    I have been starting to develop a certain thinking. Anything I create will be cringe because I'm a teenager and (haha!) teenagers are "cringe" and by cringe I mean regretting something I say years later... it's probably why I'm so scared to touch my creations, I don't know.

    I just love talking and I don't have many people to talk to in my day to day life... nor (despite my massage of communication is everything) talk even to my parents much, and if I do it's mostly about general stuff and things we agree on (not that really is anything we disagree on just I don't speak about how I'm feeling on a day to day personal level.. I don't really ever do that) The only emotions I express are impatience, sarcasm, joy, sadness, anger the most basic stuff. The ones I don't are... well personal. Is this a flaw on my part? Should I not want validation on every thought that pops on my head? But I want that. I want to rant and hear the replies and comments... does the problem stem from that my parent's are both introverts? Is the extrovert-introvert personality traits even reliable?! Let's say for simplicity's sake, yes.

    Another thing maybe it's because I recover from emotions so fast I tend to remember my story ideas from when I had that emotion as "oh, I don't have that emotion anymore so I won't be able to create an authentic story of those emotions." sooo... do I have a problem? Why do I crave feedback? Is it from my time when I used AI?

    Coming from someone who is now almost 22 who was on this website at 17. It’s not wrong to seek validation for the things you write, and this website is (or at least was from my memory) great for that. Many supportive people are on here. Introvert and extrovert do typically work, but it’s more of a slider than one or the other, and you’ll find your people. I truly hope you find them. I don’t regret what I wrote on here years later, I’m sure you won’t :)
