so many of you self-sabotaging fucks out there craving for someone to really truly love you, just to go and push away the one person that actually wants to give you all that. that’s not protecting anyone, that’s just a shitty choice you’re making. so go get your person, before you’re too late. this is your sign.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I wish this could stop. I wish I could reach out. I wish I could take your hands. I wish I could talk and listen. I wish I could function. I hate this and I hate myself for doing this. I really hate myself for being like this. I want this to stop, I do, I really do. But I'm so sorry, I have believed that I am better off alone. I have learnt my whole life that my loneliness is my only friend. That being alone means nobody hurts me and I hurt nobody. It's not that I thought you would hurt me, it's just I have been scared of everyone and everything for a long time. I'm scared of being left alone and abandoned and I believe that it's better if I walk away first. And that makes me being the one leaving, so it will hurt less for me. I'm sorry for not reaching out. I'm sorry for pushing you away. I'm sorry. I really am.

Any advice on reconnecting/reconciling with friends you've pushed away and/or been distant from after being more ill for a period of time? Thanks :)
Hey there,
I can really relate to this as I seem to be so good at pushing others away and especially when I am doing badly and really struggling with life.
I guess the best thing you can do to reconnect with those you have pushed away or become distant to is to just send them a txt message or email (or contact them how ever you feel most comfortable doing so) and just explain to them that you have been struggling and part of you struggling is that you push others away, sometimes without even noticing doing it. You do not have to go into details about your struggles or why you may have lost contact for a period of time but apologise to them and let them know that you can’t promise it won’t happen again but that you will try to stay in contact the future and just ask them to be patient with you and perhaps even send you a message now and again if contact suddenly stops asking if you’re OK or that they hope that all is well.
I cannot promise that all your friends will reply or wish contact to resume but at the very least you would have tried and done all you could have done to reconciliate the friendship with them. The reason why I have pointed this out is because I have been in a similar situation to you and not all friends have replied to my wish to reconnect. And although this may hurt a lot you have to remind yourself that you cannot make others be in contact if they do not want to be. Like maybe they have moved on in their lives but this does not mean that they would have forgotten you and all the great times you guys have spent together.
I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do not hesitate to let us know if we can help to support you in any other way!
I’m thinking of you and hope that you are going well!
Take care,
Lauren

I can only say thank you for pushing me away and letting me go. It brought me to much better places and people. I’m actually really happy now.

The thing I keep coming back to, with all the *gestures expansively* is that real life doesn't have peaceful epilogues.
Every single win has to be defended. Forever. I'm sorry. It sucks. The Nazis lost until they stopped losing. The US had abortion rights, and then 50 years later it didn't. Empires fall, and then they invade other countries again. Oppressive regimes are overthrown and replaced with other oppressive regimes. You will never finish the work etc etc etc. Which is why it's so fucking important to be able to acknowledge and celebrate progress, when it happens. The people who came before you didn't put in all that work for nothing, and you aren't, either. You can't save it all for the Ultimate Victory because there is never going to be an Ultimate Victory. There's no such thing as a time when everything is good, and ours shall not be the commune of Heaven.

i want to beg people to never leave me, beg them to stay here with me no matter how fucked up i am. i want to show them my jealousy, my obsession, i want to scream and just go crazy when they don't give me enough attention. i want them to know that i need them so much. i need them to be here with me, for me. to love me, want me, to obsessed with me, to care about me, need me too. everything that makes me feel seen, wanted, loved, cared about, so i can feel good about myself. i want them to validate myself. it doesn't matter if they might only hurt me, if they just wanna use me, they just see me as a crazy stupid bitch. i don't care. i will do anything, i will be down on my knees, i will cry and beg, i will do any fucking thing just to make them stay, just to make them love me, just to make them see me.

Vampire Misunderstanding
So! Danny got adopted by Bruce Wayne, but he doesn't know that Bruce is the Batman. He is just supernaturally oblivious to all things Batman related going on in the House.
But he does notice that Bruce leaves home a lot at night, that he doesn't like to go out in the day and often has his parties at night, and once or twice he's caught Bruce with a bit if blood still splattered on his cheek.
So he comes to the only plausible conclusion. Bruce is a Vampire.
He starts trying to hint at the fact that he knows, but doesn't want to just go out and say it. What if Bruce reacts negatively to him knowing? He's dealt with enough Supernatural Beings to know that they don't like other people (and especially other supernatural beings) intruding on their lives.
So Danny decided to subtly hint at it.
He started asking questions like "So hypothetically, how would you deal with having a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?" Or "So if you had very sensitive skin that could sunburn extremely easily, how much cloud cover would you need to go outside?" And "So what's your opinion on a High-Iron Diet?"
Basically just tossing out questions and trying to Guage Bruce's reaction.
He thinks he's doing a good job!
...
Bruce is certain that he has adopted a Vampire.
Danny is a good kid, but he has a few oddities that are hard to ignore.
For one, his skin is constantly Ice Cold, but he never seens to be bothered by it. As if he was an Undead that didn't require Body Heat anymore.
He also seems to like Hanging out in the Graveyard outside, and when asked about it he says that he is comforted by the place. Just like the Vampires he has met in the past, who feel comfortable when surrounded by Death.
And of course the biggest reason for suspicion is the fact that Danny seems to be hinting at it to him.
He keeps asking stuff like "How would you deal with a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?", probably trying to hint that he is a Vampire who can't eat Garlic, or asking about easy to sunburn skin, saying that he is probably not a Daywalker.
Bruce hopes Danny will just come clean about it soon, he doesn't want to intrude upon the kid when he is so obviously nervous about how he will react.

Prompt:
Dick Grayson is put on mandatory vacation by a concerned BPD and finds a plane ticket booked to Germany in his mail the next day.
(“I am concerned for you, master Richard,” Alfred says when he calls to tell him Bruce can shove his charity right up his- “please do indulge this old man and allow yourself a break?” He doesn’t deserve a break. He needs to keep working or he’s going to come apart at the seams just like Bruce and- “… okay, Alf. Okay.”)
And… it’s nice, Dick will admit. No looking over his shoulder every two seconds, no fear of missed calls, no vigilantes.
Only an idyllic landscape, the hustle and bustle of foreign cities, Jason-
Wait, JASON?
