Sometimes people come to me with "I was afraid of talking to you because you are really intimidating" I'll just be like: "???" Boi, I'm the quiet kid in the classroom I'm not intimidating, I'm the one intimidated lmao

Anyone realize you can say “have a great day” without a problem, but you can’t say “enjoy the next 24 hours” without sounding vaguely threatening

I feel like depression made me a tougher person. I'm often aggressive, I spend a lot of time by myself, I'm highly critical, self-destructive and impulsive.
I know that people are probably not that intimidated by me since I still have some energy and will to pretend to be a kinder and better person for others, acting like I think I would years ago.
But those who live with me have a harder time tolerating my behaviour. I can't always control my outbursts and negative thinking so it impacts them.
And I hate it, but I also allow it to happen when I'm really low because I'm the kind of person to push everyone away in order to let myself acknowledge the pain and/or push it deeper.

I feel critical or too honest sometimes, which I feel makes people think I don’t care, so I may be intimidating 🤷🏽‍♀️
