#self shipping question

[metamorphspectra]

Sooo a question for self-shippers

I haven't gotten into selfshipping community (I'm more of a reclusive person who prefers smaller circles of people and safe spaces), but I have something to ask:

has anyone imagined their f/o talking to them and encouraging them to have friends and partners irl as well?

As of late when I imagine talks with my f/s I end up thinking about myself/self insert crying and telling "I miss my real life friends" (I have been unemployed for months and tried to find a job without success and lack of money caused me to isolate myself because meeting friends involved payed transport and other stuff; recently I got a job, but the schedule is tight and again less chances to meet my friends) and my f/o would comfort me and try to tell me I'll meet my friends in the future still. Or if I get too scared of talking to friends the f/o is like "your friends still care for you"

I'm struggling with relations and talking in general and there's a lot to untangle, like mental health issues and traumas and such. I'm going to therapy, it's just I actually don't know how to take things slow.

And yeah... I just imagine my f/o being supportive and wanting me to be happy with my friends as well.

Like I imagine they don't want to steal me from my friends at all.

Maybe this has an obvious answer, but I am in a state of mind that I cannot perceive by myself obvious things, I just feel lost. And it's rough. @_@

Yo Self-shippers or self-inserters !!

I have a question for y’all!!

So it was brought up in the Shiftblr gc but if you are a self-shipper who doesn’t reality shift, do you reference your character as your s/o?

Like if I was a self-shipper but did not shift, would I say “Zoro is my significant other” ? Or do you have another term to refer to them? Or does it not matter?

I’m just genuinely curious cause if you don’t shift realities, you can’t like “actually” touch them, kiss them etc, but to me I think it’s still valid to call them your boyfriend/girlfriend whatever.

(I could also be totally wrong please help me lmaooo I’m just very interested!!!)

Thanks so much!

Note: if anyone in the replies/reblogs makes fun of self-shippers I’ll block you. ☺️ be nice!!

It’s boiling out, the heatwave has been relentless, and I’m curious! How does your f/o handle the heat? What about your s/i or oc?

Odlaw is canonically British, he is NOT coping well ahaha. I can envision him melting into a cartoonish yellow and black stripped puddle with his hat just sat in it. (Bee is mortified and so worried for him!!) She handles heat pretty well and definitely prefers it over the cold.
