@PhoenixSerenity Embraces own confusion, i am lovable because i don't know what is going on.

@admitsWrongIfProven 🫂❤️

@PhoenixSerenity Ok, second charm: i can accept love and understanding.

Weird that this is a relevant thing to say, right?

@admitsWrongIfProven No - it's not. There's so many folks who are still too scared to accept love & empathy. It still doesn't hurt to try to reach out & then be patient.

@PhoenixSerenity I made a slightly self-deprecating joke, signaling awareness of my own fallibility. Not special, just some banter.
Now more banter would have been fine, no reaction too.

What i did not expect was a positive reaction. Not that it was wrong. Not that it was unsuitable. Just unexpected. It is rare, and that is sad. You act just like any reasonable person should.

What i mean is that it is strange that accepting this reaction of yours is unusual - how can a whole society withhold a basic human ability from so many? I did not reinvent the wheel, i did not do anything special. If i wanted to keep this from others, i would not know how. And surely i do not know a reason to do that, even if i knew how.

@admitsWrongIfProven Perhaps not overthinking on this is a good thing. I responded as someone on a lifelong healing journey, where my early starts were filled with people who didn't understand nor wanted to understand my struggles in trying to elevate myself again. I'm not someone who likes toxic positivity & am cagey around folks who live in that unrealistic mindset. I'm someone who tries to find beauty in chaos & magic in individuals. I try my best to share & support folks who are also trying their best to survive through our current shared hellscapes 🙌

@PhoenixSerenity Lol, i just noticed that you said "no overthinking" and i was crafting this message for quite a while.

Anyways, it is late here and i will go to bed now. It was nice talking to you, until tomorrow - i will see what i can do to not trigger what you mentioned, but it will be a challenge. I am trying to be positive in the face of quite negative stuff (in general, no immediate danger here)
