  • Speaking as someone with recurrent severe depression, my closest friends are the ones who harass me with their love. That said, I would never want someone to try to reach me through my family. Her situation might be different.

    Depression is very isolating, it can make you feel unworthy of being around people because you can’t be fun, and you get anxious about making “mistakes.”

    My favorite people are the ones who randomly show up, drag me out, ask me for help with something (introvert cheat code,) and buy me games without asking so we can play together.

    They use children’s welfare as a thin veil to promote censorship, abstinence, purity culture and anti-privacy legislation. They publicly support Trump, anti-immigration policies and increased digital surveillance. They petition against liberal and sex-positive media, even sex education.

    Edit: Margaret Mead has some interesting writing and studies on how children raised in sex-positive environments are less likely to develop anxiety and paraphelias as adults.
