looking at the quote tweets is quite illuminating – some people assume he wants people to feel sorry for him, which doesn't seem apparent to me at all others seem to assume that it didn't occur to him to keep those thoughts private, when it's obviously a deliberate choice

it's the same response i get when i talk about gender and sex stuff too. "oh, thank fuck someone is talking about this." that's the good stuff it's an unfortunate fact about twitter that to reach these people i also have to reach people who will not be helped at all

ideally the tweets would somehow only be shown to people it would help and not people who are like trying to get money for medical bills or whatever and just absolutely don't need to hear about my problems. that's not how twitter works tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tbh as someone who is literally trying to get money for surgery and who is not in your position (neither financially nor with relationship with parents) your poasts were legit helpful
