• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Even though we know things are very bad and that they won't be alright, atleast what some of us here needed is for someone to show that they genuinely care. Someone to hold us in their arms and say "Hey, it's going to be alright. I am here!". I am sure lots of people here are sweet people irl and would do the same for those that you care about but it feels like there is no one to do that for us. Atleast no one that shows genuine care and affection. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming about a person who holds me and comforts me and it always makes me cry.

I need this so badly. It's hard because I need it from someone who knows and sees me completely. Someone who doesn't want to change me or try to tell me that what I am feeling is wrong. I need a real embrace and real comfort. I just don't think it's in the cards for me anymore.

Personally, this wouldn't do much for me. This world is too far gone for me to be comforted by something like that. Also, when someone tells me "everything will be alright" that just annoys me because I don't agree, it's not my reality. But I can imagine in a utopic world, this would be present and would be one of the countless things that other world would have over this one. However, if a wizard or fairy or angel with a magic wand was telling this to me then maybe I would be comforted because they could do something about my situation. Sadly this most likely doesn't exist.

Yeah I understand. However, for me it's not about whether anything will change, but more about someone showing me that they genuinely care about me.

I've never liked the idea that all everyone needs is tough love and to "pick themselves up by the bootstraps." It's good to be disciplined, but sometimes, unrelenting love, gentleness and patience is what will save a person's life.

I feel the same way. It's werid though for me because my mom comes to check on me in my room, and hugs me but I don't feel better or anything when she does. Cause I blame her and my dad for bringing me here and for everything I went through. Sorry, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or spoiled but I wish I had someone outside of my family that was always there for me, or if one of my siblings could check on me more. I wish i could be there for everyone that's feeling lonely or sad, cause ik how they feel and i could try to help them feel better or laugh. Sorry, for the paragraph, lol you don't have to read everything if you don't want too.

Personally it feels like the love I did feel in my time in the world so far was all terribly conditioned.
I don't think I have the ability to trust anyone to love me enough to actually stay for a while for an unselfish reason such as for the sake of my comfort alone. I always have to do so fluffing much to get practically nothing.
I don't think I ever felt truly comfortable around the presence of anyone, myself included.
So yeah. It wouldn't fix society, it wouldn't fix my life, my body, my mind... But honestly yeah, if something so unselfish truly was done for me back then, then I think that at least I'd have just a little bit more strength to continue.
Lolol, my shameful fantasies concerning other people aren't even about sex or anything, it's literally just about finally feeling comfortable.
I don't even want to be forced into a hug, I don't even want to be forced to cry.
But I want to be able to know that I am safe enough to have such a possibility.
For the world to feel nice even if for a little while, oh, the dream.

I used to feel that way, but after being hurt and used so many times I know there isn't any hope left for me. I hope you find what you are looking for - you deserve it.

I used to believe this but honestly I think you can't rely on others to get better. Other people's love will not fill whatever is missing inside. You still need to do internal work

I wish I could give you a hug. It might not solve your problems but it wouldn't do any harm to give you a long, tight hug either.
