Three Weeks: revelations
6. What do you wish people who read your journal knew about you?
Now this one is a pretty interesting question. *thinks* I suppose information I'd want people to have going in, as it were, includes "pieces of my identity that may or may not be a good fit, or that I would wish people to be mindful of".
That includes being a voracious anime/manga fan given to outbursts of both fic and meta, both of which will be pretty concentrated when they happen.
Being a natural introvert (drained rather than energized by company, even if I'm having fun), and therefore given to disappearing sometimes when my available energy is taken up by things other than my journal.
Being a survivor, and thus inclined to incandescent explosions of rage when one of my buttons is stepped on. *thoughtful* I suspect this is also where my occasional weaponization of disclosure comes from; like the days I make a point of informing people I'm multiple just to get a shot of schadenfreude out of their cognitive dissonance.
Being a queer feminist and politically liberal, and therefore having zero patience with people attempting to legislate insularity and xenophobia, or to impose their "I'm doing just fine so the rest of the world must just not be working hard enough/smart enough/elect enough/me enough" views on everyone else.
I suppose I might include having been a chronic patient for too many years, and therefore deeply mistrustful of all doctors and anything they attempt to feed me, be it a drug or a diagnosis. If I've had to deal with a doctor recently that tends to come out, often under the "incandescent explosions of rage" heading. I try not to do that to people without some kind of warning, and it's hard to show the usual cues over the net.
Just for context, I'm a homeowning, cis-gendered woman in her late thirties who has lived in the US midwest all her life, and loves the land and sometimes hates the people, and keeps cats and a spouse.
