“She had felt that way during her own childhood; she’d felt like a watchful, wary adult housed in a little girl’s body. And yet nowadays, paradoxically, it often seemed to her that from behind her adult face a child about eleven years old was still gazing out at the world.”
— Anne Tyler, Clock Dance
i really wish platonic relationships were more important. i’m tired of losing friendships because i’m less important than their significant other. i hate that i’m automatically not as close to my friends because i’m not the person they’re dating/sleeping with. and i hate how whenever i complain about it the response is “you’ll find someone too someday!” like no I shouldn’t have to “find someone” to feel loved and important, maybe we should stop promoting investing all your time and effort and physical and emotional intimacy into one romantic/sexual partner idk
early stages of friendship are Soooo embarrassing like yea sorry....... it's me again............ i enjoy talking to you and spending time with you....... you can shoot me point blank if you want i dont mind
hate when people don’t give my personality enough time to defrost like i swear you’ll love me just give me 2 weeks
making a guide is too kind honestly, if ppl lack the common sense to not be a prick to someone and lack the ability to consider how they’d feel if someone said these things to them, they should be exiled from society. actually i’m surprised natural selection hasn’t gotten them yet
very informative guide tho
Thanks :)
