Re: your coworker getting sniffed. I've had a lot of customers (and coworkers) sniff me before. It's so fucking weird. I've been told more than once that they know I'm working by the fact I leave a trail of scent that smells like fresh baked cupcakes. Like. I can not Express HOW weird it is

HUHHHH 😭 im so sorry that sounds extremely unpleasant

#hi im j here 2 talk . saw this cow yday so i drew her and now u get 2 say hi #but omffgg my gd i dont know if any of u relate but i feel like my ability to socialize w others #specifically online and speciifically in interest-circles has gotten so much harder for no reason whatsoever #like im just becoming more self conscious ab how i portray myself and its so weird bc like . LIKEE I DONT KNOW like . ok #people r super njce . always super nice and reach out to me and talk w me or i reach out first and they respond and r soo sweet #and something happens in my brain where like . i feel like im suddenly like . inserting myself where i dont belong (not true) but why am i #the bus driver all of a sudden . in all of these situations . me when i just show up like hey #i think i j feel annoying >__< . and i dont want to bother other people but said people r literally never bothered ykwim like Will Reach Out #and im the one that pulls back but 4 no reason . i cant even think ab why i do that .why am i doing this 🧨#so many ppl i want to genuinely befriend in all of these spaces but im self sabotaging soo frwaking bad #literally rn thinking of some dms i left on read bc i panicked or mutuals ive talked w before who im nervous 2 be familiar w . hrmm #anyways . i kind of wish i had the ability 2 just talk to new people and not actually gaf ab the outcome #HELPP .. early tmblr or wcf or devart where u have thirty million friends 2 now where u r too scared 2 say hi to an almost friend .#me problem though . if not alr clear HEJAHHAAHA i think part of my reluctance also stems from the fact that i know i get this way #and so i dont want 2 rope someone else into that insecurity so i try to keep it at an arms length until i fix it #but i think i also know its a longer & more introspective thing to work on so i do need to just try anyways

Christian: I'm praying for your full healing and recovery

Me: does that mean if I get better it's gonna be answered prayer?

Christian: yes!

Me: soooo you changed the will of God? It was his will that I stay sick but because you prayed I could be healed? I wouldn't have gotten better if you didn't ask? Is it not possible I would get better without prayerful intervention?

Christian: the Lord God listens to his children. We see in Genesis and Exodus that Abraham and Moses are able to intercede for the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah as well as the Israelites after they fell into idolatry. We can change his mind.

Me: kinda sounds like you're begging god not to kill me. That's fucked up!

Christian: that's not what it's like. I'm asking God to intercede on your behalf. He didn't make you sick.

Me: if a doctor has the cure for their patient's illness, but withholds it, for reasons they never provide, wouldn't we want that person to no longer be a doctor? Are they not effectively killing their patient? Is god in his omnipotence not capable of healing any disease?

Christian: of course he is! But this world is fallen, steeped in sin until Christ's return. You might as well ask why God doesn't end all evil. He will in HIS time, according to HIS plan. HIS judgment is perfect. Until then, we live in a world that reflects the consequences of our sin.

Me: so why do you ask for an exception? Why is some suffering justified, necessary as a natural consequence of sin, but here you ask your god for mercy, that I may not have to suffer the consequences of the world man's sin created?

Christian: That's not how prayer works. We pray to grow close to God and align ourselves with His will

Me: so what will you do if the answer to your prayer is no? If I get sicker and sicker until it kills me? Will that be answered prayer? What's the difference between a no and unhearing silence? If your faith falls into your loved one's grave does it make a sound? Will god be there when you weep over me? Will he say "I'm sorry I didn't save him. It had to be this way."? And how will you answer him then? Will you ask why? Will you beg him for an explanation? Will you still worship him if he never gives one?

#exvangelical #ex christian #ex fundamentalist #ex fundie #ex religious #apostate #shoesofatiredman #religious trauma #prayer #im trying to roleplay the frustrating conversation instead of having it IRL #i tried to write what i wouldve written as a Christian #i genuinely dont know how to respond to what i asked at the end so thats why im stopping there LOL

I love how you can purposely cater you internet experience to block most politics so you can mentally detox since your media consumption was becoming unhealthy, and still have a whole week of attempting to regain your hope in humanity become completely undone by wanting to eat lunch with your mom (ramble in tags, feel free to ignore; take care of yourselves first <3)

