Comment OP
(Anonymous) 2023-10-07 01:27 am (UTC)(link)Those friendships also left me with destructive toxic feelings about myself sometimes for years after and I fell into old self harm habits and briefly cut myself off from old friends because I feared them hating me.
I've gotten better now but looking back it just started with them having reasonable enough sounding takes at first and slowly growing into something toxic. I'm still recovering from some things but ...well . That's why this gets to me

(Anonymous) 2023-10-07 06:07 am (UTC)(link)And yep, having been branded as one of the "bad people" in a fandom of antis and getting people warning other people off of me has made me feel like I'm toxic and no one should be friends with me lest their reputation also tank, even though I know I have done nothing wrong. (Well, I mean, everyone makes mistakes, obviously, so I'm not saying I'm a perfect human being. But nothing I've done is anywhere near the point where it makes sense to have half the fandom shunning me, and certainly none of the mistakes I've made that actually matter lie within the fiction I've written...)
And yeah, nowadays I really don't open up to anyone in fandom unless they've demonstrated sufficiently proship opinions.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-07 06:50 am (UTC)(link)On a side note: jeez, I had so much underage sex with other teens and it was perfectly natural way to learn my body and what I liked--and a way to earn total confidence so I was later very able to defend myself against people who wanted to take advantage. I knew what I should expect as far as boundaries and reciprocity went. If a 14 year old could offer them, why not an adult??? lol.
