I've wanted to become "normier."

I actually... like being a normie, a regular ass person with regular things to say with regular ways of expressing myself, with regular dreams and a regular lifestyle

That's... really what I am, I am not... a 3pp it/its trans plural robot doll, I am just a normie cis he/him guy who likes doing regular things, and I am content with that, I am happy that I am the way that I am but sometimes I feel... strange

I have BPD, I think you all know that, and... I tend to have these experiences where I feel like I don't fit anywhere I go

I have had some really bad experiences before that have left me feeling like I was a bad person, that I have bad intentions deep down, that I am a fake ally, that I should shut up and stay quiet, that nobody should love me, and that I should just quit the spaces I am on, because I don't deserve the friends I have, and they deserve better.

My mind creates these harmful dichotomies of this state of being that tells me that I'm either like them so that I am accepted, or like the very opposite, which automatically puts me in the same lane as MAGA conservatives, and that somehow... I will never fit anywhere.

That maybe, becoming a First Name Last Name, real face in profile picture, cis he/him type of person will distance me from all of my friends, that I'll become a harmful stereotype, and as my friends come out as queerer every day, becoming things that I still have a hard time grasping on (like 3pp it/its pronouns) I just feel like I'll never connect or fit, that I'm forever unplugged.

I guess that's why I feared being a normie, even though I am.

But I must do what I must do, and I want to embrace myself, but please, all of my friends, I need you to give me the encouragement I need to keep being myself, and to feel like I am doing a good job, to feel like I am not what I fear of becoming, even if it may seem a bit crazy on the outside, I just need this confirmation that I am not a bad person.

Thanks everyone for reading.

@nelson your text makes me wanna write a "in defense of the normie" type blogpost. You're doing good, you show so much love and compassion for the people around you! Its very clear you wish nothing but good for everyone around you!

i dont know you much but I have no doubt you are a good person :neofox_hug_blob:

@lucydev thank you.... sometimes i need this confirmation that i am doing something well, because i have issues believing i'm a good person

again, i am.. not sure of what words to say other than... i'm happy that i'm inspiring you to create something, and thank you for your kind words

@nelson sometimes you just need this kinda affirmation. i sure as hell needed it in the past, and my ex-gf (now best friend) needed it from time to time as well.

what im trying to say is, its a normal thing to need sometimes
