approved by the roommate. actual mike body type respresentation.

:D

STOP!!! being in other countries. I wanna! Hang out >:(

I agree with the prev anon. you have some really nice features. you have good cheekbones and jawline, your eyes are really pretty, and you've posted some really nice selfies with really lovely outfits. i can't think of a non-weird way to word this but your body type actually looks really nice i think, especially in some of the dresses you were showing off a while back.

thanks.

also, if you know what my body type is, feel free to let me know.

i think i look like venus in "venus in urbino" by titian (not in the face).

🫂🫂

thanks, planky.

have i ever told you i appreciate you a lot?

i want to cut my hair short but my hair frames my face nicely...

i get that it’s hard not to focus and obsess on parts of your appearance that you think are flawed, trust me i do it too, and i’m not sure what else to say except that i don’t think you’re ugly. and i’d wager there’s way fewer people who think that about you than you’ve convinced yourself. and before you try and say “everything about me is flawed” you’re wrong. you have really pretty eyes, you have the same face shape as one of my friends and their cheekbones really highlight their smile (not saying you need to smile more of course! i just couldn’t think of a better non-creepy way to say that i think you have nice cheekbones that remind me of a friend lol), idk if you still have the two tone hair, but it looks/looked so good on you, and i know this isn’t in the same category, but there’s been a couple of selfies you’ve posted where i’m like “wow that outfit looks great!”

i hear that about my eyes from time to time. i have dark lashes if you get close.

i still have the split dye, yes. it's going away because i don't like that the parting isn't even. i miss my fully brown hair anyway.

no, don't worry, that means more. i appreciate when people like the effort i put in my outfits.

i'm a little prouder of my jawline now that i can see it. my roommate told me it was nice the other day and i joked that it was a recent development. heh.

thank you.

imagining helping dude makes me feel better sometimes...

i have so much love for dude and his flaws and it's very silly to ever think he wouldn't feel the same about me

in bittersweet news, my roommate gave me a hug yesterday. my first in 5 years.

You're valid if you're jealous of other people who can have normal friendships and relationships when you feel like your trauma stops you from being able to connect like that.

i can't tell when others don't love themselves. does it have a smell? like fear?

0/10 would recommend being autistic in school in the 2000s

ok but other people can TELL when you don't love yourself especially if you're being outwardly self-deprecating. self-deprecation does get hard to be around after a while. that saying of like 'you can't love anyone until you love yourself' isn't really saying 'you NEED to love yourself in order to be loved', it's saying 'confidence and acceptance in yourself makes you more attractive to others'.

so if you want to make and keep friends more easily then getting more comfortable in yourself will help that. personality plays so much more of a role than physical attractiveness (tho you are a good-looking person even if you don't believe it), so if you can built any sort of confidence in yourself then you'll start to find those connections in ppl around you too

source: was a painfully awkward and dysphoric teenager in middle and high school, had no friends, then gained confidence in college and suddenly making friends started getting a lot easier. and like... i didn't change anything abt my physical appearance (if anything I got LESS conventionally attractive bc I learned to stop caring what other people think), just learned to carry myself with a little more confidence. i promise it does make a difference and i promise breaking out of that self-deprecating spiral WILL help you in other ways too

i get what you're saying.

but it was because i'm weird and autistic. that's why i didn't make friends as a kid. my self hate didn't start until at least 16. before that i was the weird autistic kid. if you've been the weird autistic kid or the weird fat kid, or both (like i was), you know how that is. nobody knew me well enough in high school to know anything. i didn't talk to people well.

and now the reason is mainly that people on this campus don't go to events. they just don't. also, i'm weird and autistic about dean martin (which my roommate enjoys actually lmao). this is a .... i don't know. you all enjoy it. my english professor was surely amused. i still struggle with talking to people.

i'm TERRIBLE at masking. this is a hit with the weirdos (some of them). a miss with the ""normal"" people.

people do seem to think i'm the smartest among them for the most part. (no, seriously. it's weird.)

i wish i was better at self shipping. i'm sorry everyone.

i'm a very simple person, with very simple wants, and i can't have them

i just wanna be held...for hours
