hi so sorry to send a random ask, but as a kid with paras it means so much to see other people like me in communities i like (mainly scm)
It means so much that you aren't being treated like a freak for existing, and that (for some reason) makes me feel less like a freak
idk does that make sense??? sorry idk im. very happy
top 10 most lifechanging hope bringing asks #1 will shock you (/POS. DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR SENDING IN AN ASK BTW OOMF UR FINE!!)
im sosososo glad ! we've been there done that and have also had paraphilias for the longest (both disordered and with causes as well as nondisordered ones that are just there for the love of the game ig) and one of the reasons I've become more open with that and my identities and stuff as a whole is so that people know that they aren't alone. And that you can still enjoy things and feel happy and joyful and be in different fandoms and communities even with The Curse that is having socially ""off-putting and weird"" or even "gross" attractions.
Nobody should be seen as a freak and weirdo for something they cannot control. Nobody should be treated like an uncontrollable monster because of things they are into, intentionally or not. I know how validating it is to see people like that in my own spaces and even now it still makes me feel super happy. im really glad that I can somehow pass that feeling onto someone else <:-]
u are not alone !!!!!!! u are never alone !!!!!!!! there will always be people who will love and support you no matter how many people think you're strange . u MUST be kind to yourself because even if you have weird and freak and strange attractions that doesn't mean shit !!!! you are still a wonderful being worthy of living and I think there's some sort of beauty in that . do not let anyone tell you otherwise
