I originally approached the internet with a 'be vulnerable' philosophy - to share as much about hopes and fears and things I'm struggling with as I can. I somehow didn't anticipate that people would make a bunch of assumptions without checking with me?? 1/

I know this is pretty obvious now, but there's something in my model of the world that made this not-obvious, and it's *still* not obvious! Every time I see someone confidently making statements (usually blatantly incorrect) about my emotions or internal life I'm like... how????

This is probably a lesson other people have internalized and is why more of them aren't also as publicly vulnerable as they can possibly manage. I *figured* there was a reason why I just didn't know what it was!

The lion does not concern itself with the musings of the sheep. Don’t worry what people think or their opinions of you…

Pretty sure people will make assumptions either way, so better just not give a shit

No, I'm just still really vulnerable online. I don't let it get to me. The cost of being seen incorrectly isn't greater to me than the cost of silence.
