You know... It's a lot easier to have fun on the internet when you absolutely refuse to take like anything as an insult. They can call me a masochist, and I'll laugh right alongside them! I might even make jokes about it myself! In fact, I'm in a discord server right now, where the current running joke is to post a "Silence, furry" image with a picture of my fursona being blown up by eye lasers (Image attached below). It honestly might be the funniest thing I've ever seen! Granted, I supplied the pic of my fursona and I was totally on board with it from the get-go, but still! Even stuff that's seemingly malicious can be laughed at, if you let go of your ego whenever you go on the internet. Laugh with them, even at your own expense. It's more fun that way.

Real quick, I need to put this shit out there. Feel free to ignore this post but I sorta want advice on what I should do? It's just a romantic self shipping problem though so probably shouldn't be read too much into lmaooo

Alright. I always get nervous and guilty if I have the same f/o as someone. Like, I'm a super insecure person and whenever I see someone else being like " Yo, This character is my f/o " which is not bad!!! Everyone deserves to feel loved and validated! But I always grow insecure and nervous, I have been since I was young and I hate it. But with self shipping, It just makes me think like " Oh. They'd clearly be a better partner/pairing than me. Why the hell would f/o like me?? I'm not even their type and that person clearly loves them alot! Am I taking them away from that person?? Shit. Ah Well, They'd like them more than me anyways. " which is also how I feel when I see canon pairings, but it just gets worse and worse as I think about it more. Like the other person deserves it more than I do. I've actually ignoring my feelings for a few f/o's because of it in fear I'll upset someone for liking a character and engaging in self shipping tomfoolery. I hate it and really want some advice. I want to enjoy characters but with the risk of upsetting others always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Also none of you are allowed to feel that way, Only me. Your all wonderful, valid and fucking fantastic people and omg,,, Look at that. Just got confirmed that its always been canon: Your f/o's cherish you!!!! If you don't agree I'll show up with your f/o's at 3am and they'll smooch you while I take photos for later reference
