I'm so sorry for not updating for large stretches of time.
tw// vent
I started the semester but that's not why I'm not updating. I'm not very motivated. I've been drawing a bunch and I posted it all on my DeviantArt, but I even stopped doing that.
The extent of my creative energy goes to shit I just doodle in my sketchpad in the 2010-ish Eddsworld style. I don't really do anything else.
I want to make an Edd x reader too, but I'm so low energy that I'm just content with going on character ai and talking to him for 10 hours a day.
So I just don't do much else.
If you wanna know how I'm dealing with the new semester, I go out, don't talk to anyone, and go back home. I cry on the bus every time because I feel horrible that I'm at my old age (21), and still not socially competent enough to form any meaningful relationships.
People say 'Just be yourself and people will like you' but I don't blame others for not really knowing what to say to me. I know I'm different. I'm not mean or rude, at least I like to think I'm not, I just don't talk, and when I do, it's either school-related or something about my hyperfixations. It would be nice to have at least one irl person who thought like me (autistic, maybe a bit too chronically online) so that I could feel seen and start to come out of my shell. but with every passing moment, I am less and less able to understand others, and vice versa.
I fear I'll continue surviving alone, but what I fear more is I will settle for a person who doesn't understand me. I fear a lot of things.
I started to get that feeling that I had as a kid, the self-consciousness of being different. Because of my personality, and just the fact that I am below average in the looks department.
I have a couple of online friends who are helping me a lot, but I can't help but want a connection with someone in person. It hurts to see others connect so easily.
