Ms. Rachel Andry (Isn't Real)everyone's like "you can reach out to friends when you really need support" but I'm still stuck on the part where I have literally zero idea how to pop into someone's DMs with "my brain is being mean to me right now, can you give me just a bit of reassurance that you're not mad at me/hate my guts/talking shit about me behind my back?" without sounding like a needy manipulative bitch
Taking Concerta'd Action@YKantRachelRead yeah this so much
Navi 
@YKantRachelRead the secret to that is it doesn't matter that you're a needy bitch, surround yourself with friends that will allow you to be a needy bitch sometimes
@navi you're probably right 
I'm still trying to extricate myself from the mindset of "seeking emotional support from my friends is selfish and manipulative," so I genuinely have no idea who would even let me be a little needly lol

HeralayanSalty@HeralayanSalty @vantiss @shitpostalotl thank you all ♥️ I feel obligated to say that this was a request for advice rather than support - and also I appreciate your saying so a lot
@YKantRachelRead @HeralayanSalty @shitpostalotl
my advice is, so long as it's not like..a constant thing you do all the time, occasionally asking a friend "hey I'm having a pretty rough brain day, are you willing to [tell me some things you like about me / offer me a bit of reassurance]?" is totally okay

The Witch of Crow Briar@YKantRachelRead you can pop into my DMs with literally that, or anything else that describes what you’re feeling, and I will always be happy to see you. You are *not* whiny or manipulative, your needs matter, and so do you ❤️
