btw todd’s reluctance to join the dps because he doesn’t want to read (which is then accommodated for) and is scared to put himself out there (which is also worked through) being read as todd not wanting to go AT ALL, and thus neil making the proper accommodations (“todd anderson, who prefers not to read, will keep the minutes of the meetings”) and encouraging him to step out of the box that stifles him being seen as ‘forceful’ or like he can’t take no for an answer makes me insane with rage

Ok so i was cockblocked from my character development by YouTube labeling the sonic x shadow generations teaser thing as for kids while I was finally stating my opinion on something in public. so I'm just gonna put my comment here, and instead of rewriting it for a different format or just posting the screenshots of my "conversation" with my friends here, I'll just copy and paste my insecure comment (its like the sparknotes of spark notes).

"It looks nice but i feel kirks voice doesn't properly portray shadows emotions which lessens much of the emotional impact for me, and I honestly don't think shadow would act the way he did here (specifically just the punching the ground part stuck out to me). I went long tirade just about shadow falling to the ground and punching it out of frustration in my friends group chat. I feel that shadow would have balled his fist to the point of pain, yes, but wouldn't punch the ground out of sadness or frustration. Shadow as he's portrayed in sa2 has me believing he's more the type to cry standing in place or do as dying pets do and hide away. I rewatched some of the cutscenes for shadow the hedgehog, sa2, sonic heros, and sonic 06 and I couldn't find an instance of shadow showing or venting his emotions in that way and even his losing animation in sa2 only has him looking down then up. He's prideful of his ability and really wishes to help so being unable to would seriously frustrate him but I feel they just got how he shows his feelings incorrect, punching is more a knuckles or hell even sonic thing.

It's kinda hard to rearticulate all the things I said to my friends, I have more to say I just don't know how to say it {:

All I was trying to say was shadow is an inherently emotional character that has a particular way of reacting to emotional stimuli that I feel they miss the mark on here and replaced with less character specific reactions. And I don't really like the vocal performance, but that's something I can deal with on my own in a multitude of ways."

i feel really regretful of my life but idk what to do or how to change anything

or i mean i know what i need to do but i feel like i cant or im too scared .. and lately ive been frustrated with myself bc ive been experiencing that "trapped inside my head" feeling really intensely where idk how to speak to articulate thoughts and it feels painful

i completely get the being too nervous/shocked to say hi to the drivers and things like that! i went to the toronto indy last weekend and i saw theo pourchaire THREE TIMES (and like very up-close too, he was literally walking past me) and was too shocked to say anything either of the times 😭 it's hard to explain but in the moment it's so difficult to go up to them!!

omg im so so glad im not the only one 😭😭 i cant help it, i just freeze!! like dino was walking right towards me yesterday and i just turned around? when i literally couldve spoken swedish with him????

truly you have to participate in the compliment economy. random compliments are so rare but it's not because you don't deserve them! our discomfort with engaging with other people makes it so that only some people take the initiative to give compliments in the first place, and that's really only if there's something standout about the person they're complimenting. it doesn't have to be that way. get comfortable with telling people that you like their clothes or their hair or that they have nice eyes or a good smile or a pretty laugh or that you admire the way they carry themself or like their music taste or just that you think they're nice or smart or cool. put a little delight out into the world! once you've done that, it opens up similar dialogues bit by bit... and as a secret special bonus, when you tell someone something nice, they're often very happy to have a chance to tell you something nice in return :)

[polaroidcats]

i'm actually going out for drinks tonight for the first time in ages but now it's been 4 hours since i sent a reminder/are-we-still-on-for-tonight? text into the groupchat and the only person who replied so far is the one who already said they'd be over an hour late because of work but i was the one who made the reservation so i feel like i need to be on time and the radio silence is doing wonders for my anxiety

[lago-morpha]

I want to let the social anxiety win and disappear sometimes. Some more than others
