If you do, feel free to elaborate on the weird feeling. Self-consciousness? Feeling out of place? Surreal? Dysphoric? Or maybe it's something vague that you can't place. etc.

#no it doesn't occur to me. i have other reasons to be self conscious

I'm not going to get into hp discourse with this rando but not only do I not think this is good read on hp, but also this is a bananas way to engage with fantasy fiction. and I know hp is a hot button issue for morons these days so they're not really interested in engaging with it in good faith, but I've also see other "hot takes" about other fantasy books that basically does come down to, like, the very premise of the world that needs to exist in this book for this story to happen is a non-starter.....which in that case you don't like fantasy. is it impossible to write a secret wizarding society in our modern world and for it to be good or what. dragons aren't real either or is that news. is allegory pointless 100% of the time or like what's the deal

I was soo pathetically obsessed with my own trauma too. For a while after I switched schools, the only way I knew how to make friends out of new acquaintances was by presenting my entire sob story to them in monologue form like an anime character; partly b/c I needed an outlet (never told my family the full extent of it), and partly b/c I wanted to see if they'd side with me and give me a crumb of validation. I can only assume they felt like they were witnessing some deranged soliloquy. On the other hand, I'm friends with some of those people to this day, so I guess it pays to let them know what they're in for from day one lmfao

#im even on good terms with some of my former bullies which is more than i ever expected #/p

no piece of teen media has ever accurately depicted the quiet psychological warfare of bullying. bullies on TV are always dumb brutes and not the evil geniuses of emotional manipulation that they are in real life. being given a wedgie and having your lunch money stolen is nothing in comparison to a classmate quietly creating a taboo against speaking to you that they intend to enforce against all the other kids. it’s nothing like continuous cutting comments from people you thought were being nice to you. that way that the work of one kid can make you feel like every person on earth silently hates you and that you are dirty, disgusting, worthless, creepy and useless. that you can have friends but many of them will not speak to you at school for fear of the social consequences on their end. how that damage lasts in any social setting for the rest of your life

#yeah the taboos against speaking to a particular kid are so real and so vicious #literally moved schools to escape it
