Here's something I've found interesting; this entire week, everybody who knows me reasonably well has been asking me "hey, are you okay? Are you like sad, or tired?" and I haven't really known what to say because, while I was tired after pulling off an all-nighter, I am no longer as tired as I was early in the week, and furthermore, people have never been this inquisitive about my wellbeing, in a concerned/worried manner.

A part of me wonders if there actually is something going on with me and I'm just telling myself that I'm okay and everything's fine, which I am wont to to.

@realcaseyrollins That would be disconcerting. Maybe you should follow their question with a question of your own. Like, why do you ask? Maybe they can be more specific as to what they are picking up on.

@realcaseyrollins
Denial comes from a place of fear whereas positive affirmation comes from a place of faith.

@realcaseyrollins I'm here foryou if i can help in someway or you want to talk... You've seemed ok to me. The one little disagreement we had about gender did seem a bit unusual for you (its the first time I heard you say something that made me react in disgust) but I dont know if that is unusual behavior for you or if your just not hiding views that in the past you felt were best to keep to yourself. Either way I didn't take it as an indication that you aren't ok.

We are here for you though!

@freemo Thanks! 🤗

Yeah it's definitely not connected, I don't think, I've held the opinion for awhile but never thought I needed to shove it down anyone's throat. As it is, I'm probably not going to bring it back up, at least in the near future.

I am actually wondering if part of it too is me being single and wanting to be in a relationship, with Valentine's Day coming up. 😕 I haven't noticed myself being particularly gloomy, but multiple people have asked me why I'm not smiling as much as I used to. This could certainly be part of that. Not sure if it's actually the case or not...

@freemo Actually it is more likely because I'm really missing my 5 month old brother back home rn