#politics #us politics #tags so people can block this post #it's just so cool and awesome that things work like that #i was genuinely doing so much better #i was engaging with news in a healthier way #i was fixing my focus on what to do moving forward #but then i had the audacity to want to eat lunch with my mother instead of holing up in my room #she turned on fox news and i tuned it out... talking about stuff with them always turns into debates and its mentality exhausting #so i generally just keep my mouth shut unless asked #but then she started commenting on the news out loud #and so being a personable person i did my best to respond #they were talking about mass deportation of ''illegal criminals'' and she asked out loud why they havent sent them away already #so i said “oh well its expensive and there's not always places that are willing to take them”... left my opinion on the sentiment out of it #that was the WRONG thing to say apparently #devolved into a debate where she ultimately said “ok but it was a rhetorical question and i didnt actually want an answer”#how was i supposed to know that????? im the only person in the room??? thats not what rhetorical questions are used for??????#so we moved on from the topic #she said something along the lines of “pff and people come in illegally and still want to seek asylum”#so again i speak up #told her (with a quick google search to back it up) that people can either apply for asylum at the border or after entering illegally #as long as its within a year of entering #that was ALSO THE WRONG THING TO SAY #she reiterated that she still wasn't asking and added “im just watching the news; i dont want to google anything”#and im like...#...one; she mentioned in her “thinking out loud” rambles that she's aware that i dont like to talk about this stuff with her #but that this stuff is important to talk about... which i took as a “why won't you talk with me?”#so ouch #but also... whY ARE YOU WATCHING THE NEWS IF YOU DON'T CARE TO VERIFY ANY OF IT #im out of tags to ramble in but I'm still so hurt and mad and i have been reminded how little people care about compassion and factuality

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is

#ive been overthinking 1 light and casual mildly funny response to something but im worried itll come off as disrespectful and dismissive And #make me seem stupid and uncaring all at the same time. and also be seen as insulting. but like idt itd be insulting right like. im not #saying what it is so ig for all you guys know im like I mean if i say All your shit suck ball and i hateit kys. <- thats not the thing i was #going to say #like it doesnt matter now the window for response is closed now but i feel stupid bc i shouldve just said it it was light and casual. im so #bad at keeping convos gojng im convinced im not going to survive. In like a light and casual way like in a He will not make it through the #winter joke way. dw. im not going to do anything bc i had One failed interaction. if i was going to do anythjng itd be bc of the 8000000 #other failed interactions. But im not. anyways. it just makes me feel so useless 😭 like i want to respond i want to talk to ppl so bad but #i feel like i mess things up Irreparably every time i speak OR i take too LONG overthinking my response and then i just cant respond bc its #been too long and then its been 3 years and the only messages ive ever sent r my intro message and 1 message 2 years ago that nobody #responded to at all. or the conversation stopped immediately after. and like i used to be better at this i was lkke. talkative in a couple #muts servers like. i talked 2 ppl daily in those servers and i had fun and like. I was an important part of the group and i felt like it #but i just feel like such an outsider for Everything and its literally my fault bc i cant just like. Talk. The explosion. bc im always like #im gonna try im gonna do it this time im gonna get it back im going to finally be Good connor and im going to fix it all and make a Good #solid friend group and ill find HEALTHY LOVE and i wont selfsabotage and ill move out and have a job and ill balance it well and ill start #all my hobbies and ill have a great routine and be so loveable and on top of it and not stressed and content and happy and roll with the #punches and then theres a single hiccup and im like Well fuckinf whatever im going to be an unemployed hermit forever and im going to die b4 #im 25 anyways so Who cares and also im digging a little hole for myself. and its like. AUGHH ik i just have to persevere and overcome but #even saying that feels so stupid its not fucking hard its Talking to ppl. like. i literally if ive ever said a word to you i had to think #avt it and strategize how to respond right even for like. like. it makes it sound like its not genuine it is #like for example i want to say hey i love your art! but then i freak out and im like thats not normal thats like a rly generic comment they #hear that all the time theyll thjnk im being polite and my brains like hrmmm rewrite Your art changed my life. It shaped me. Ill never be #the same. Nad im like ok too far overcorrected go back and the sentence generator is like Your art has colors 💯 like. GOD. WHY IS IT SO #difficult. and then usually i either just dont say anythinf and feel awful abt it 4ever OR i send it on anon and then i spend like 15 #minutes ibsessively slightly tweaking the apelling and capitalization and punctuation to make sure it doesnt seem like its me just in case #it Is the worst possible thing to say but then i see the response and itll be like AWWW TYSM :] THIS MEANS A LOT or whathaveyou and i feel #stupid bc i couldve just Told them this to their face and it wouldve been a good positive interaction we had. but instead i had 2 hide and #tyoe entirely differently so they couldnt sniff me from my typing style. and it soesnt even feel like the thanks is actually 4 me bc i #tweaked the message sm. and it still makes me happy that the oersons hapoy but its like. that couldve been a nice mutual interaction #like not that i need a personal ty i compliment ppl when i Want to compliment ppl and when its genuine yk. i dont do it so i get mutualpoint

that feeling when you get advice from someone who you know is well-meaning and has good intentions....but it's just the most allistic, neurotypical, and/or abled advice you have ever heard and completely invalidates the point you're trying to make about why you struggle to do the thing in the first place.

