Working through emotions by writing, feel free to ignore this.

I uh, write to cope, writing helps gets my thoughts in order, calms me down, usually it's just a PM to Sanguine or something but...

I posted a thread, I wanted to try and understand sex appeal and sexual attraction as seen in western culture from the perspective of normal people, how to portray something so ingrained in our society as respectfully as possible in order to have a baseline of this is normal in order to highlight the nuances of being a demisexual in that society...

A well-known troll was quick to invaldate me and quite a few people didn't understand the difference between demisexuality and the norm despite my attempts to explain. Some were nice about it and I was overjoyed to share what I know.

One person still didn't get it, the "But that's normal for relationships" argument being their defense.

Yes I get it welcome to the internet, people suck, but I feel... Meek, cowed, like asking for help, trying to understand, wanting to spread awareness and educate others through fiction was the wrong thing to do.

Like it was a bad thing to do, that I should've kept my mouth shut and not mustered up the courage to ask... I'm still trying to figure out a way to portray it properly, in Welcome to Distopia and Misty Morals because being able to understand the differences, the little things in comparison to the norm is wonderful and maybe I can share that with others, have people who aren't Ace or Demi learn something new and write something other Demi's can relate to, can look at and go "That's me!" in the same way I did when I first learned the term.

I don't like getting this upset, it shouldn't bother me, but it does and I hate it and don't know what to do with myself.

And now I'm kicking myself because I was going to write today... I want to but I am nowhere near a good headspace to do so.
