Every night, look in a mirror and say this or something similar.  It can help if you’re struggling with body positivity.

This is my body.  It is not perfect, but it is mine.  It is the vessel through which I move and act in the world.

My body can do wonderful things like [name 3 things you can do].  [If you have a disability or chronic illness, add: “It has adapted to life with (condition).”]

[People with gender dysphoria: “It does not match my gender, but my gender is still real.  In time, it will change to look more like the person I am inside.”]

Over time, my body will change.  I will gain weight, and lose it.  I will age.  I will be in good health and bad.  But this is what my body looks like right now.

I accept that this is how my body looks today.  It may look different tomorrow, but I am not there yet.  I am here, in today, with my body.  This is who I am at this point in my journey.

Lately I’ve really been feeling like people are just kind of tolerating my roleplaying rather than genuinely enjoying and getting excited about it? I always, every day, see people on my dash getting really excited and passionate about certain threads they have, certain people they roleplay with, etc and I feel like I’m just kinda met with indifference most of the time?

I know I’m a really slow roleplayer sometimes when work or my depression gets to me (or, more recently, being sick), but…. I’ve been holding myself back from letting myself get excited about RPs because it just seems like every thread or ship or character I do get excited about is generally met with “eh. it’s okay i guess” from the other muns involved. And that’s probably a big part of why I’ve been so slow with RPs lately. (Other than, you know, being sick this last week.)
