Dear everyone, forever,

If you care at all about people who have anxiety, autism, OCD, CPTSD, or any other number of "ruminating," "nervous," and "catastrophizing" conditions or dispositions, you need to abandon this phrase and others like it IMMEDIATELY:

"I need to talk, give me a call."

The PROBLEM isn't the request, it's ambiguity and unnecessary room to worry. Here's a little help, for the confused and ambiguous communicating types:

❌ "We need to talk."

✅ "Can we talk? I've been thinking about what you shared last night and I'd like to tell you more about my perspective."

❌ "Have you looked at your email yet?"

✅ "Did you see the email about the flight change? We'll need to update our plans."

❌ "Please come see me sometime today."

✅ "Do you have time to swing by my office and to go over the report? I have some feedback before it gets sent out."

❌ "Give me a call when you have a sec."

✅ "Can you call me so we can talk about when to meet to plan the presentation?"

❌ "When can we talk?"

✅ "When can we catch up? I miss you!"

GUESS WHAT???? Being kind not cryptic does mean saying/typing/sending MORE words vs. less. And that's fine--just say/type/send them. Your choice to take 2 minutes instead of 15 seconds will be a HUGE weight of mental load off your anxious receiver. You may save them hours or days of ruminating/worrying/obsessing.

This is especially important if you have power over them, aka, you are a boss/teacher/parent. Especially because some of these same folks won't feel comfortable saying back to you, "about what?" they'll just go on worrying until you say more. Even if they know they shouldn't. Even if they try their best to "assume positive intent." Even if they take anti anxiety or other mental health meds to help.

INTERESTINGLY, I have also heard people who say they cannot stand it when someone does this to them DO IT TO OTHERS because they forget that it sounds cryptic as fuck and they only remember their own firsthand experience. You may know that when you texted "When can we talk?" you are happily reaching out to chit chat, but they might hear it as "something's wrong in our relationship and it's so bad I'm not going to say it until we talk" and then they are wracking their brains to figure out "what they did wrong" when the answer is literally fucking nothing.

Clarity is kindness.

Taking 2 minutes and using a few more words can truly make all the difference to someone else.

the ai chatbot ads have moved on from fictional characters and are now straight up saying You Should Replace Your Friends With This App Because It Replies Fast

what the fuck .

to anyone who might need to hear this, I would rather wait for weeks/months/years to hear from you or even literally be ghosted forever that do whatever that is and that's the Correct Response in this scenario. you do not owe anyone fast replies you do not owe anyone replies Ever.

additionally. it sucks to not hear back from someone you wanted to talk to. it can be annoying to have to wait for a reply. but talking to people isn't a commodity, it's not content, it's not a product, and sometimes it doesn't happen or it happens differently from the way you wanted it to. and that's ok. you can try again with the same person, and if they straight up tell you they don't want to talk or you decide you don't vibe with it actually, you can try again with someone else. and the good thing is you get literally as many tries as you want because oh my god there are so many people on the internet.

“Awww does puppy want a treat?”

Puppy wants to be loved without masking a part of himself. Puppy wants to be physically affirmed. Puppy wants a fucking break.

But a treat would be nice :3 !

GOJO IS DEAD AND I WAS TRAUMATIZED.

It's a practice I made a while ago from a picture in Pinterest, I would attach the link for the picture but it's lost in time. I spent quite a qhile in this sketch (I think) before it got a good shape, I am proud of the hands tho, they look so cool.

OC rough idea, he is supposed to be a nerdy guy, like, nerdy top 10 students un the school type of nerdy. I do have an OC that is inspired in this rough sketch, it will be in my profile soon. If you are reading this hours or days after posting this drawing, the oc is in my bio (probably, go find out).

A rough idea of a possible OC, she is supposed to be warm and gentle. Even if it was a quick sketch of 10 min in a post it, I hope it gives the vibes that I want. If I start to dvelop her, she would be such softie and gentle figure.

A spontaneous sketch made during my free time. I was trying to have little sketches of OC's to give more personality to my art. I was aiming for a chilled back serious dude, introverted type. I think he looks too friendly for that tho, what do you think?
