in regards to your post about feeling distant- i truly understand part of it i think. i have never had solid friends growing up, so online spaces were my outlet for socialization. So while it was great I learned how to socialize a little in public spaces like tumblr, personal conversation doesn't come naturally to me. And even with public places like servers, I feel like I'm a bit out of place. It's definitely a scary feeling,but I can promise expressing these fears can be a first step. It means you're opening up for reassurance- not pity, but genuine help from those who care, to remind you youre loved.
I admire your abilities in art and your ships are fun, and you overall just radiate such a sweet personality. I know we're not like uber close, but if you ever need someone to chat with I'm around. I can also dm you first in those circumstances, ofc! But overall , I just wanted to show my support and say you're not alone. I hope you feel a little better soon, but remember that feeling this way isn't something to feel guilty about.
I appreciate you sending this Chris. And I agree that expressing these fears can be the first step. It’s just when one spent so long bottling up their emotions, it gets tricky and you end up feeling guilty and embarrassed when you finally express them. But I also appreciate you reaching out. I always enjoyed your stuff and admired how kind you are, so whenever you want to chat, I’m open for it. And thank you for the support and relating. It means a lot. ❤️
