I am not one of the good furries, good Queers or good artists; I'm not from a good age group or a good minority group. I'm getting too old to have a cool sex life, a cool profession or even go to cool places and, somehow, despite all of this, I'm supposed to find myself worthy and keep pushing on.
@topaz of course the cognitive distort really shows up if I counter all that with "maybe *I* want to feel I'm okay, and maybe *I* want to keep going and be happy, as reasons enough."
@Leucrotta 💛 those are /absolutely/ reasons enough!
@Leucrotta As a human being you are worthy, period.
Also as a friend to me who has neat interests and is a carign friend and who draws neat art and has made for plentiful naughty thoughts over the years, you are worthy.
@Leucrotta *hugs*
there will /always/ be people who have you in their outgroup.
Whether you're popular doesn't have to determine your worth... which yeah, is a big change from how you grew up, where you NEEDED to be popular to be safe. But..yeah.
