I want to get this out of my chest since it’s not the first time I’ve thought about doing it. I just want to say that now for the first time in a very long time I feel proud of myself for improving and opening up a bit on this app. I suffer from a very extreme form of

social anxiety and the fact that I started commenting and liking stuff it’s such a big improvement for me. I say this now because recently I started risking more (by doing that) and the likes and the responses to why I write made me feel so appreciated and accepted.

I’m not hungry for likes or being noticed just to clarify. But my mental illness makes me feel so fearful of judgement and being observed and scrutinised, so to me the interactions on here made me feel a bit more confident because it proved me that not everybody is mean and

judgemental. Finally I’d like to say THANK YOU for everyone that takes the time to notice my comments, reading them and liking or responding to them in a nice way. It makes me feel accepted and included. You are so kind and I feel extremely thankful even if for a lot of people

it’s just a little thing, to me it means the world. To everyone that I follow, that follow me, that like or interact with me through the comment section or DMs thank you immensely for making me feel less lonely and rejected.
