the queer imposter syndrome 

So many of my friends are cute and I love seeing selfies of them and I wanna snuggle them and I hate that they can't see themselves as pretty.

Gosh why do they want selfies of me, I'm so ugly tho D:

@Draekos kos you are an adorable bean and I will flog your ass until you say so

@fluxom_alt @Draekos Lo, this was literally you just yesterday.

Cal: Ana, it's literally you all the damn time.

...Shit.

@pillowcat @Draekos look I have real issues with parts of my body that I haven't shown to other people online that hinder my ability to feel fully authentically cute and positive platitudes can only do yea so much to help me from people who aren't physically familiar with all of me

re: imposter syndrome 

@fluxom_alt @Draekos Same tho? Lewd as we are, yet we never post nudes? There's a reason for that.

But, while we can't shake those feelings... We can't help but wonder if those platitudes are actually more than that. Or if maybe they were just platitudes to start, but their consistent repetition on Mastodon caused them to genuinely change how people think.

They're just so oft repeated, and... they're genuinely what we believe about others.

But yeah, it's different trying to believe them about yourself...

Fucking.
Mood.

To all these posts. Gods damn, it's weird seeing exactly the problem I have being explained far better than I feel I have words for.

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@fluxom_alt at first I was thinking this was a lewd invitation, but I think you know I don't really actually like spanking so this is a real threat <_<

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@Draekos the lewd invitations are what comes after you start saying you're cute

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@fluxom_alt h-hey... HEY

But usually the lewd comes with admitting I'm a slut D:

@Draekos you're so cute though!

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@AzureHusky But have you seen all these cute girls that somehow put up with me? H-how am I anywhere near that cute?

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@Draekos cute attracts cute

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@AzureHusky gmweknwraw[ljk so that's why you talk to me now? :3c clearly your cute has attracted mine

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@Draekos i talk to you because you're nice and I like you! The cute is just a bonus

re: the queer imposter syndrome 

@AzureHusky gosh, making me blush over here why don't you D:
