Marketing Monday (on a Tuesday): Save The Sad Clowns!
I am a bit behind, what else is new… So, I’m going to do two posts today. The first one is where I elaborate on the Tiktoks I made yesterday, which are below. It’s basically me distilling as best I can all the shit I’ve written since I started writing and getting triggered AF while I have my period and am still not experiencing what was a normal hell state of crippling depression that came on…

yes yes characters doomed by the narrative always slap BUT what about characters saved by the narrative? characters who have already given up hope and don't know they have a happy ending? characters who believe they are a lost cause, characters who feel irredeemable, characters who think there's nothing left for them, but the narrative does provide a way out? what about the characters who don't expect anything good, who don't even remember how to wish for it anymore, who get the things they need anyway? what about the characters who actively run from being saved getting saved in a way they can't stop or control. what about being saved by the narrative!!!

Hi. I know I shouldn't be wasting your time with this, but I have nowhere else to turn to.
So, I feel emotionally disconnected from people for a while now. There are only two people that can make me feel emotions. My sister, and a friend on Wattpad.
Other than that, no one. My mum or dad, aunt or uncle, any friend I have, no one. They no longer make me feel. I don't get happy, or sad, or angry or anything because of them. Nothing. I'm scared. No one can make me feel. No one.
I don't enjoy spending time with my closest of friends or dear, dear parents.
Am I broken? Is something wrong with my brain? What's even going on?
Do you have any advice or ideas on what this is?
Hey Anon,
You're definitely not wasting my time at all! I appreciate you entrusting me with these worries of yours, and I hope I can do my best to help you out.
Did your family ever make you feel ashamed or guilty for having feelings or showing emotions in the past? Were you ever made fun or or pushed away because you tried being vulnerable with them and they couldn't handle it? Often times we shut down after a bunch of futile attempts to get some sort of emotional validation from our family members, which makes it hard to express emotions like sadness, but we also end up turning off the ability to feel good either. We end up convincing ourselves that we don't deserve to feel anything.
Once you start shutting down your emotions and allowing yourself to express them in front of a particular group of people, it ends up carrying over to other people too, including the ones we would normally feel comfortable expressing them in front, of even when their reactions were better than your family's.
The sad part is, our family members and loved ones who react negatively to your emotions only do so because they don't even know how to process their emotions. It really has nothing to do with you, but they're teaching you how to be like that and it's incredibly unhealthy and unhelpful to mental health. They likely learned it from their parents and that's the only reason why they'd be doing the same for you. They're emotionally immature and don't know how to react when people get emotional around them.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to remind yourself that you are allowed to express your emotions and that the things that make you upset or provoke certain emotions in you are normal and valid. If other people can't handle them, that's on them and not on you. Pushing down or making yourself numb to how you're feeling will only have detrimental effects on you in the long term. You deserve so much better, Anon ❤

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

the most powerful thing i've done is convince my mother that my binder is a "modesty bra" sjfhekdjdjfhjdj i fully have that woman believing that this is a common thing among my classmates who like to dress modestly, which inspired me to follow that trend. i've been telling her this since ~2014 and she still says "i washed your bra for you ^_^" when she washes my binder for me
