Make The World Smile

Having no sources of intimacy in your daily life and therefore resorting to learning as much as you can as a way to pass the time is such a sad cycle, every single day its like what can I become obsessively interested in this time to vaguely simulate companionship and a temporary sense of purpose that I know will eventually make me feel even more alone because even if I find meaning and enjoyment it is completely irrelevant to and isolated from everyone and everything else

I’m sorry to genuine friends that I’m about to unfollow, it doesn’t mean anything, I just need to for my mental health and the things that are being reblogged. This site is so hostile and I’m trying to warp it into something less mentally abusive for me, without costing my friends any part of their experience.

I posted this a while back, but in case anyone missed this: ^^^

This is actually, non-ironically, a great way of asking about benefits and company culture without asking about those things directly.

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!

Constantly trying to remind myself of this.
