Honestly, I kind of feel the same.

It just feels kind of selfish, to be stressing out about, say, college loans or something, and then go check out your friends' journals and find people talking about barely scraping by on their disability check, or how they got triggered by [thing] and are just now coming down from the panic attack, or how disgusted they feel by their own body every time they look in the mirror. And then I feel guilty, for having the privilege to worry about a piddly thing like college loans. (And intellectually I know privilege guilt is a useless and selfish and terrible reaction, but it remains my instant gut reaction nevertheless. And then I feel worse for that, hooray.)

And really, more than anything I would like to be able to sympathize, but I... just can't relate. I realize how little common ground I actually have with my so-called friends besides fandom. And that makes me feel extra shitty.

aw poor you and your poor privileged fee fees

....

I know you were trying for some baby-talk, but you do realize that a fee fee is a home-made male masturbation toy, right?

I mean, c'mon, I can't be the only one who went to high school.

DA

I've never heard that one before. Huh. My three-year-old nephew has a stuffed penguin he calls Feefee, that's what I've always associated it with.

But yeah, I really hate the condescending term "fee fees."

Excuse you.

I have a mental illness that's very debilitating. But if my fandom friends can't relate, I'm happy for them, because it means that they're not having to deal with the same shit. It doesn't mean your problems are less, well, problematic than mine, since they're affecting you greatly. They might be less intense or debilitating, but it doesn't make them any less legit. I might get a bit pissed if I'm talking about the awful side effects the medication I take to keep me from thinking the government is reading my thoughts, and that the random person walking down the street is going to attack me is giving me and you interrupt to talk about your college loans, but in my experience? People like that tend to not hang around me anyway (they think I'm going to try to eat them or something, I dunno. Neurotypical people can be weird).

And if your friends try to make you feel bad because you don't have the same problems that they do, then they suck as friends, and you need to find new ones.

And you know what? If something's bothering one of my friends, even if it's something really minor, I want to help them with it. Again, if your friends begrudge you that then they're really not your friends. Don't feel guilty that you don't have serious problems. Be glad you don't!
