RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I've known Steve for years and while he doesn't hold it against me, I blame myself for some reason even though I should suck it up and stop feeling sorry for myself. He thinks it's too early to do romantic stuff, and I respect his boundaries like people have been saying, but other people think you SHOULD be romantic in a relationship. I'm not gonna be romantic because while I am attached, I don't think I'm ready for it either and neither is he and I just feel bad for being so attached. I know I've known him for years but still...

Also I've been broken up with because they "weren't ready" and by weren't ready, they found out they didn't actually even like me, they just wanted to not be lonely and turned to me because I'm a nice, available option. I don't think he thinks that, I hope not, but still.
