#but like. I'd given zero indication I was a safe person to confide mental disorders in

[bookwyrminspiration]

the trend of people being really open with information one should probably be more hesitant to share is also present in real life, which is terrifying. I met a kid the other day, 13, who started casually talking about various mental disorders and diagnoses he'd received after knowing me for less than an hour. with no prior mention or discussion to indicate my thoughts, because we'd been talking about other things. because we'd just met. I mean them no harm, but like, he is putting a lot of faith in me without further verifying my intentions. so please not only be careful with what you share online but what you share in person as well because you don't know who is safe

#i don't know what to tag this #i will give him that he had verified me as a fellow supportive queer person #and so we talked about things related to that first #because I made a specific point to complement the pride flags made of beads on his shoelaces #and I was wearing a couple pride things myself #but like. I'd given zero indication I was a safe person to confide mental disorders in #like. I believe I am and try to be a supportive person #we just don't know each other well enough for him to know that yet #the conversation hadn't gone there #we'd literally just met like 40 minutes ago #and they brought it up just so casually #like. !!! you do not know if you can trust me!!! #please sir be careful!! #i think his reasoning was that oh queer person? lot of queer people are mentally ill/aren't neutrotypical #ur probably alright #and like. he was correct. but that is not good logic to base your safety on!! #terrifying #i just sat there like O_O for a second like did you really. you just went there without safety checks? the world is dangerous my dude #we're in public. you don't know me #ough
