Thelingering - I Like People

story time

for years of my life (at least 7 so far) I've talked to myself when I was alone to kind of word out my thoughts to myself because it helped me straighten everything out in my mind

but the problem was, due to the pandemic and other circumstances, I was hardly ever exposed to many people, of my age or otherwise

so when I finally started interacting and socialising (more recently than not), I got told numerous times that I whisper to myself a lot

now, I was not the most unaware of this habit, but I didn't quite realise just how audible it was to those around me, and how hard it was to keep my thoughts in my head

luckily I stood up for myself for once in my people-pleasing life and just kinda said "yeah I know lol, not easy to stop" and that was that

I still talk to myself to this day

I'm sure everyone thinks I've gone insane

One of these is accurate for me, plz tell me I'm not alone

Forgoing the usual pinned post for a very important announcement

this page of The Book of Mormon Girl broke me and put me back together and ive been thinking about it nonstop since i read it last month so i present it to the masses. (it is the author talking to herself as a YW, but it struck me deeply)

i have a certain itch to make a post but the Thing the post is about doesn't exist
