having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!
there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.
#and before one of u is like '' i have no friends :(" i used to be there too actually#abusive partner cut me off from ALL of 'em. i didn't think i was lovable#it made me EXCEPTIONALLY shy. i still am actually!!!!#i just ... started saying ''yes.''#i would take pictures of flyers in my library and go to whatever events they had#i started taking community classes#if someone mentioned like ''i am gonna start x group'' i actually took a deep breath#and approached them to be like . okay i want in.#i started making the first move with new people - a small compliment#a smile or a little joke. just to share the space with them.#i have MASSIVE social anxiety. bad parent and bad relationship will do that to ya.#but i just... kept going. and going. and going. to each of these little things. and then...#like. .... idk i just am very blessed. i have a STUPID number of friends#a lot of which i reconnected with. bc it turns out love is never wasted. adult life just.#like. gets in the way. but also... i loved u as a weird little kid. i love u now as a weird big adult.#i promise i PROMISE ur friends are out there. u just have 2 find them. and btw#i didn't make friends with everyone. but i did get a lot of people to smile or laugh.#aint that something.#this process took me something like 2 years. it was HARD!!!!!!!!!!#i love u!!! hard things are often worth it!!!

and I think child modelling should be illegal I'm not even joking
#I dodged it but like it truly felt like we were pigs raised to slaughter. slaughter being prostitution#every little detail I remember now as adult with basic child psychology education from my teacher background is just. how#I'm not brave enough to say 'jail to mother' (yet) but honestly...#what wrong could come from making a bunch of girls used to lying about their age ignoring being made uncomfortable and disrespected#especially by adults who can make all sorts of rules and claims on their bodies and schedules that are treated as secrets#I had the best experience possible and I am certain I did get pimps approaching me my mother and contractors#and even then I felt very weird that I was often sent to nightclubs that only allowed adults as clients but since I was there to get on#stage as work then I could get in and actually I got instructed to keep on 'vip areas' that typically had a lot more drugs circulating#the heels the clothing and makeup I got put on were also so wrong#I didn't hate it at the time some things made me uncomfortable but I liked dancing I liked fashion and I liked how the fact I was 'making#money' made me more respected in my house and I started getting more independence (that I probably shouldn't have been given either)#but ugh the existing photographs already make me want to throw up and I am glad there aren't photographs of the worse 'dance' jobs I did#very strange little universe#I also feel like I was the only girl that didn't have an eating disorder but mostly cuz I already had problems with alcohol that did the jo#but also I got in much older than the other girls and out pretty fast#crazy that 13 is old but like you genuinely hear of 6 year old who are responsible for a considerable portion of the household income#YIKES#the compliments I got on managing to look older and 'being so mature'. yikes#anything that allows a child to be the one making most of the family's income is a receipt for disaster#.txt

#“would you still love me-”“who said i loved you”#“we literally just had an indepth conversation about how i would take your cat if you died and the plan was that was gonna fake being#your secret gay lover to your mother because she already thinks we've been fucking for the past 8 years#and wouldnt bat an eye if i said that and we had this whole bit where youd buy me A RING-“#do i also have to mention you just stuck your hand in my pants because you think the rips in them are egregiously big and think they#shouldnt be considered pants just to prove a point and yet you cant believe that people think it looks good#even as a drunk guy got a little touchy and complimented said “pants” in front of you#but tbf i did wear them because i knew itd elicit a reaction because last time you did the same exact thing#except it was in front of the person you were dating at the time who was sandwiched between us in a shitty sportsbar booth#which you know was something alright.#you know what i have to shut up#guys never get a codepent homoerotic friendship from highschool because you heal from the codependency as adults#but the homoeroticism and all the baggage it carries still chugs along#whats it like not having a guy being really excited to show you how they wooed their partner which was this spinny pin maneuver#by demonstrating it on you WHILE SAID PARTNER WATCHED and being very adamant that you can imagine it you dont need to actually show it on-#but he REALLY wants to do it and you could never really say no to him and you have to suck up your pride and get fucking pinned to a wall#at his parents place BECAUSE ITS HIS MOTHERS BIRTHDAY BECAUSE THIS WAS THE PARTY HE WANTED TO SHOW OFF HIS PARTNER TO HIS FOLKS#you know what i have to actually shut up like actually

