yeah. online friends r easy. but i have been banned here 3 times, so…
life is different. and i suck at ignoring bad shit.
i think the trouble is i scare ppl, esp men. it’s something that doesnt make much sense to me. it’s not like i punch ppl. but i dont take shit, and that upsets a lot of ppl. and i do come from witches, back in the tree. i have a tat that says- you say i’m a bitch like it’s a bad thing. i rly try to only use it for good. but ppl seem to sense it, even if they never see it.
i’ve been in many orgs and boards where there is 1 person who, if i say it, they’re agin it. and it can b rly corrosive to the cause. being stuck in that, not able to just walk away….
i guess it’s something i’m rly insecure about. i dont consider just talking about stuff to b gossip. “what’s wrong w her?”, that’s gossip. judgement. i’ve had enough of that.