they're telling you to "do it in this specific way that is completely opposite of how you physically/mentally work" for example, make eye contact/read people's facial expressions and intentions! but you're autistic. initiate verbal conversation and don't be shy! but you're nonverbal or semispeaking. get out of the house more and participate in these physical activities! but you're physically disabled. Just Be Yourself! but you have DID/OSDD/other personality disorder. etc.

i'm sorry. I know you're just trying to help. I appreciate it, really. but it's all things i've heard before and none of it helps me specifically. I have tried (maybe even still try out of habit) and learned I can't just do those things. they don't work for me or cause more issues. practice isn't the issue. not everyone can simply willpower through everything. but thanks for trying 😔✊️

#autistic #autism things #autism #actually autistic #adhd #audhd #neurodivergent #disablity #disabled #too tired to tag other thinhs sorry thats all you get #lee rambles #that feeling when you also just have to pretend to accept their advice and move on because people get so upset when you dont take it #i lesrned if i tell people their advice doesnt suit me and my unique circumstances then they feel bad that they didnt help #they want you to do it anyway. even if you cant. pretend you do or say thanks and move on. but it gets annoying hearinf the same stuff #over and over. more expectations on you. more pressure to do things in ways everyone else can but you cannot...#when will the advice be lee shaped? when will it be just for lee and consider all my circumstances?#why is telling the person giving advice their advice wont work fkr me bad? why cant they change their advice to fit the issues i face?#when im asked for advice and someone hits a deadend while working it out i try to help solve that so they can find a way around #but everyone else expects me to grow a bulldozer out of my head and ram the wall down instead of helping me work around it #i crush their fragile ego by saying their advice doesnt work and they get upset instead of adjusting it to help solve the specific problem #its exhausting because they become one of the many problems i have to deal with then 😒#no im not “making excuses/dismissing you/not trying” im trying. your advice sucks try again. and my problems are valid!!!!!! accept it!!!!#anyway. genuinely appreciate people wanting/trying to help but sometimes its such inappropriate advice i dont know how to respond

dead end - raspberry chocolate truffle

drag strip - banana split sundae

breakdown - blueberry pie

wildrider - root beer float with a maraschino cherry on top

motormaster - a wild blackberry bush. not the berries, the whole bush

Hold up. Is this what they would look like as a dessert (pretty accurate), what they would taste like as a dessert (i see how you got to some of these but disagree on a few fronts), what dessert they most want to be (question with a lot of moving parts) or what dessert you personally associate with them? Like what does this mean. Give me your sorting criteria before I respond lol

#red replies #alcorian #genuinely not sure how to respond to this because i dont know what you're saying and there's every chance i'lll respond to the wrong #sorting criteria LOL

please take as much time as you need to rest and recover. burn out is so hard and takes so much to heal from. your art and your supporters will still be here when you get back :) take care <3

Thank you very much

Unfortunately, my situation doesn't really allow me to take the time I need. I've got a ~two month hiatus scheduled for my midseason, but much like my first hiatus I'll most likely be working double time during it...

It's unfortunate because I could really really use a bigger break!

Having the time and flexibility to work on other projects really fires me up and keeps me going, and being able to take a guilt free day off for family and friends is necessary to my mental health, and I've been having to turn people down lately...

This is a very kind message, and I'm sorry to vent in response! But I just feel transparency about the pressure I'm under is necessary and important. I'd love to take the time I really need, but due to deadlines and that pesky "needing money to live" I can't.

But, once the series is over I intend to take a pretty big break before I start whatever I'm doing next! I've got so many short stories and projects planned that I want so badly to get to, I can't wait to really get to truly dive in to them!

#im so sorry to take a nice message and respond like this! but just... trust me haha i know my supporters are genuinely here for me <3 #but webtoon... not so much unfortunately. i mean im sure i could take a longer break but theres the looming anxiety #that ill get in trouble or itll ruin my chances of working with them again etc etc #i took this week and i genuinely took it off. sort of? i flew to a convention which was exhausting #and i did paintings that i hope to print eventually #and i. started planning and prepping for a Kickstarter. for time and time again...#so ive still been working the whole time. but i love working!#i just... like to be able to work on things OTHER than time and time again...#and unfortunately for a few months. more than a few months. i haven't been able to do anything outside of it.#even all of my paintings have been for it cause i cant afford to switch my mindset!#my first hiatus i moved. worked on a pitch for my next series. and then i made two episodes a week the entire time #and i still ran out of episodes...#i dont know if im just not fast enough or if something is wrong with my brain that i have to fight to get it to focus but.#yeah i mean ive been burned out! been really burned out for like a year now #i can tell by how much better i feel after literally 1 week of doing anything else #and how tired i feel explaining this and knowing ive got another 3 months before i get another break #ok sorry i vented a lot more in the tags. it's hard to explain all of this eloquently and i like my posts to be somewhat professional #asks #anon #vent #delete later #and also how often my brain keeps wanting me to like. beg for 'nice words' from other people #(i always stop myself from asking people for compliments and stuff because otherwise i get very carried away and do it too regularly)#(people are very nice to me all the time. the kindness is endless and i need to let myself recognize and appreciate it rather than seek more #(its sort of a mental health thing I've been trying to like... force myself to do)#(for myself and my longevity but also for others sake lol. ive been bad about it in the past)

