Julie?

Please learn to stop falling into the depression trap that happens when you see friends hanging out and really actively enjoying a thing that happens to be problematic for you, or you plain just don't enjoy... and then qvietly withdrawing and loathing yourself because something -obviously- must be wrong with you.

It's ok to be an outsider, sometimes. Even if it's a lot of sometimes.

It's not all the time, and they are still your friends.

@JulieSqveakaroo Your friends are your friends because of who you are, not because of how you're like them in every way. *hugs*

@Momentrabbit I know. It's a bad loop in my mind that I've never been able to fully reroute.
