About Me and This Blog:

I’m Coraline, I'm in my early 20s, and I use they/them pronouns.

This is merely a sideblog where I can share my own experiences and thoughts without worrying about people that actually know me.

Therefore, vent posts are common, but I also try to post educational things here and there.

Nonetheless, most things I post are going to be negative, pessimistic or similarly upsetting. I trust you to know yourself best and only view and follow this blog if you’re going to take responsibility for how it might make you feel. Because it is not mine to handle; especially since I always try to tag everything accordingly and make sure that you can black list specific triggers, so you won’t have to be exposed to them here. That’s all I can do, though. You are responsible for your own experience on the internet.

A lot of my posts revolve around my Borderline PD, since that causes me most trouble that often makes me feel the need to vent and write about it in a safe place. I also post about my (contamination & general) OCD, Social Anxiety, Autism, C-PTSD, and Atopic Dermatitis.

I don’t mind spam likes and/or reblogs, so you’re more than welcome to do it without a single worry.

Tags:

Vent Posts will always be tagged with #vent post and #cora.talks (prev: #johnson.talks); so if you’d rather avoid such posts, you can black list those tags (any actual trigger and content warnings in them will be tagged accordingly as well).

If there are things you’d like me to tag and I haven’t, please let me know so I can go back and change it.

people think paranoia is tinfoil hats and conspiracy theories. but no. its an island. its being surrounded by loving people with genuine intentions and being so so so painfully lonely because you're TERRIFIED of the idea that everybody either secretly hates you or wants to hurt you. and you're convinced you deserve it anyways because you're the scum of the earth but you're still avoiding it because you're a coward who can't face the truth. it's begging people to just insult you or doxx you or hit you or whatever because you just wanna get it over with instead of sitting there anticipating 'the inevitable'. it's being attracted to people who abuse you because 'they're the only ones telling the truth'.

Dealing with mood swings is already hard enough on your own, it’s even harder when the people around you have no patience while you’re trying to cope with.

trying to explain that cluster b disorders don’t make anyone inherently ‘evil’ to people on the internet.

I am so tired of people saying 'Empathy' when what they mean is 'Sympathy' or 'Compassion'.

'Empathy' is not a synonym for 'Good person', someone can have all the empathy in the world and still be a dick or do terrible things. As someone who has extremely strong Empathy I honestly often think it makes me a bigger asshole just as often as it doesn't.

Empathy is just a word that explains how well you can put yourself directly in someone else's shoes or feel their feelings or similar, it says nothing about whether that's used to do good, assist others, or even care about other people.

I have a lot of empathy for people I wish I could nuke from orbit for example, being able to put myself in their shoes or understand their feelings does not make me hate them or want them gone any less. Because just because I have Empathy for them does not mean I have Sympathy or Compassion for them.

Likewise someone with low or no empathy may not be able to put themselves in your shoes or feel your feelings exactly, but that says nothing about their ability to feel Sympathy or Compassion and to act upon those feelings.

I really encourage people to try to replace 'Empathy' in their rhetoric with 'Sympathy' and or 'Compassion', not only is it less ableist towards people with Low/No empathy, but it's also a good reminder that Sympathy and Compassion, and most importantly Acting on those things, is more important than Empathy is at all.

dislike how many mental health posts on here are just "you've never done anything wrong in your life ever and they were evil for that"

[bitchautism-deactivated20250906]

maybe you did do something wrong. maybe you hurt someone. maybe you have said awful things. maybe you were just as bad as them. maybe. but what matters is that you move on. you have to try. you have to wake up and be kinder. you have to learn and listen and grow. maybe you did do something wrong but that doesn't mean you have to keep doing that. as long as you are alive, you can change

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me

tumblr: constantly be aware of your own privilege. constantly be aware of your capacity of be evil. hey i know you really like that new piece of media but make sure you're aware of all of the problematic elements all the time. hey i noticed you reblogged a post from a designated Bad Person so please make sure you do a thorough background check on everyone you reblog from to make sure they're not bad, otherwise people might get the wrong idea about you. always be aware of everything bad that's happening in the world all the time because silence is violence. i see you not reblogging this post btw. activist burnout is a privilege so be aware of that. xyz people are required to reblog this post. if you're not constantly fighting against designated Bad People you are inherently complicit and therefore a Bad Person.

i hate that BPD gives me such a lack of emotional permanence.

you can spend hours describing the ways in which you care about me, yet the moment you stop my brain will immediately decide you hate me and are destined to leave me.

Something really not talked about with trauma disorders is the paranoia.

Being scared and jumping to conclusions when people stand a little too close to you, not believing people’s compliments and thinking they have hidden motives, not believing when people tell you they like/love you, thinking that strangers you see on the street want to hurt you, etc.

shout out to everyone with a sleep disorder or condition that affects the quality and quantity of sleep. i think it's incredibly unfair to be denied even the comfort of rest
