tbh that might have been me because Ive answered this? Im definitely sorry if so. Ive been told the way I talk sometimes sounds like Im having a dig (blame autism but also me for being bitter and blunt) but Im working on it, lol. yeah a lot of what you say I sympathize with, which is cool because Ive looked up to you for the longest time. its weird to feel and doubt that people are my friends because none of them are interested in art beyond the smuttiness. I LOVE that shit but I am more than just that. ——— That's more than fair, a lot of context gets lost over text as well So don't stress out too much over it. Frankly if it's more helpful I do keep my DM's open so you can always hit me up over that as well. only if you wanted though, no pressure. It is really strange. There's quite a few people I'd say I'm very good friends with. But it's only in the sphere of this kink, or that kink. No other outside interests. it doesn't make them any less important too me, but if you step outside that boundary then this just drop dead. That last point I've really been feeling a lot this year. There's been a lot of unfortunate things happening in the background. Stuff I've not openly talked about. It's real and it impacts me and has really slowed things down to a crawl work wise. You know you express some pain or frustration over a loss and no ones there. You bring up the kink they like and then everyone shows up. It can be infuriating. We are more than just funny avatars and words on a screen and it's way too easy to forget that these days.
