#an obvious statement #but I forgot being flirted with feels good !

y'know, I like and am good at being alone but I'm currently in that <1% of the time where there's painful loneliness, and I think when it gets this way for me it's really much more about feeling unheard/unrelated to/unacknowledged in my attempts to share/connect with specific people/groups than a broad lack of there being people who would care

I’m most happy around people who like me.

So, after re-reading Thud, I'm reminded yet again that Sam Vimes' internal struggles center around the struggle to turn his depression into something useful that works for him, which is really awesome because he does exactly that. It's amazing watching him work to fix his seriously shitty coping behaviors, and develop the support network that he has, and find new strategies, and I love that depression isn't just depicted as malaise, but also that his emotions ramp up and down in chaotic ways that can be useful, but most of the time are destructive as hell, and that's all great, because it's really hard to find central characters with depression depicted like this. The Watching Dark couldn't have happened without all the books that precede it, without Carrot, Colon, Nobby, Cheery, Detritus, and Angua and NONE of this could have happened without Sybil. Basically Sybil is the best.
