kink
thinking about how much i worried about people learning that i liked something weird compared to the reactions i actually got when i confided in them
almost universally, the reactions i got were "wait, that's it??"
it's like they were disappointed it wasn't something wilder, and that i just spent so much emotional energy on the most innocent thing imaginable
kink, abdl
i don't know what i expected
them: "so, you are saying you like to feel cute and be comfortable in platonic settings by wearing underwear you like?"
me: y-yes
them: "get out of here, that's too hardcore, man. friendship over"
i legit thought i would be ostracized
and while there are definitely people who can be icked out by this kind of thing (which is why i cw!) it's almost funny how distorted my perception was
things i appreciate about being abdl
it's no exaggeration to say that being abdl is the source of a huge number of positive traits that i have now that make me who i am
ones that i wouldn't trade anything for~
and for all the interpersonal-kryptonite i worried it could become, it also has indirectly informed the way i interact with others to such an enormous degree that i feel has had the opposite effect; making me legitimately a better person
which makes me happy too!
re: things i appreciate about being abdl
@thingywott it cute!
things i appreciate about being abdl
compare that to now, where i legitimately feel lucky that i'm abdl!
but, also!
