Or Is This Just Me? - Tumblr Posts

Me, a fan fiction writer: *Sees a happy go lucky character with a stable life, no canonic trauma whatsoever, friends, mental stability and nothing wrong with their life or attitude in the slightest*

Me: Oh, boy! I guess that since you smile in chapter two you’re depressed, anxious, and have trauma from your past!

Character: What, no, I like my life, I don’t-

Me: Haha! You also were bullied in middle school and have abandonment issues? That’s so wack, dude!

Character: No, that’s not true, I was a perfectly normal teenager, you can’t-

Me: Can’t wait to write a fic about you being so traumatized and depressed!

Character: Why are you like this?

Do you ever feel -empty, lost, on edge? like you need something you just don’t know what? Feel like I’m going crazy locked in a cage- craving some kind of substance, connection or something else- but you just can’t put your finger on what it is you need? And trying to figure it out drives you mental?
