I keep posting things and deleting them. Sometime I hope I'll feel ok enough to keep one.

Don’t delete.

It’s cool to just say hey.

Hey….

Depression sucks - I've lived with those demons for most my childhood and adult life. Trying is good enough in my book, although I still hope that it was stellar.

Much love from an internet stranger!

Hey, I recognise your username from comments. You once commented on my post that you appreciate me and that stuck with me. I still think about it sometimes. You seem like a really lovely person, hope to see you around more.

The stage - the fear. My life is rejections at this point and everything else is falling apart at the seams. Putting myself out in any way is...... not ideal to me.

[–] Iapar@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

I can understand that.

Me helped it to make different usernames and playing roles to try out different things. Then the reaction was against that role and not myself.

It also gave me time to come up with good reactions to reactions. And everything that worked, I adapted for my "real" self. Like social interactions with training-wheels.

Learning to not let it get to you or even see some humor in it was one of the greatest feelings in my life and I wish you the same feeling.

I hope that shit gets better for you.

Hey . Also do you feel like the Post's gonna be associated with you after you post it or something ? Or is it the good old no one gives a fuck/why do i even try feeling ?

[–] DudemanJenkins@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I get so much rejection in my life that the possibility of any feels daunting now. My self-worth is very not ok right now.

[–] Onionguy@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Thanks for posting. I rarely post myself and was glad that this little greeting showed up on my screen. I appreciate it and wish you all the best.
