i've been slowly coming out of my shell about being goblim/ratcore if that makes sense and people usually respond with "wha" or "lol ok" if I tell them and most people are confused, is there anyway I could maybe better explaim to them? (I actually found out some of my friends were crowcore tho!! and helped my friend realized they were goblim)
hmmmm to be honest it depends on why/what you want people to know! none of the individual parts of goblincore and communities like it are confusing or embarrassing in any way. a lot of people like to collect things, enjoy nature, and believe in accepting people unconditionally. the fact that there’s a name for it and a community based around it is what’s harder or weirder for some people to understand.
recently i told my therapist about this community and how i was using it in my recovery, and i started by explaining the body positivity and blanket acceptance part of it. so i guess what i’m saying is- usually what works for me when i talk to people about it is to start small with the individual parts and work my way up!
