The silly version is cooler anyway

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Was gonna say, silly is cool and can be very mysterious

My true self seems to only exist on the internet. I want to be me in meat space, too, but I just lock up most of the time and become completely non-verbal all the while I am aware of it and screaming inside my head to just do this, or say that the way I would on a comment or a chat room.

I applaud your self-control. My true self cannot be contained HAHAHAHAHA

Self-control? No... This is mental illness. And it sucks. :(

I have similar experiences with wanting to desperately be part of conversations, but not being able to expel the words.

Have you looked into selective mutism? Or being a highly sensetive person?

The world needs more silly.

It comes with age ... when you are young, you do things to impress others ... when you get a bit older, you do things to look respectable ... when you get a lot older and death is getting closer, you don't care anymore and say and do whatever you like

I wear colourful Hawaii shirts to balance out my bleak and anemic personality.
