although i do make everything more dysfunctional than it was already @ - I didn't notice, not at all XD
my usual method is "Wow, so there's something slightly messed up (or really messed up) as a quick joke? It would be a shaaame if that was, oh I don't know... played seriously instead of for comedy!"

I find it hilarious through that all the other comics start with "hi thanks for reading my comic" and then there's me and my giant disclaimer

Honestly I don't care either. It's cartoon cats so it doesn't have an effect on me. Then again the Commander scene in Don Giovanni didn't scare me at all so who knows.

Fiction honestly doesn't scare me now. Physical things and situations definitely can, but it's usually more of a stress-fear than a horror-fear

As a writer I've become immune to any feeling in fiction and just have complete and utter apathy. But in reality I tend to be a very jumpy person rip

I just get stressed/scared very easily. Loud noises? Stress. (Although that's because in a crowd of loud noises I can't distinguish them from one another which basically results in some kind of bizarre deafness). Anything related to grades? Stress. Anyone else feeling stress? Stress. It gets kind of tiring after a while

Gotta rest once in awhile.
I get social anxiety, but it's manageable. It's a lot better now that I'm older and more confident.

Yeah, I've gotten used to it though, I've always had anxiety like it I have very strange tolerance for social gatherings. Lots of people? No. 10-15 people are okay. And I always prefer people I know than strangers (which I tend to feel very uncomfortable around).

I don't like being around people because I'm an introvert XD Strangers make me feel uncomfortable because I have to force conversation, lol. But my social anxiety causes me to feel panicked if I feel like I'm going to disappoint someone, or if I have to meet someone important.

I have a burning fear of disappointment- it's to the point where I actively avoid getting help or seeking out others because I'm so afraid I'll just disappoint them. It makes me extremely nervous all the time of doing even simple tasks, and when I do manage to disappoint someone I get so panicked and afraid it feels as if I'm imploding on myself. Like most of my fears, I've managed to thread it into Ensemble (hence why Tamino and Pamina disappoint pretty much everyone over the course of the story lmao), but still. It's a paralyzing kind of fear.

Remembering that people are generally nice about it makes it easier. Take today, for instance. I was already late for my class, but I was feeling really sick and tired. I have a history of fainting, and I had an hour of travel time. So, against the fear, I texted my teacher and told him I couldn't make it. He told me he hopes I feel better and he'll see me next week. My anxiety tries to tell me that he would get mad and disappointed, but he didn't.

I tend to have strange "damned if I do damned if I don't" kind of thing. I'm extremely afraid to tell bad news even if it's not about myself, but then if I don't tell it things will also go badly. Either way everything's screwed. I just try to work my fears into my stories- it's a strange kind of retribution, I guess, and a catharsis to see my characters conquer what I ultimately cannot.

I used to write stories to help me feel better about myself, because everyone has that insecure phase. It took me a long time to grow out of that, and I now have writings to look back on to see how far I've come
