@Tinywhisper11
That I'm really a nice guy and am not as scary as I look.
@courageouspanda2006
Our tendancy to [I won't say judge, make assumptions?] by looks is occasionally beneficial, but for the most part harmful, to us and to the person. You know the famous old saying about the word assume! Simply by your statement here you are asserting your true nature.-really nice. Hugs 💛
@courageouspanda2006 awww I don't think your scary💖 I always thought you were a sweet and funny guy 💗
@Tinywhisper11 The one thing I wish everyone knew about me — I don't take breaks from people, I take breaks for people. So hear me out - I feel like I can be a little... too much. Not because anyone makes me feel that way, but because that's how I perceive myself (I know, stop perceiving myself like that). When I spend a looot of time interacting with someone or a group, I tend to pull back— not in a rude way like ghosting, but dialing my energy down a bit. Like I may I switch from video chats or meetups to just texting, or I might go a pack up my bags and leave altogether (meet strangers and pester them lol). It's not something I do only with friends — I even do this with my parents, my siblings, even with the Aunty who cooks for me daily (I give Aunty off days, now that sounds pathetic ). But they've known me long enough to understand that I need that break too. I'm not saying this to fish for reassurance — I'm okay. I just wanted to put it out there in case you ever wonder why I disappear for a few days. Most likely, it's just me giving everyone (including myself) an Azure Pond detox ... or I'm genuinely busy. (I feel like I levelled up in a self growth game after writing and acknowledging this, my therapist will be proud)
@azurePond aww well I'm really glad you told us💖 now I understand if I don't hear from you for a while to not worry💖 I'll miss you but I won't worry💖 thank you for telling us this, gives you a giant tiny hug 💗

I am not a Monk.. shhh 🤫 secret secret
@Tinywhisper11
That I am a human too, I have my problems too, that I have my own life which they don't see.
@moonlightinnight
Moonlight, I get that. We all have our own challenges and we try to keep the two "worlds" separate when it comes to other folks, but sometimes they meld because we are one and the same person inside, no matter how hard we try to split ourselves into compartments. I don't know because I am new here, but I imagine most of us came in seeking encouragement for our own situation and gradually became more immersed in helping others we encountered in similar situations. Take care of yourself. It is my hope and prayer that you always feel supported and loved, here on 7 Cups and everywhere else!
@BlackTurtleWoman25
Thank you for your kind words❤️ You're right. I think expressing how we feel can often be difficult, and I am at least a bit more similar to myself here on cups rather than in school etc. Welcome to here❤️ and I hope you get a chance to have more time to be yourself too, here in cups or anywhere else. Hugs🫂🫂
@moonlightinnight 
@moonlightinnight people can become very needy/reliant on kind people like you, it's ok to say no, it's ok to cut off toxic people💖
@Tinywhisper11
Right, it's one of my other problems unfortunately... and maybe to avoid that I try avoiding people and getting close to them...
@moonlightinnight no don't avoid people, I have the same problem with people, who take advantage of your kindness, it's ok to take breaks from those people 💖 hugs you tightly 💗
