, so i have to take responsibility sometimes...and you must be wondering. so i'll answer the question now. the reason why i'm in this wheelchair is because i was in a bad accident when i was young." he nodded solemnly, although he was smiling weakly. there was a silence as you took the words in. "thank God my face was spared though."
he cupped his cheek, initiating a innocent look as everyone broke into a smile, looking over to the man with a wonder.
how could someone be so positive after such a horrific event? which was what you were thinking.
but the rest of the boys simply sighed in relief at their hyung. he was always a good liar. and they were lucky you were completely politely innocent and oblivious to their hyung's lie. he had lied more than once to you already, cheeky person he was
"yes, your face was surely spared." you said joining in with the joke.
the rest of the dinner consisted of you bonding over little things. your love for all kinds of games (including pranks) was shared with jungkook, love for animal life with namjoon, sleep with yoongi, culinary with jin, free expression with hoseok, puppies and dogs with taehyung, and family and friends with jimin. the general direction of every conversation was satisfying as it ended with everyone having a smile on their faces.
you had helped clean up, already beginning your new task as a house maid/nurse. "so what would like me to focus on as my first days?" you asked after everything was cleaned. the youngest had to go to their rooms, to begin getting ready for bed since they had school tomorrow. all their classes were in the morning which was fortunate for you since you would be driving them there from now on...and it didn't seem like fun to constantly drive back to the house and then to the university.
namjoon, who was standing in front of you, moved to the study table in the living room, and took a Manila folders into his hands. it seemed like a thick stack of papers and as you looked closer, there were a total of 7.
"no formal work, but all 7 of us saw it appropriate to give you an introduction to our needs. what exactly is wrong with us, y'know? we trust you're experience enough for this so we are confident you'll do just fine."
you took the stack of papers and thanked him. you walked through the house to find your room, which hoseok had shown you right after dinner was finished, and you still marveled at the sight.
it was a grand gray and white minimalistic bedroom with a huge bed in the center. there was also a large ledge with a window that you could sit on to see the night sky. you maneuvered your way over to the study table, turning the lap on to begin "studying" the males.
●𝖐𝖎𝖒 𝖘𝖊𝖔𝖐𝖏𝖎𝖓 / kim seokjin
disabilities/disorders: unable to move bottom half of body, a light case of schizophrenia, requires special attention on getting ready in the morning (may include dressing and showering)
meds: need daily dose for schizophrenia
your brows furrowed. that existed? you knew schizophrenia existed, but meaning a light case would specifically show what? you just shrugged and decided to what the papers were saying.
●𝖒𝖎𝖓 𝖞𝖔𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖎 / min yoongi
disabilities/disorders: OCD, severe depression, social anxiety, prone to panic and anxiety attacks in a crowd of many people, values his personal space-do not enter his personal bubble unless asked
meds: needs dose for OCD, depression
you nodded slowly, understanding the conditions and seeing the familiar names once again. you've had patients like him before, but everyone is different, so you will still be careful.
●𝖏𝖚𝖓𝖌 𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖊𝖔𝖐 / jung hoseok
disabilities/disorders: bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, fits of anger are dangerous, act hostile in any case and alert one of the other tenants immediately
meds: dose for ADHD & OCD
sudden shortness of his list made you a bit hopeful that taking care of 7 males wouldn't be as hard as it seemed. then again, you willingly signed up for this so you shouldn't be complaining in any way.
●𝖐𝖎𝖒 𝖓𝖆𝖒𝖏𝖔𝖔𝖓 / kim namjoon
disabilities/disorders: depression, OCD, past with alcohol abuse (currently in rehab)
meds: dose for depression and OCD
you pouted slightly, only being able to imagine how hard it must be to recover from alcoholism. and it was saddening to see such an intellectual and kind person such as Namjoon suffer from the mental illness, although that could be said about everyone you had previously read.
●𝖕𝖆𝖗𝖐 𝖏𝖎𝖒𝖎𝖓 / park jimin
disabilities/disorders: ARFID, anxiety, prone to panic and anxiety attacks
meds: none
reading the single line you let yourself think of the moment he introduced himself. he was enthusiastic about meeting you, it made you smile at the memory. you were suddenly thankful for getting such a sweet and honey-like expression out of the man.
●𝖐𝖎𝖒 𝖙𝖆𝖊𝖍𝖞𝖚𝖓𝖌 / kim taehyung
disabilities/disorders: OCD, ADD, brief psychotic disorder - periods are short and caused by stress, not dangerous unless triggered by something you do or say
meds: dose for OCD, ADD, and best if given sleep meds during pyschotic episodes
you nodded slowly, understanding and keeping the directions in the back of your mind.
●𝖏𝖊𝖔𝖓 𝖏𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖐𝖔𝖔𝖐 / jeon jungkook
disabilities/disorders: DID, psychotic, anxiety
meds: dose to limit psychotic episodes
the 3 things on the list made your eyebrows furrow. the 3 seemed to make a terrible combination and you began thinking of how calm Jungkook was before. You hoped you wouldn't encounter any bad alters of Jungkook, if he had any bad ones. and, honestly, you were a bit uneducated in the DID field, so you were determined to learn more tonight with the help of the internet.
and the last sheet in each file were filed letters to make sure you caught it :
THEY SHOULD NEVER BE KEPT UNSUPERVISED FOR A LONG TIME. MEDICATION IS IN THE CABINET IN YOUR ROOM WITH PADLOCK TO AVOID OVERDOSES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COMPLIANCE.
you took the words seriously, seeing the urgency in the message. shutting the folders, you stacked all of them in one pile and moved to freshen up. a shower was needed as you climbed into the steaming bathroom. after washing yourself, you climbed into bed and soon you were falling asleep. you fell asleep thinking about how tomorrow would be your first day of your new job.
a/n- thank you so much for the support of this book!!! I hope you guys stay tuned and enjoy the rest of the journey with yabdere!bts
oooh, curious question
》what other times do you think jin lied to you? hmmm?