during my first visit to england when me and my partner were both pre t, we tried to go to a public toilet that had a pay gate of like 40p or something. i, being a fresh aussie tourist, fumbled with my change trying to work out what the coins were, and i got stuck at the gate and looked obviously flustered.

this older man was leaving the toilets at that same moment, so he pushed the exit button for us and prompted us to run through the now open gate.

we thanked him for his help, to which he replied in his heavy northern accent, "no worries. by the way, what are you both doing in here? this is the men's room"

my baby trans arse had no idea how to respond, but my partner, in such a dead pan tone, promptly replied with "we ARE the men"

and the guy just shrugged and said "oh alright" and walked away

i still think back to this fondly and while i havent been in a situation like that since, it's absolutely a response i'm going to use if questioned again lmao

#life of doge #ok to reblog #i tell this story a lot because idk its just so funny #and kinda sweet?#just goes to show that the average person kinda doesnt give a shit #like yeah he wouldve been confused #but he sounded genuinely confused/curious #also my partner was apparently really flustered also and didnt know how to respond #and just blurted out the first thing he thought iirc #dont recommend this to everyone of course #but if someone sounds genuinely curious and not hostile #its a good fucken answer to give #assert your gender

I opened up about my body image issues and people called me a horrible person, told me I'm invalidating people with eds and that I'm body shaming people? God what the fuck? Ive got no fucking support system in real life and the Internet just hates me I guess.

#every waking moment of my life for three years was spent making sure other people had a person to vent to #but i can't vent to anyone #well ive got one person who wont even read my fucking text messages so i could say anything but i need someone to know #i need someone to say ill be okay. i need someone to be the person i was.#and nobody does that for me #ive got one person who cant even answer a ask on tumblr. honestly fuck you. i hope youre reading this. i spent so many nights awake making #sure you felt seen and you were okay. i gave up so much of my time to always be there for you. but you cant even respond “haha” to a stupid #joke? i get social interaction is hard. i get it. but this isnt. all you have to fucking do is open an ask. skim it for an idea of the vibe #and type haha or aw im sorry or smthing. its so easy. you know i have crippling anxiety. shit like this brings back trauma. it sends me into #a really bad panic attack. you suck. i hate to say that. cause you dont. you are genuinely a good person but you hate yourself so much that #youre actually trying to be a bad person #nothing you ever do will make me hate you but i sure am mad. me and A spent a few hours talking about how much we were worried about you #he doesn't have tumblr. when he found out you havent been messaging me he thought you killed yourself. for him its complete radio silence #just say something. like one of my posts. you dont have to do much. just do the bare minimum so i know you dont hate me.#cause if you dont hate me right now you really suck. really do. and if you do hate me please communicate that with me so i can fix myself

Google how to make friends as an adult when you are weird and everyone can smell it on you that you are weird and you do not know how to be not weird lol

#personal #im not Weird weird but im weird. i unsettle people i think #fun fact: i dont ever talk first to coworkers because i assume if someone wanted to speak to me they would speak to me and so itd be rude-#-for me to speak to them first because who am i to assume they want to talk to me. turns out! that just makes you look rude and standoffish #who knew. not me #this probably contributes to my weirdness. but Ive found myself observing social interactions between people at my second job #and there are things I just simply do not understand. there are times when it is socially acceptable to invite yourself into an ongoing--#--conversation. and there are times when it is wholly inappropriate. i do not understand the difference and so i dont do it #there are times when it is appropriate to respond with an anecdote of a similar situation. there are times when it is inappropriate.#again. i do not understand the difference. so i just sit there like 😐 my whole shift #which again. makes me look weird #this turned into a rant haha i genuinely dont know how to fix it though #I used to be very good at making friends. this has changed as an adult. I don't know how to do it anymore and i am lonely #if anyone reads this far though i would genuinely accept advice or feedback i feel quite hopeless at this

I'm not going to respond to any more people on that post, or at least not today, because I just had grief therapy and my babycat is at the vet and I am. So tired. So if you are refreshing my blog waiting for me to answer your anon or comment just know I am far too eepy at the moment

#also iiii do not like somebody telling me about how she got called a cumrag by other trans women in response to my post. i am not #responsible for that 😭 i mean it does genuinely suck and im sorry but also i dont know what you want me to say. respond to the ideas #i actually said in the post
