      I don’t have to ask. I just assume whoever I’m talking to hates me.

        *I* do not, and if there’s one, then surely there’s more like me? :-P

        Moreover, I think it’s impressive that you have dedicated so much of your efforts to improving people’s experiences here on the Fediverse. Even if people disagree with you on some point - which for myself I am aware of nothing but even if there were - that would still be true. You probably don’t get thanked often, so I offer it, and I hope that you will accept.

        But also, I hope that you find a way to show kindness to yourself too:-). Our families may have royally fucked us up for life, but we can do different, for ourselves! Or at least, I very much (desperately) hope that can be true.

          I try to show kindness through my volunteer work, although I’ve done less of it in the past year since my illness leave me with very little energy and I have to use that to take care of my daughter.

          Also, thank you!

            Indeed, I find that if we don’t take care of ourselves, we become a burden to others and can’t help anyone, so that’s so important to remember (that if we want to help “others”, it has to start with ourselves).
