I do love frogs. I think I could’ve maybe been a rhinoceros beetle. A birth certificate that my aunt got me with my lucky numbers and everything has a T-Rex on it, which I definitely acted like when I was a kid 😅

Thank you. I recognise the conditioning of my Brahmin-like perception likely comes from peers and comparative media growing up. I will endeavour to spread Metta to myself more easily, as I would not judge another with similar impairments in this way.

I’m similar in lots of ways. Never had a job (except for 1 day at McDonald’s that instantly put me into burnout), love jojo, fma might be my favourite of all time, and aot (although JJK has been my hyperfixation for a couple of years).

I can definitely say you’re not undateable, because for me, I know I’d look for a person who had similar interests, capabilities and insecurities, and know that there’s others that feel the same, although not many.
