Hey :)
Why are you deleting it?
I'm afraid
Afraid of what?
The stage - the fear. My life is rejections at this point and everything else is falling apart at the seams. Putting myself out in any way is...... not ideal to me.
I can understand that.
Me helped it to make different usernames and playing roles to try out different things. Then the reaction was against that role and not myself.
It also gave me time to come up with good reactions to reactions. And everything that worked, I adapted for my "real" self. Like social interactions with training-wheels.
Learning to not let it get to you or even see some humor in it was one of the greatest feelings in my life and I wish you the same feeling.
I hope that shit gets better for you.
