i’m so scared of being seen even tho it’s the only thing that I truly crave. i have zero selfies, not a single pic of me, no pfp or posts on any of my socials, i never leave a comment on any video; i’m terrified of being perceived or acknowledged even by complete strangers on my damn phone. i almost never leave home except for school, it’s been like this for the longest i can remember, Im never the first to dm or initiate a chat w anyone not online nor irl. i also wait on a follow request till i make sure it wasn’t by accident and then i accept it lol i’m always ALWAYS scared of taking up space, speaking up, being even remotely visible to people. i don’t wanna bother or annoy anyone. i know i cant keep hiding from the world then proceed to complain about being invisible. i feel pathetic for writing this but i js wanted to get if off my chest. i dont journal at all, you can tell from my poor writing skills and how bad i am at self expression lol; bc everytime i try to write perfectionism kicks in. i’m not pretty at all, untalented, unathletic, unproductive, not special or niche in any way. but i do think im intellectual, after all this is all ive ever been; doing good at school and being a nerd. my family loves me so much but i can get mean towards them at times. And catching myself being this bitchy around the only people who give me love makes me feel even worse. i’m so lonely, I fall into deep limerence episodes where i obsess over ppl who don’t know me at all lmao and it’s humiliating and embarrassing but it’s become an addiction. i feel like a creep and a loser all the time. i feel horrible. i dont think anyones gonna read this, and if anyone does im sorry for waisting your time and cringing you. im really sorry.

hey there i understand you’re processing a lot right now and that it’s been bottled up for so long. honestly, it’s amazing that you still managed to let it out- that matters more than anything. you’re trying, and that’s already a step forward i know you might feel stuck at a certain point in your life, but the truth is there’s no checklist we’re meant to follow to feel whole or fulfilled. life is full of imperfections. it’s about finding meaning in your own way and creating a space where you feel safe enough to express yourself and not just live, but feel alive from everything you’ve said, it feels like you’re afraid of the world and how it might see you, yet you also don’t want to stay locked in a space that slowly consumes you. i’ve felt that fear too- not in a hopeless way, but in the “wow, i actually have to exist and try” kind of way, wanting to mean something isn’t wrong. you don’t need to journal or explain yourself perfectly for your feelings to be valid. even choosing to vent here isn’t weakness, it’s the urge to find warmth again, to feel safe and understood. about the limerence you mentioned, it isn’t embarrassing. curiosity and awe can pull us in deep, but they also remind us that we’re alive and capable of feeling. i can’t promise the world will always be kind, but there’s so much out there if you allow yourself to explore, people, small interests, new experiences. don’t do it for anyone else, do it for you. you deserve to experience, to feel, to love, and to heal i love you, stranger. your feelings are valid, and your words made me feel safe too. you’re not cringe or a creep for speaking from your heart. i wish you well, friend :)<3
