I'm going back to hell where it is safe.

Huh

this!! I swear I lost like all my friendships bc of this, like I had a group of friends in hs that one day I realized “huh I haven’t talked to this people in a while” and popped in to say hi and they were all awkward?? because they hadn’t seen me in a while?? and that’s when I realized that friendship works different for them?? I was like yeah I haven’t talked to you in like four months but it’s not like I’ve forgotten about y'all why would anything change, and they were all like we haven’t talked to you in four months why are you here again acting like nothing happened? and it was really confusing for me

Anyway all my mutuals I haven’t messaged in forever - this is why

oh my gods this makes so much sense??? there are people who i haven’t talked to at all for literally over a year and we’ll pick up like nothing happened, but for their people it’s just like…… falling apart but onesided???? i think we’re still on the same level but actually we’re strangers??

Ohhhhhh

OHHHHHHHHH….

Ok but listen, on the other side of this, as a person who moved hundreds of miles away from everyone i knew and then became a hermit for several years, it was SUCH A FUCKING RELIEF to get in contact with an old friend and have him be like, “my friendship levels do not degrade, so in my mind we are still awesome close buddies” and i almost fkn cried. I thought he would be mad or would have moved on because i had slacked on my reaching out to him and staying in touch and doing all the friendship things. But NOPE. 800 miles of distance, depression, and life changing circumstances didnt steal our friendship and i am SO GRATEFUL.

Happy to go on the record that I don’t expect regular contact and will welcome hearing from people after a long time

Holy shit, I didn’t actually realize this was a Thing.

if you have a status on Discord right now, reblog and say what it is (optional: what does it mean?)

The earlier in the year you reblog this the better it gets

I wish I’d seen this post sooner.

If you grew up as the golden child, you were neglected in ways that is crippling for the rest of your life. The quiet, well behaved child, you did well in school and you were only praised when you were doing well, you were only addressed or paid attention to when you were not living up to that standard, so you only ever heard criticism because your perfectionism was a standard that was your obligation to reach. the golden child, that had to watch their siblings or friends be rewarded for things that were just expectations for you.

you were more like the family’s obedient dog. and now as an adult you’re burnt out from living up to this idea that you could be perfect. that’s why you are never satisfied with your art, your writing, your promotion because you reaching this goal is the bare minimum, while for others, it’s a reachable goal that is to be celebrated.