Her journal, open.
What is in their bin? A years worth of receipts after she finally emptied her wallet. Seed packets. Tissues. 
What is in their purse or wallet? Lots of receipts and business cards. A few bank cards. Lots of change but no notes.
What is in their pockets? Her phone and earplugs. Her jacket pockets are stuffed: rocks and shells she likes, seed packets, tissues, gloves, various bits of rubbish she has picked up, pens, a tiny notebook
What is their most treasured possession? Her hardrive
 Spirituality
Do they believe in the afterlife? She hopes is doesn’t exist - the idea of still being alive after you die is horrifying

What do they think heaven is? Heaven is in the moments of bliss
What do they think hell is? The world we are currently living in
Are they superstitious? She thinks other things are out there and around us but she isn’t scared of that. She likes to leave apples outside for the ghosts and fae

Daily life
What are their eating habits? They won’t eat things if they are in the wrong order. Eating is boring so she wont do it unless she is actually hungry. She has lots of ‘bad’ foods - tomatoes (puree is okay), cucumber, bananas, mushrooms, dates, oranges (orange juice is okay). Fizzy drinks. ARFID

What would they do if they won the lottery? Split the money between her, her sister, her mum and a little tiny bit for her dad so he doesn’t hate her.

If you know anything about autism, please read this!
I'm a 20 y/o girl with a physical disability. I've always been the "weird one" at kindergarten and school. But I was never diagnosed with a mental disorder. However, when I got into middle school, I learnt more about mental disorders and wondered if I could be affected. I considered having social anxiety, depression, ARFID, trauma and other unspecified disorders.
Some weeks ago, I started to get educated on autism. I'm a hobby author and wanted to write about an autistic girl, so I did some research. While writing and doing research, I started to relate more and more to my character's story. I could easily describe her having problems with and not being interested in social interaction with peers. I related to her while I wrote scenes where she felt left out like an alien for not being like the others, where she didn't know how to keep a conversation going without being boring, where she struggles to find out at what point in a conversation or phone call she can start to talk and when it's time to be quiet and listen. While writing about her needing a routine and not being able to accept even small changes in her life, I felt like I was writing about myself.
At some point, I decided to do more research and I read about typically autistic food intake problems. There are plenty of accounts, blogs,... for parents of autistic children about food. And I feel like these are exactly describing my own problems with eating. I've always been difficult when it comes to food, I'm considered a picky eater but I know it's more. Picky eating is different. My eating habits are terrible and I can't change it no matter how hard I try. For example, I need my mum to cut bananas in a certain way and remove brown parts of it so that I can eat it. And bananas are even a SAFE fruit for me, it's the fruit I can eat best on its own, there's actually barely any other fruit I eat in a "normal" way. Just for example.
I'm hypersensitive about sensory experiences. Many noises that others don't consider annoying maybe a little bit, literally hurt me. I'm very sensitive to smells, I feel sick if someone's eating a tomato or strawberry anywhere in the room and going by train is often almost making me throw up because of the many different smells. In a lecture hall, I notice the slight smell of smoke at people's jackets even though they are more than 10m away from me and I'm sitting next to the window.
I'm easily distracted: I can concentrate on a book I like for more than 1, sometimes even 3 hours, but if I'm not 100% into the thing I'm supposed to do, it's hard for me to stay focused for more than 5 minutes without help.
Even the less important symptoms like noticing many details and being fascinated by dates, patterns,... apply to me.
There are also other autism symptoms that I think apply to me, but I can't list them all.
I kinda suspect I'm autistic despite not being diagnosed during my whole childhood - even though I saw a psychologist a couple of times and I used to have doctor's appointments regularly.
I plan to ask my mum if I can see a professional to possibly get a diagnosis or get the confirmation that I'm NOT autistic. I think about not telling her details but I'm going to only say that I'm suspecting something and I want to see a professional to get it confirmed or not (it might not be the nicest way because she would worry but I know that I couldn't tell her before I spoke to a doctor).
Since I'm still insecure about the whole thing, it would really help me if you could tell me about your (or someone you know) story. How did you notice you're autistic? How does it show?
Even though I'm feeling like 95% of autism symptoms (that are mentioned online or in books) apply to me, I somehow feel like I'm exaggerating and maybe I'm just reading too much about it. I'm not really scared of getting the diagnosis - I would actually be relieved because it'd make sense and explain so much about my life starting from kindergarten until now.
I fear that my suspicion is ridiculous. I've always been different, shy, socially awkward and mocked by classmates. I've always wondered why I'm even different when it came to things that's couldn't be related to my physical illnesses. Why I couldn't have normal convos with classmates, why my ideas in houseplay were considered strange and dumb, why I never liked what my classmates were interested in, ...
But I'm scared that I'm over interpreting it and it's just me, not a disorder or something else, and that my suspicion is the most unrealistic thing my doctor will hear that week.
