I still can’t get over how hard this attacked me. It came into my home and stabbed me multiple times a few months ago and I may actually now be a ghost
Bluesky, “The Others” edition
We are all actually still on twitter but in the afterlife and don’t know it. People there are like “hmm, feels haunted as of about eighteen months ago”
One thing someone said years ago that’s stuck with me
“Be yourself at all times, professionally and personally, even if it’s uncomfortable. If you develop any meaningful relationship they’ll find out who you are anyway and it feels like a subtle betrayal”
Trying to live that now
That sounds like it would inspire growth and happiness... this'll take a few moments
I do think I've become good at being direct and honest with those close to me. But living it everyday to strangers is anxiety inducing
It’s anxiety inducing for sure. I’ve been able to get over that now, but I’m also in a position of great privilege in that regard. White male hetero presenting dude in a wealthy area. If I tell people I’m crazy they infer “beautiful mind” crazy and don’t flinch too hard 😂
Yes I definitely considered an edit there, agreed. But as someone who feels kinda ill sometimes I’m not always opposed to that phrasing 😂
Making light of course
The most fun part is how difficult the process makes convincing people that you have a genuine condition instead of just "being selfish" or "refusing to get over things".
THE MOST FUN.
