Hey I& #39;m gonna talk about something that really makes my life harder sometimes. Here& #39;s a thread on the philosophy of consent, how to use it, and my personal boundaries.

First off, if you& #39;re reading this, you& #39;ve maybe done this with me. That& #39;s okay! Please try to:
1) Keep your feeling-bad about it to a minimum. I& #39;m not mad, I& #39;m just tired!
2) Not message me to apologize. I& #39;ll just coddle you!
3) Be aware and not do it again. Thanks!

I& #39;m someone with a difficult time stopping someone if they haven& #39;t asked me. If someone does ask me, I can speak up, but if you don& #39;t ask me, I can& #39;t. This is clearly a problem when in more intimate situations, but it also comes up in conversations.

If you start talking at me about something I cannot promise I can ask you to stop. This is something I& #39;m very okay with when I ask you to talk about something! If I ask you how you& #39;re doing, I *want* to know about it!

But like, please ... before telling me about something cool, or showing me something, ask me if I want to hear about it. It& #39;s a really small template shift to make, and it takes ALL the pressure off of me to step forward and assert myself.

I love RPGs a lot. Like, I really do! I CANNOT talk about them much right now. I have a people-pleaser complex and I cannot leave people on read. I need to be able to trust you all to respect my boundaries, and to ask.
