see inner dialogue is fine and great because it gives a look into a character's mind the way a book would, but the trick really is learning how to also push things along. like having a character ask an important question they were hesitant to ask, and then having them internally panic while verbally being like 'wait actually-'. give them action AND dialogue, and make sure there are openings for other characters to interact

Yeah I do give stuff for the other person(s) to go off on, but a lot of the times I feel like I'm waiting for the other person to try to help move the plot along because I have no idea what should come next.

I HATE it when my friends try to relate to what I'm going through. NO! You do not know what it feels like to become numb! You do not know what it feels like to have your brain slowly shut down on you! You haven't gone through nearly as much emotional shit as I have so stop trying to relate!!!

@berlioz

Ok, valid, but to tail that I hate when people assume no one else could possibly hold as much or more emotional trauma than themselves. This isn't like an attack on you, bc I get that people can be fake, but there is a flip side sometimes and you just reminded me. No one holds a monopoly on mental damage or messed up emotions and the notion that some people might is the reason others keep spiraling.

It's just annoying because they are the most mentally stable and perfect people on the planet. The three of them are varsity level athletes who are all so attractive and perfect. They have straight As and have so many other friends than me. I only have the three of them and they have like dozens of other friends. It just gets on my nerves because a lot of the time they use mental health as jokes like "welp I'm feeling depressed because of math so I'm gonna go jump off a bridge" but as much as I remind them, I don't think that they get my terrible state of mental health and whenever they joke about it just hurts I guess. LIke you would never joke about having cancer in front of a cancer patient. They just don't understand and think I'm overreacting I guess.

I know that it's just… I don't know. They're all so successful at such a young age and I just feel inferior I guess. I just… They're just… I love them and they're amazing friends and stuff but they seem so stable and stuff. I really don't know. They have it all going for them, and I just have a bunch of stuff going against me.

I hate Wretched Radio. I've heard some of the most fear-mongering, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, religious brainwash from that show. The ideas presented are toxic and just wrong and my parents are willingly putting it in their head.

@moss

its probably just my fragile self esteem but i hate it when my friends put me down even if it's supposed to be a joke

@moss

For me its my humor. I feel like a narcissist when I say this but I think I'm pretty funny and it's my only good quality so when people say I'm not funny it kinda hits hard. Like today, I sent this tiktok to my friend that's like which minecraft youtuber you are are and I had tommy and my friends was like yeah except your not funny.

@moss

I also hate that being smart is the only personality trait my friends give me. I feel like they don't see anything past that. And i'm also not even like amazingly smart, i'm just a few grades ahead in math because I was good at it in elementary school

@HighPockets group

I can't think of a single Strong Thing and tbh I feel like that's a very bad sign
Idk, I'm super proud of this extracurricular group I was in in middle school (and also now, we recently revived) but at the same time I always felt like I was the least necessary member.
Anyways I hate that I can't have self-confidence without my brain going "but you're not good at that, you suck at everything you dumbass >:)"
