Hi Morgan, I just want to say thank you for sharing your story about making friends in the last few posts, they really resonated with me. For context it took me so long to even start speaking to my new uni classmates (who are my friends now) last year, let alone actually start going out with them - and in general I've always struggled a lot with making friends. Like, even here on Tumblr I'm so scared to interact with everyone it's almost comical lmao, I think it's just kind of how I am but it still makes things hard (I am working on it tho lol).

Anyways back on topic - I personally have been really miserable in the past two years of university but in hindsight I agree with what you said about being patient and (may I add) taking things step by step because it's exactly how things worked out for me too! It's hard and I could never judge someone who struggles with that because not only I still struggle with it myself, but it also took me years to get barely out of my shell (just in uni .. we're not considering hs and middle school for my own sanity LMAO). It's important to work on it but also not to criticize ourselves so harshly .. we truly don't deserve it. I also know what it's like to be judged especially by family (that kind of judgement can truly be ruthless 😭) when you have this kind of inclination (?) - and in my experience people who have it, myself included, are aware of it to some degree .. so, obvious deduction, the hurtful words truly serve no purpose ... But I'm glad you've met new people, and I really really hope the anon from before meets wonderful people on their journey too :)) !!

P.s. I saw your post about the plagiarism and I'm so sorry for what happened. If I can, I want to say you aren't a "small and unpopular blog" tho - you are a celebrity to me. like, this blog has a million followers and your fics are critically acclaimed to me. Anyways as always please ignore this silly ask if you don't wish to respond and sorry for mentioning my own personal stuff if it was too much! It's early for me so my brain still isn't functioning properly but I wanted to say this before getting involved with the day. I hope you have a good day/night :)!

hi sam 😭😭😭😭 this is so sweet of you to send in. i completely agree with you!!!! i think people do have a tendency to judge themselves harshly and i think we could all afford ourselves a little kindness and patience and love. popular people/people with a lot of friends always underestimate how difficult it is making friends 😭😭😭 it's so hard 😭 but it's worth it i promise it's sooo worth it

#as someone who is also deathly afraid of interacting with others i understand!!! #im so happy things are better for you now friend!!! #also thank u for ur kind words!!!! i realize now that i may have been unnecessarily derogatory by calling myself unpopular but i meant #it more in terms of popular/big vs unpopular/small than oh nobody likes me #but yes!! i hope u have an amazingggg day sam giving u a kiss <3 #atenizein
