I was trying to describe someone to an old fandom friend and I was like 'I dunno, they give me the same vibe that I get from you tbh. Like- 'wow this person is cooler than me'
and she agreed So Whole Heartedly until I explained that I meant that I thought /she/ was cooler than me and then she was just like ????????????
and I'm just like????
what part of my persona would ever make anyone think I'm *cool*
I will never join dating apps because I don’t want someone to be actively searching for a gf and think I fit the bill enough to fill that role. I want you to meet ME and organically realize you want ME specifically rather than an arbitrary role that could hypothetically be filled by anyone
Annabeth, the 12 y/o kid who has a hard time choosing her favorite candy flavor and grabs everything because that's what kids do and she never got to just be a kid
vs
the uneasy feeling she gets and the way she instantly picks up on the monster in the store because she's been training for half her life and she never got to just be a kid. Girl can't even pick her candy in peace smh
