That's such a sweet thought about the cake, thank you.
Yeah, it's a really crappy trigger. I hate that I've been like this for so long. My inner child kind of resents the fact that so many people who had trouble with people in person did so well on the early internet while I really, really wanted to and just couldn't. I think maybe I would have learned things about myself earlier too. I created a female character on a muck called Tapestries well before I'd figured out I was actually trans, but I was too scared of people to actually to interact with anyone there.
I'm pretty scared of Discord too, and Mastodon where lots of people seem to be going in this round of migration. I'd like to get better at this. It's one of the things I was hoping the current therapist could help with, until fire trauma took over everything.

I'm still pretty shit at making friends.
