plurality, negative
on another note what do you do when you feel like you can't talk about plurality with anybody you are close with no matter how supportive they might be because you feel embarrassed or afraid of their reaction
re: plurality, negative
@mavica_again idk if you looking for shared experience here, but I waited for a really good mental health day, crossed my fingers and just blurted it out. To my closest person. And then it got easier with every new person. That first time was super scary. I've met other people who aren't singular now, makes you feel less alone. That first time felt like hell but it only lasted for a little bit and relieved a lot of stress.

@mavica_again ah, I see. Idk if this would help but I've had success with writing down like an overview\outline of what I want to talk about and having it either to read mid convo or right before. Helps me feel less embarrassed or less like I'm making something up. Its been good for having more in depth convos

@budsofstone that's a good tip!
re: plurality, negative
@mavica_again anyway I wish you the best and hope you can over come this hurdle. I'm sorry the world has to be cruel and train us everything different is shameful.
re: plurality, negative
@budsofstone oh yeah nah our SOs know about our plurality (i mean we have a sys doc on this bio) it's just that talking about it past that feels daunting
