it is helpful in a couple ways, some of them major, but it's not enjoyable to do, and oftentimes i get so used to doing it that i forget i'm masking, and i kind of lose track of myself that way

i remember reading some statistic on the overlap between IDing as trans and being autistic and it had me shaking my head, an understanding smile on my face

this was very helpful to embrace when i was like 12, may not be as helpful for different people and different life situations, but very much indebted to this, would like to reconnect with it a bit more.

a compulsion with almost no bad side effects

these never feel good, interesting narrative device

it would be awesome if i could perform any of the human activities i used to enjoy and gain solace out of anymore but instead i'm kinda just studying how my own mind works now. worst thing i experience every day.

sucks! occupies a position in culture that is logically necessary but philosophically vestigial

Damn dude in the pic looks chill

Mostly indifferent but I gotta say there's still some of these with a pretty good and sometimes even breath-taking technique

like other forms of art -- music, painting, cooking -- the amount of fulfillment and joy you get out of the final product depends on the investment you put in. unlike other forms of art, forms a drug-like and queasy dependence if you go in without thinking about it too hard. easy to learn, hard to master

I had an old roommate that would start acting like this after smoking weed

i never really read this too much (preferred calvin and hobbes as a kid) but i'm pretty sure linux was one of the first three human beings that exists in my memory, which is very formative to me and basically means charles m schulz is my father, so anything less than a five would feel wrong

sometimes when i'm bored i do it for fun
