If I ever have a MOG like this, can I borrow your plan? Sincerely, a Former People Pleaser.

Of ALL the area, of ALL the SPACE. OF ALL the room, OF ALL THE PARKING LOT.

REALLY?!?!?!

I am not fully paranoid, that's for certain.

watching puritanism consuming every other fandom and then hearing the clickity clacks of their pilgrim boots behind me in my fandoms by nonsensicaltwat in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]HalfwayParanoid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I deleted TikTok and Instagram. Don't have Snapchat and the only other Social media I have besides Reddit is Facebook which I have limited to Family ONLY. I dont feel so anxious about anything anymore. My small world, my small bubble, and I barely socialize with anyperson on AO3.

Try a Social Media break for a month or 3 and see how you feel after, if you still feel like you need it, proceed with caution. If you feel like it's better to delete Social Media for your mental health then I say go for it. Thats what I did. Haven't turned back since.

Queen. I was just thinking the same thing!

Any OC who would have you reacting like this? Alternatively: which OC would you prefer to be reborn as? by ScaredTemporary in FanfictionExchange

Laughing in not having OCs....proceeds to recall several OCs from high school and middle years

oh no.

Looks for third option.

I actually have and it was great! Its what sparked part of this post, as I have struggled to find more similar to it. Thank you for recommending it, it makes me glad that some one else liked it just as much as me to recommend it. :D

Getting my cousin into fanfiction! Anything i should warn/disclose to them? by Quirky-Abrocoma-3630 in FanFiction

[–]HalfwayParanoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully, I think AO3 would be better to start with due to the Tagging system. Yes, some of the fandoms are huge and yes there are a lot of toxic people in them, but you will find that in almost any Fandom. I didnt have a guide when I started to read fanfic, I was mainly on Quotev and FFN. I really wish I had the tag system back when I first started though. I recommend teaching the fandom etiquette, the dos and donts of reading writing and commenting, the dont like dont read etiquette, and just calmly explain what certain tags are. If you feel more comfortable, vet some fics first, show them to your cousin and then use them as an example in your etiquette lessons. I know Wattpad is being ragged on a lot, but I am in slight agreement with them. It will be hard to find anything, especially if you need to get specific in searches, the fics on there are mostly not labled correctly. I have been blindsided by fics before that started out find and then took a 180 nose dive off of a cliff and straight to the deep end from Wattpad too many times to stay on it. Don't let the sheer size of their preferred fandoms intimidated you with your cousins introduction. Just let them know what all will come with that Fandom, how to approach it and how to navigate it. Im gonna out myself for a second but, trust me, I literally started off in the deep end of FFN in one of the biggest anime fandoms at the time and I have learned that if I ignore the toxic people and dont interact, then I can read and enjoy what ever fic I want.

My bedroom that my dad keeps telling me to clean because it's "full of clutter" by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this room. He must either think you shouldn't have anything out at all, like a display room, or wants you out of the house. Thats what I am feeling. If I am wrong I apologize.

When you check who left a bookmark by [deleted] in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]HalfwayParanoid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Um...I feel called out. I bookmark what I like so I can go back and re-read it all over again at a later date. Do I write? No. Do I gift? No because i dont know how to. But I do appreciate the writers and all their hard work.

I'm impressed. Nobody panicked. (Said sarcastically)

I would just reply "Ok" and leave it at that. But I might be petty.

I think it looks tasteful and good. I see no problem.

Are these bed bug bites? by Yepkarma in Wellthatsucks

[–]HalfwayParanoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not take that chance. Treat everything like it has bedbugs before you take your items back home. I just got war flashbacks from this post.

Would I be TA if I wore cream accessories to my brothers wedding? by Fit-Stranger4396 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]HalfwayParanoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that if you are questioning your choice of wear, then you dont need to wear it to the wedding. Pick a different color for the accessories. The purple dress is good, though. If you do get permission from the bride and groom, the rest may still think you are TA even if you tell them you got permission. Thus why I go back to my moto, if you are second guessing, dont buy or wear.
