>i nevet see the signs. they seem amazing at it.
you worry me then, anon
despite me being dense as fuck, i can tell manipulation very easily after being exposed to it so much during my teens and childhood, so for better or worse... yeah
unfortunately no easy way to tell, you gotta see it happen, either with you or with someone else, over and over until you learn the patterns
but usually ask yourself why someone is doing what they're doing, why they're saying what they're saying, what they gain out of it, etc.
should keep you on your toes
>it wont happen to me tho cause i simply refuse to let it.
indeed, you refuse to age badly, true
yeah i agree, you're gonna age amazingly well and become even more beautiful as time goes by, glad we both think the same :^)
>my heart couldn't take the hit if something bad happened, so id rather preserve myself
yeah... i thought that may be the case
you'd be surprised what we can live with, anon
as much as i don't want harm coming your way, if we refuse to get hurt out there experiencing things, we hurt ourselves by shutting the world out
i've been trying to change in that regard as of late, it's a work in progress but it's... going
you can still experiment, just test the waters before you dive deeper, ok? but if not, i won't try to persuade you, i mean i'd do the same (and have been for all this time)
>conversations that feel repetitive, soulless, or whatever.
ah those kinds, yeah i mean if they don't lead to anything meaningful then it's a bust
but usually they exist just to break the ice
>the social consequences hurt.
lol, i'm sorry, i forget not everyone is a loner like me
>i cant deal with that shit, not expressing my opinions is easier
maybe it's not so bad if the people you talk to are open-minded, you know? again, test the waters
if anything just agree to disagree and drop it there, leave if they keep going
anyway, i have to sleep now
thank you for talking to me today, i appreciate you
have a hug
