...See more Hey there everyone 👋 My name is Violet. I'm 22 years old, and trying to navigate my mental health issues as well as my issues with self esteem and security. I often have disproportionate reactions to hurt or rejection. It's linked to the fact that I don't feel like I have much of a support system. I'd like to hopefully build a community here. I've always been a good listener. That's therapeutic for me to. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you. Don't hesitate to leave me a message.

...See more Hello guys! ... Recently I noticed that I'm too scare to compliment something or someone, I feel like what if they take it in wrong way , or if they just ignore my message But I think i should compliment without thinking much , cause I'll be happy if they like it and if they ignore that's not matter to me cause I'm just being myself. I know it's a little thing but these Little things really matter for me . And will love to hear your perspective, what's your opinion??
