i don't think we talk enough about how childhood bullying really just. fucks up your ability to make friends long-term.

I'm not talking about self-image or even like attachment styles, although peer emotional abuse affects that too. I'm talking about how it legitimately stunts your understanding of how positive platonic relationships even work.

Like, a few years back (pre pandemic) a classmate point-blank told me, "hey, you're pretty cool, do you wanna come out for drinks and trivia with us Thursday night?" and my first internal reaction wasn't "oh cool, a friend!" or even "I'm not really interested" but: "where is the trap?" My kneejerk response to an earnest overture of friendship from this guy was trying to figure out how he was trying to back me into a corner, trick me into something, or make fun of me. We were in goddamm GRADUATE SCHOOL.

Of course I did end up going to drinks and it was a lovely time, but sometimes I think about the sheer number of potential friendships I've missed out on because I read their intentions as potentially hostile, *even when their intent is clearly not hostile*. Getting asked out for drinks is SUPER NORMAL. Being invited to parties is normal. Meeting for coffee is normal. in fact it's a primary way of forging adult friendships. But i am immediately wary of it, because the years in which I was developing most of my crucial social skills were spent dodging cruel pranks, getting invited to fake parties or uninvited from real ones, getting asked out "as a joke", being given compliments that were actually somehow insults, and so forth.

I don't have problems making friends-- I talk to people for a living, I am overall extremely charismatic and get invited out a lot, but I struggle to forge new connections because my trained response is to be immediately suspicious of people who appear friendly, welcoming and well-intentioned -- even fifteen years later. This is why I don't get the "you should have been bullied more" crowd. Like somehow bullying makes you more "normal". It definitely doesn't, even if "normal" was a real thing. I am definitely a more antisocial weirdo as a result of prolonged peer-to-peer emotional abuse than I would have been otherwise.

Shapeshifter who gets horribly grotesque and mutilated when flustered

in the club straight up squandering it. and by it i mean. my potentioal

I think I’m good at behaving normally irl, but increasingly I’m realising that I just hang out with unhinged ppl and speaking outside my friend group is like driving a train with no brakes into a volcano

i already have a job and it's called keeping myself alive. why do i have to be employed on top of that

He saw Gayatri from across the room

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

TUMBLR I RETURN . ART TAKES FOREVER ON A NEW PHONE BUT ILL FEED YOU

first actual calliope refsheet + a redesign im sticking with ! i have GOOD reasoning for these changes because it was moreso my criticism of my own old design !

mainly being since he's 26, he looked too young in my eyes and too ... small ?? especially since he's 6'2 so i tried making them appear taller and more square - shaped to add onto the height + appearance !

PLUS i wanted to base his outfit on more medieval-esque attire so i examined a few and mainly did what i thought looked good / fit his personality ! in the end im super happy w this and how it turned out