#jane journals#self insert talk#platonic f/o#familial f/o#⚾️ strike out siblings ⚾️#<- a litfle smth im trying out. idk bonk brother never seemed satisfactory to me#so here we go!!#aaaahh i can feel a tf2 mini fixation coming on.#its weird that its so close to my rex anniversary tho like#im working on balance 😂😂 the queue helps tbh!! i post a wider variety of things#even tho i do curate it a little#ANYWAY!!!#IDK WHERE THIS LOVE CAME FROM!!!#i wanna draw us as kids and hanging out as adults and stuff#and i thought itd be kinda funny if i drew a little comic where miss pauling meets my s/i for the first time#like. scout is like 'hey wanna meet my sister?' and pauling is envisioning femscout and already rolling her eyes#but she sees junie instead who immediately compliments her and is all bubbly and sweet and paulings lesbian ass is all 😳💖💖💖💖#even just cause shes not around sweet genuine compliments from girls very often 👉👈#i may have a crush on miss pauling#damn scout sorry i stole ur girl 🤭🤭🤭#ougghh fuck i actually wanna think more about that

God, I will never not enjoy how surprised nearly all my younger students get when they find out how much I know about video games. Like... but you're my teacher... and you're nearly 30... and you're a woman... how can this be??? 🤯
#my favorite thing is when they start trying to convince me to play their favorite games and report back to them about what i thought of them#it's so cute#plus honestly they already normally get so shocked when they see my gaming laptop... then they find out i actually use it hahaha#i am proud of the fact that i've been told i type fast by 12 year olds... that is a real compliment... they type SO fast themselves#god... on another note one little girl once saw my laptop stickers and asked me what year i graduated from miskatonic university#and then i told her it's a fictional school and she said “oh so you didn't go to the college of winterhold either?” 😂#once one kid asked me if i have a husband and kids and when i said no to both of those she goes “oh i guess you're alone” 😂😂#and then i told her i live with my two best friends and we mostly play video games and board games and tabletop rpgs all day#and then she said she wants to do that too lol#i told her she should do whatever she thinks will make her happy ofc#it is just amusing when kids meet an adult who doesn't act the way they expect... but honestly they adapt to new info so fast#i mean ofc they do they are designed to learn basically everything is new to them#they are funny because they get so shocked and then instantly recover

There is no fucking way you had strangers coming up to you more than once a week in public to compliment your face(? lol), zero chance, why the fuck are you lying on a tumblr poll.
the fan behavior…. people are nice to pretty teenage girls, idk what to tell you
#violent reminder there are losers on tumblr and not just innocuous nerds#also. looking through the NOTES to pick a fight is crazy#anyway. didn’t know how to process this outside of responding. literally never happened before#let’s do some sleuthing! guessing anon is either 15 or 35#and prob a boy#at first was really thinking it was a woman but women know that girls compliment each other’s looks all the time#ie “you’re so pretty!”#and then either below or well above college age#bc ppl in college go out & meet a high volume of new ppl pretty often & thus are used to talking to strangers in party/positive environment#despite the petulance it carries with it the bitterness of age#very much giving harry potter adult#with all that in mind…. 35+ y/o man who transplanted from Reddit final answer

ykno i think that only ever being told im physically appealing by drs saying i could be prettier if i did this or that or lost weight or by my mom trying to emphasize how im a pretty GIRL to invalidate my desire to be more masculine most of my life probably affected my ability to feel good about my body
#like genuinely i have not been complimented on my looks for a majority of my life by peers#like ive had friends recently like say im slaying or looking good but like in the face kf yhings it doesnt like do anything i guess like#its what friends do#i had a person j used to be friends comlliment me once about me looking hot and sexy and i started feeling nauseus so i dont know what thats#all about so its like would i even want people tk ckmpliment on looking good? do j need that? how does it work why would i need it#when i dont really desire the types of relationships where being attractive matters#if im in my ideal state of mind i dont even register my body its seperate from me and im just my thoughts so i dktn have to think about#my ohysicality but when i have to register myself i just feel ugly but even more it all just feels wrong to have a body at all and thats#prob where the transness comes in tbh#like i dunno is it better for me to have avoided being told over and over that im worthy becuz im attractice as a woman or is that a symptom#kf me just being ugly that nobody ever commented on my body aside from adults daying how cute and ptetty i am and then my mom telling them#that im actually really smart to help me value my mind over my body becuz she grew up being ugly while also thinking shes stupid#like#like all of this to result in me being ugly no matter what way i cut it and i cant even bring myself to care much about it most of them time#even tho it feels mishapen in my mind as a feeling#its like bad and i look at myself in the mirror and i feel bad i look bad my face is wrong and its like the strongest feeling i feel some#days for those brief seconds i see myself and then j look away and it goes away and im back to having normal bland brain waves#its kinda fucked

