• 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.

I know this is a place for our pain. But I am curious. Who are you when you put that aside. Describe yourself apart from your labels and pain.

A kindhearted smart human that attracts other people through passion and enjoyment allone. A person that can see the beauty in almost everything.
At least that's what others reported at some point.

This sounds absolutely disgusting. I'm not gonna say those words ever again.

Hard question to answer. If I just start listing qualities it'll read like a spec list, and I don't really know what other people think of me. Also really hard not to say something that doesn't go into labels and pain. I've already typed a few things and had to delete them because they're contradictory.

This probably isn't supposed to be taken that seriously. I guess that's a decent attribute to settle on: I'm someone who - if you ask them a question - is going to think about it a lot. Pensive. Whether it's overthinking or not I'll leave up to the crowd. If anyone wants to roast me that would be helpful too.

This is one of the issues that set off a lot of my awareness and questioning and confusion.

Literally no clue.

If ever in a welcoming environment where you are encouraged to 'be yourself' then I feel like there's something I should be doing specific/different. I thought I was bumbling along OK until the world keeps saying to be proud of who you are and express who/what you want to be etc etc

A person who finds it hard to trust virtually anyone and anything. Scared of people and events. Likes various things but has interests in things they grew up with and things they couldn't do. Will apologize and own up to mistakes even when they didn't need to apparently.

An Asian college dropout working in retail, playing rare Japanese arcade rhythm games to cope. Having a massive need of emotional support while emotionally supporting others, for I hope my suffering can be converted into hope for those who want it.

Also chronically touch starved.

I'm nothing without pain. I will never be anything besides a purveyor and a receptacle of pain. My body and soul are nothing but a conversion unit; pain unto myself, then unto others. I can't in good conscience ascribe any positive or neutral labels to myself, as I feel that any self-love would be an act of egotism in the face of all the pain I've caused. There is very little which separates me from an inanimate object.

"There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some
kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an
entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold
gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you
and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably
comparable: I simply am not there."
Pardon me for quoting American Psycho, but I just think this part describes it very well.

I've recently thought a lot about the different singular ephitets that as a whole form what's supposed to be me. We have the basics, like: 31 years old, 162 centimeters, 55ish kilograms, non-binary, so Swedish it's depressing. Then we have the every day quirks, like: cat owner and lover, music enthusiast, nerd, artist, hobby cook, collector of vinyl records, antique glass and vintage porcelain figures. Then, if we dig a little deeper we get: socialist, free-thinker, altruistic misanthropist, puer aeternus, quite pretentious yet trash, perfectionist, caregiver and creative.

But most often I'm just a mess.

You are just smarter that others, I guess.

I relate....

That saddens me but I felt the same in the past.

The question of "who am I" has tortured me ever since I was a teenager and never went away. I m a shroud, an empty body, a ghost. There is no "me". When I learned I have a dissociative identity disoreder.... well then at least I started to understand a little bit why I am nothing and no one.
It s a very painful topic for me.....

Nothing really. All I ever am is somebody who wants death beyond anything else and also somebody who does things because of compulsion, not because I want to. Aside from that, there is nothing else about me. I don't say this to self loathe or to be hyperbolic... trust me when I say that there truly is nothing to me without my pain and labels

I think part of me was shaped from the pain I endured in life. I'm much different than who I was more than a decade ago.

I guess the things that didn't change were my need to be creative, love of animals, sense of humour, being philanthropic, being nervous and prone to stress, shy, sensitive.
