i’m not even a person, i’m just a bunch of traumas stacked on top of each other in a trench coat made of fandoms.
personality ? me ? no no, that’s just season 4 of community. common mistake though !
#cptsd culture is#cptsd#bpd#borderline personality disorder#i am just a-okay fine-a-doodle-do#I am not well-adjusted. and more often than not I am barely keeping it together. I’m constantly texting and there’s no one on the other end#I’m just a grown man who can’t even look his own friends in the eye for too long because I’m too afraid they’ll see that I am broken.#one time when I was in seventh grade I told everyone I had appendicitis. I wanted someone to worry about me. but when Beth Brannon asked to#see the scar I didn’t wanna get found out. so I took mom’s scissors and I made one. it hurt like hell but it was worth it because I got#seventeen cards. and I still keep them in a box underneath my bed 22 years later because it proves that someone at some point cared about me#I also have a collection of cards like that#them: why do you like things so much god the materialism#me: I got myself that Gengar plushie for my birthday#my sibling and I went to a sketch thinkgeek store in a sketch mall in a sketch area bc I had a coupon#it was super uncomfortable but I found my guy#then we got Dunkin and I surprised my dad at work with a bagel#then Robin and I hung out at their place and it was a really lovely day#that’s why.

hey people who like Community, please validate my feelings of catharsis during the Thanksgiving episode (4.5) because I knew there was going to be some moment where Jeff's miserable childhood ripped my heart out but i was not prepared for him storming out of the meeting with his father, only to turn around when he sees his half brother wanting to run away because "if you leave now, he won't know what he's done wrong" and that's the threshold, isn't it? that's the instant where Jeff has been changed enough by having actual friends and he grasps why they keep telling him not to bottle up his emotions. but that scene where he lays it all out, tells that story of lying about having appendicitis and carving that scar into himself just to make it real enough that people would care about him?? "i got seventeen cards and i still keep them in a box underneath my bed, 22 years later" fucking hell
