There’s no reason to try and appear strong and “well functioning” towards your doctor like you are probably used to doing for everyone else.
Just wanted to add onto this something I only recently found out about myself, and I can’t imagine I’m alone in this. There really isn’t a “mask off” version of “me,” because I started so early and it’s been so long (I’m in my 40s). I basically grew around the mask. When the mask is gone, it’s shattered. What’s left of “me” at that point is just a quivering pile of trauma, repression, guilt/shame, and maladaptive coping skills. There’s no in-between, just high- and non-functioning.
Yes, I am in therapy working on it. Double yes, it makes it difficult for anyone to believe that there’s anything amiss until I break. Tis no fun.
I was thinking “carbonite” myself.
Which is why you’ve chosen to be a kbinite.
That’s where I started too, much much better web interface than base lemmy. But then .social got flaky and I tried out Voyager and here we are.
I’m not falling for that one again, Mr. Disney Documentarian.

it would be amazing if the god of that religion would occasionally pop onto the planet and remind everybody that they exist, maybe give us the bread and circuses show to catch us back up, maybe throw out a couple of worldwide hey I forgive everybody’s and then pop back off just to remind us.
A thousand years without a reappearance of the God of all gods is a long time to keep the torch burning.

A dramatization, if you will.
I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one’s Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

…just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex sometimes. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.
The countable pixels and questionable color accuracy of the image mean that could definitely be a white grape. Which I would infinitely prefer over a whole green olive. I would eat the grape, even though it’s weird on pizza. I’d take that olive right off, or maybe eat around it.
Gotta draw the line somewhere.
Kart: Mii w/MegaMan suit
Smash: I don’t play

Who the hell puts grapes on pizza? 🤨
I’ve got a theory of my own: anyone afraid of being “replaced” isn’t that great, and should actually be replaced. Bigots, feel free to go back where you came from.
Well, at least I know ahead of time what tonight’s nightmares are gonna be about.
adds another to the “what’s this gif?” pile
I’m just glad I don’t drink milk. Because if I leaned nothing else from Tiny Toons, it’s that it would still be shooting out of my nose even though I laughed two minutes ago.
