makes for a grandeur illusion that I'm not sure is there or not

Please elaborate? I'm definitely interested in how you came to that. (Being honest. I'm not calling you out :) lol)

If you call me out I'll keep talkin anyway cause I gotta diarrhea mouth yo. But irl I notice the tree thang made of people the girl at the bottom and the open white area at the tree's base and feel like they would all together make a face or somethin but I don't see it anymore. Kind of imagine the drape area being teeth but their not quite. The two black circular outer edges one on top and one on bottom together look like the outline of a head. It still looks like a really large phantom head if I scale it down alot

Whoa! I see what you're seeing. Interesting! It wasn't intentional either!

oh well

I've never had it quite as bad as you describe, but I sympathise with you, Nina. It really is a truly rotten state of affairs, isn't it? *cuddles*

I've only had one really bad social anxiety attack, and that was with a certain internet monkey...

I'm sorry about that. Still, I'm certain he understood completely.

NOPE!

He didn't? Seriously? We are talking about the same person here, right?

Yep! Story for another time...

Oh, alright then. Either way, I'm sorry about it.

Oh wow, this is really really good . . .

bah! i have social anxiety. it sucks. its hard to get jobs because of it, and the meds make me lethargic. its totall balls. but its kinda fun to be strange.

Strangely, having a customer service job has actually helped me become a little more assertive when it comes to interacting with strangers. It's only when I'm in "work mode" though, and even then it's considered bare-minimum customer interaction. >:I

oh, i totally understand that. i have become much more terrified of the public since i quit my job. nothing is ever as bad as it seems once you force yourself to do it or be around it.
