"im such a jealous person, i hate when people i like talk to other people. im sooo toxic" thats not cute or quirky and its unhealthy for you and everyone around you. maybe dont brag about this on the internet and work on yourself because you and your friends deserve better
like i have massive abandonment issues and struggle with jealousy but i dont try to flaunt it and act like its a goofy thing because its not funny & its something ive been working on my entire life, but maybe thats just me. idk
i just think theres a lot to be said about the way ppl talk about symptoms of their mental illness on here.. like theres venting about your experiences, and then theres "my friends are my property and i hate when they speak to others haha. # relatable"
im still working on this myself (bc social media is really not a great place to learn healthy coping mechanisms) but constantly making your worst symptoms into inherent personality traits in an effort to be funny or relatable is not helping you and its not helping others
im not saying its like easy (because its not, unlearning this shit & doing better is HARD and it takes time) but it is incredibly important to at least try to work on yourself and not just sit and marinate in your own misery
like this is coming from me who used to genuinely do that a LOT as a younger teen on the internet, you get into these spaces and you just wallow in your misery and you turn your worst symptoms into who you are bc you think thats all you can be
but your symptoms are not who you are and you have /always/ deserved better and it is okay to try to work towards that. its not "fix yourself asap or youre a horrible person," but just try to be kinder to yourself
idk how this turned into an essay im sorry legends i sort of rambled and went into like a different adjacent topic here
