@SheIsAnon__ Yeah, this why some people get mad about movie adaptations cause the person they cast doesn’t line up with what they imagined. (It’s me, I’m people)
There is nothing glamorous about doing life alone, hyper independence is a trauma response, you are not a burden, you derseve to be loved by people and be taken care of, held and loved in abundance. You deserve to be told "I love you , we care". Community is what we all need.
