A question

How do you deal with simps and so in ur social media? Espessially when you just need someone to listen... But they have other plans. And you blame yourself for taking the hi request in hopes someone would listen to you but end up trying to get you and you're that type of person Who gets attached and they're not and everyone blames you for being reckless and there's never the golden middle some people tell you to not talk to anyone others tell you to not think so much. Thank you trauma for making half the people call me sth cencored and the other half a nun for just needing some reassurance. I'm not the type of People who just don't think about it. I get attached and emotional and overthink it and then it hurts to see others just don't think about it. In real life never really allowed any closure

what’s a simp?

[Against_the_current in reply to Blueruth]

Someone who overly compliments you and acts like they have a massive crush on you

[Blueruth in reply to Against_the_current]

I feel like social media is a place you can act yourself or as a persona so I don’t think I would put too much effort into anyone I hadn’t met in person. Basically I would move on. It is like in person where you have to make an excuse. Just don’t engage.

Listening to others is actually very helpful for your wellbeing too don’t underestimate it

People listen to you here but this is online and therefore not the same as in person. That is really the problem with the internet. Instead get out and find places where real people exist. Or work with a therapist. You have said this is nearly impossible in your country. I have a wild idea… what if you get VPN and sign up with an online therapist in a different country? Is that a possibility?

I tried through some platform like BetterHelp and Innsigtful when they offered free trials but even in program it's too expensive. I litterary live with less money for a month that an average American therapist would get for 2 hours

[Blueruth in reply to Against_the_current]

did you take advantage of the trials anyway? At least it is someone *today*. Have you looked for a Bulgarian LGBTQ discord server?

[Against_the_current in reply to Blueruth]

I did take advantage. And i might search something

[Blueruth in reply to Against_the_current]

discord and mastodon are decentralized networks. Mastodon is newer. That might be a safe place to ask for help in your country

[Against_the_current in reply to Blueruth]

I need to search it up. Thanks

That is hard. Then sometimes people twist your words around and suddenly you're the bad guy/gal in the conversation.😕

[Against_the_current in reply to Itzallgood1]

I know right. I'm always the villain somehow. I really don't want to hurt anyone but nobody understands. As If im on a different level of speaking

[Itzallgood1 in reply to Against_the_current]

I know the feeling
