>>3859342>What about you, do you have them in your life?I've had persons with whom I could share things in more depth in the past. Life made us hurt each other as time went on however, and eventually we went our own paths.
As of today, things are a bit complicated. "Muffled inside of a cocoon" would be one way to illustrate it.
This is actually not the first time you give me encouragements, so thank you for taking the time to do so once again despite my crude display.
>>3859371>It doesn't feel very personal, more like a professional relationship.I relate to the feeling.
It's difficult to open up and have it feel like it truthfully represents what's inside of me. It sort of feels like having to preentively swim between the assumptions or connections they would naturally make.
Another way to put it would be that they may, without realizing it, exert their natural order onto you, which in exchange, makes it harder to build a framework on which it's possible to exchange with them on a fairer basis. I have negative memories like this, with me trying to stretch the bubble further, only for them to bring me back on what they believe "is the topic". It's disheartening and sorts of make you feel inadequate as a human being.
I hope it makes some sense.
>I hope I'm not imposing or making too large of an assumption in saying that. If so, I'm very sorry.I do not think your intution is wrong. It's difficult to fully ascertain whether I wish for someone to talk with. I feel comfort in the idea of being able to exchange with someone I relate with, darkened with the fear that I could negatively permeate you ever so slightly.
I'm happy that you're reaching out to me. Thank you.
If you still wish to, I will take you up on your offer. I can share my Discord tag or add yours, whichever makes you most comfortable.
