I DON'T have a huge trans pool of mutuals, and that's to my own detriment. I value everyone, and wish I was a brisk thought generator that produced more universally accessible ideas.

It's ok to do whatever will bring you joy later in the retelling, even if it's hell today.
In my real life, I just don't truly have a huge pool of friends. (not shocking, I know) Which is mainly about my lack of time management, but also that I'm constantly over analyzing how I might be causing offense which just presents as slightly shady.
