Look I agree and I’m not going to read any of the comments it’s going to be a lot of how dare you! But seriously. A lot of people in fandom need to get out of the house, because being online is making their disabilities worse not managed.

Yeah, shut the fuck up, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Ableist wanktrumpet.

People are going to hate on you for this but it's so true. My mental health improved massively once I actually started going out and interacting with people offline instead of sitting in front of my computer 24/7.

I hate to tell you this, but in the real world, disabilities are sometimes more mobility-limiting than social anxiety.

I am glad your mental health improved, however. It's a strategy that worked for you and that's awesome.

My legs aren't suddenly gonna work if I wheel myself outside and stare at the sun a few hours a day, anon. (Also I play board games with my housemates so???)

ayrt didn't say it was the case for everyone, or for you specifically. they're correct in that it's true for a lot of people with mental health problems. acting like they said "go outside, it'll cure all your ailments!" is disingenuous and you know it.

(Anonymous) 2022-08-22 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh fuck yourself raw, anon, because that's what they implied and I'm sick of it and you people who pretend to care.

(Anonymous) 2022-08-23 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's not what they implied at all, you're projecting.

Maybe some but you can't really say that as a blanket statement. I can tell you that while socially interacting at work did build my social skills (I'm autistic and have OCD) before I really started writing fanfiction, I was obsessive about things to the point where I rarely talked about anything else and my social skills were severely stunted.

However the more I wrote fanfiction and interacted with fans online (as well as getting out of the toxic hellhole that was my high school) I gradually started to compartmentalize my obsessions/hyperfixations/fandoms and be able to talk more about other things. and soon I was holding regular conversations with my parents and siblings about what happened at work , what was going on in the world, and actually pursuing other interests like an interest in crime cases and an interest in analyzing song lyrics.

I could talk about other things besides my fandom thing because fanfiction and fandom gave me an outlet for them.

Also OCD and autistic here, my mental states actually IMPROVED a lot once I was allowed to live in a carefree way and not worry so much about money for basic survival needs.

(Anonymous) 2022-08-21 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
(In case anyone doesn't get this: money means going outside in order to keep a job to survive.)

(Anonymous) 2022-08-21 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Its less of a how dare you and more of a Ha-Ha you're cranky because you could never make money out of writing fanfics, and with your attitudes on disabled people I can only with that you have a shit your pants forever day.
