@violet_rose@freak.university Is it that they don't know how to, or are they afraid to? I know how to interact with kids, before I got my anxiety complex I was still a map so that's not why I have trouble interacting now, it's that any interaction is perceived by others as predatory, or at least that's the worry. I would love to go hang out with kids, help them, teach them, keep them safe, but I have this anxiety that has turned into full blown paranoia and panic attacks. I literally ignore kids now because I'm terrified, and I hate it. I don't want to live like this.