#tbf their mom has been much more businesslike abt it. probably bc it's her actual job#their dad has the most braindead take on it and immediately made it abt himself though lmfao#like...... no dude the fact that i wanna be more active and feel better and get stronger isn't an invitation#to go on a 30min long tirade on how you got fat directly & precisely bc you were depressed and directionless#& then made a bet w your ex that you'd look exactly like Will Smith In I Am Legend (???) in 6mo like#and have lived in a cycle of restriction vs excess and weight cycling and etc since#and have also used this experience as an excuse to assume shit abt people based on how they look#..........and I'm not even Fat-fat. i didn't grow up w the stigma and there's a strong likelihood#that the minute my lifestyle stops being absolutely completely sedentary im gonna drop a few kg and be done with it#i can't imagine dealing with this nonsense while trying to have a childhood#people can be so fucking gross abt others' bodies literally just shut up#ALSO!!! i'd much rather be in this situation than the shit i was living thru as a thin kid#whomst literally didn't get fed enough!!!!!#literally only grandmas would raise their eyebrows and try and get some food in there ( which isn't perfectly unproblematique but it comes-#from the impulse to NOURISH and they're so real for that goddamnit)#every other adult complimented me on my ability to overeat garbage at events and stay thin#like.......#have you considered i was actually literally being neglected and overate when there was available unrestricted food bc of that trauma? lol#lmao

my niche savant skill is apparently being able to carve extremely realistic teeth and mouths out of clay without thinking... not sure what to do with this info might sell a few sculptures
#i was chatting with my also autistic best friend about how both of our parents were like oh That Kid's Just Smart about us as kids#(tho he was actually diagnosed as a toddler and his parents didnt tell him as an adult can u believe it)#but how neither of us are the savant stereotype#well reflecting on the conversations i had while carving this jaw yesterday is making me question thar#and btw the comments were really funny bc i had been sitting with the piece facing me and i was at the far end of the room#and when i finally turned the piece around to texture the back i saw that itjust looked like a potato from theback#and everyone was like o.OOO#i am humble to the point of self dirisiveness about my art to others even tho i do personally think my art is stunning so#it felt nice to be validated by my peers#since they get it more than a layman and i trust it when they stop me to compliment me

Either that guy who harassed me in hs genuinely liked me and was being a freak or as the one girl said he just did that to be a douche and was trying to make a joke that hey he’s hitting on the quiet girl
#I know I’m not ugly from a conventional societal stand point#ever since I was a kid I’d get compliments from adults fatema for some reason was always so jealous and bitter abt my looks#but she would always compliment me#in truth I do not know what the hype is about and I definitely do not see it#myself#but like stuff like this makes me feel stupid cause if you’re gonna be a freak at least like me and do it#don’t do it to make fun of me#I’m literally that TikTok trend of that manga panel#where the guy asks a girl out and then she was like we’re you dared to do that ?#it’s so mean#the boys in my class for ma to would mock me once when I was saying my name#for math *#I was literally just a quiet math nerd what did they ever want from me#like it’s so mean genuinely#dora daily#literally don’t belong anywhere ☠️

i’m limping bc i kicked my moms door yesterday which yippie yappo gonna pretend im spider man and got injured on idk patrol or some shit not that kicked my moms door bc i was angry that she got legitimately upset wit me for needing to use the restroom and couldn’t wait till i was done to do her hair dye stuff but my coworker noticed and now i gotta kill myself
#personal#i told her about it and she was like justified#i do feel childish for kicking her door#it was childish and stupid i was just so upset yesterday#i slammed my door and knocked my own stuff around which great so mature and such a good perso#by knock around i mean my spider man lego fell and i tossed my phone so hard at my pillow my phone charm broke off#easy fixes both of them and only left a scuff on my moms door#i just fucking hate that she called it a lecture when i was saying i need the bathroom#i just hate it so much i can’t talk to her at all#like anything i bring to her attention is a lecture#doesn’t matter if i said one word doesn’t matter if im actively trying to see it from her POV#i’m giving her a lecture and don’t understand i’m the child and she’s the adult#i’m just a stupid child#and even if it isn’t any time i talk to her she doesn’t even look at me#try telling her about my day and she’s watching the shopping channel and i have to repeat myself several times#she’s said she doesn’t think conversations with me are intelligent and she doesn’t think i’m funny and no one likes me#but then she’s always coming to my room and grabbing me to talk about her stuff if i’m not actively trying to talk to her#i get ranked number one at the office out of 19 people f#with a 3 month data analysis and she can’t even bother to talk about it longer than a minute#just about how people complimented her dress and she needs this shawl in a different color#and i know i need to move out but everything seems impossible and i just want to sob#my body hurts so much i still have a head ache from yesterday im cold and my work#is making us track how many pages per task we’re printing alongside everything else we have to track#i wish i had my noise canceling headphones.#it’s just a bad day continuation from yesterday it’s fine i’m just upset and in pain#anyway am i leaning hard core in spacing out to cope with my issues and work through my feelings#and it’s little pathetic but i’m dealing with my mom treating me using the rest room like i’m going specifically against her#AGAIN. repeat performance when i was a kid and using the rest room when she got home from work was reason enough to cuss me out#weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerr
