Half of this year has been me getting beaten down one time after another. I'm tired and emotionally drained. Does it get better anytime soon? I hope so.

tbh I have no idea how we got here considering I was just saying, 'hey respect people's boundaries, if you're not that familiar with them, don't make group dm's with just random people. I was saying it could apply with people getting a bit too close to you in rp that you don't like. No grandstanding or anything, I require time gates to unlock my friendship card because then I know you're too deep in the swamp with me. So again, I don't really know why this developed to this degree when I thought respecting people's boundaries wasn't a hot take. What other people do is none of my business or how they conduct themselves, I'm just a gremlin granny on the internet and I see no need to just bust through people's boundaries good ("let's be friends!") or bad ("Have I ever told you you're mature for your age").

Again, I didn't know that was a hot take, lol. I apologize coming in with fire I didn't know I had.

btw, I did just general replies cause I'm very confused on the take that you couldn't sort your relationships in boxes and it was negative towards those who want to be friends with everyone. I don't put my husband (a rp friend from forever ago) in the same box as my mother (who has possibly or will possibly let the cats eat my eyeballs when I die). I would be very creeped out if someone started to 'mom' me on the internet. But again, I didn't know it would be something so strange as a boundary, lmao.

I do state my boundary! I'm quite up front with it. I said "hey I'm uncomfortable with this type of reaching out when I don't know you." and I move on. What people call their friend is no deal at all to me. All I was bringing up is consider it! You can consider if a person is friendly or not. They might be fun online briefly but an absolute nightmare in dm's. That's okay to have that boundary.

And it's easy! My developmental disorder makes categories that are very arbitrary. I'm editing this to shorten it, but basically, my brain is different than yours and it's okay. I'm not sure why certain things have been said in your posts, but I do plead that the point was literally, and I'm saying this as flatly as possible. If you can avoid triggers in posts by thinking and reading, you might be able to avoid a sticky situation by not making sure you're both cool with the decision. Something to take in consideration.

If I could choose I would be quite normal about things. I am not. But I am fun. As long as you are not my doctors because then I will fight you.

thanks for coming to my ted talk

no harm no foul. Like y'all have to understand some of the wild dm's I get. I have helped someone with coding and they wanted to know where I live so they could hug me. One person told me they were going to kill a forum user. Discord is wild and I am just pleading that people think about others.

Preferably not dm me and tell me that you're jealous of my husband and they would cure my heart problems.

I sound extreme because I have seen things.
