Dyscalculia
It was a huge relief to know that my shortcoming wasn’t something I was fully be responsible for.
Scoliosis
There’s so much more that comes with scoliosis than physical pain, the emotional pain that comes with it is never talked out.
Emetophobia
It isn’t just a little fear. It’s a phobia and there is a huge difference. This phobia can take over your life and it isn’t fun.
Only Child
I can feel lonely, but I never felt the need of a sibling to fill in that role
Dyscalculia
It felt like I was stupid and dreaded going to school and experienced a lot of anxiety
Dermatillomania
I keep trying to scrape away the imperfections, but it’s never enough, something always remains. So I can’t stop.
Introverts
I like extroverts and usually count on them to break the ice between us. But some of them really need to understand that we introverts need to have alone time to feel good.
Barefooters
Take your time and do your research. You can’t go barefoot in a day, but the work is very well worth it.
Dermatillomania
I scan my body, mainly my face subconsciously looking for bumps to pick. Major low self esteem and guilt after picking.
Emetophobia
I miss out on a lot of things because I’m afraid to go more than 20 minutes from my home. I feel too sick to go out and do things with my SO. I’ve also ruined my teeth because one of my coping mechanisms is ginger candy
Barefooters
I got exposed to some ideas that challenged my own bias against being barefoot. I researched it further and saw that there were benefits.
Barefooters
I think most barefooters would agree that the best reaction is no reaction.
Introverts
My view on extroverts is that some are okay but it’s the small percentage that doesn’t know how to act around other people that aren’t extroverted, and it’s a shame because they might be nice people. They just need to know how to interact properly.
Emetophobia
My friend actually told me last night that no one tells me if they don’t feel well because that means that they would end up having to take care of me. It hit me hard, not in a good way but i mean she’s not wrong.
Barefooters
I like feeling the dirt on my feet when I hike
Barefooters
I just laugh off any bad reaction and wriggle some dirty toes at them
Barefooters
It has so many benefits, don’t knock it til you try it
Dyscalculia
I’ve basically formed my life to make it so I don’t have to do arithmetic, and my therapist helps me with my money saving goals
Barefooters
Better health, stronger libido, more confidence.
Dyscalculia
I dropped out of high school due to my issues with math, didn’t know I had it until I was an adult. I would have extreme anxiety during math tests and even cry.
Barefooters
I think the rise in people with a foot fetish is directly related to the decline in people going barefoot. People sexualize the parts of the body that are usually covered.
Dermatillomania
I skipped a homecoming dance once cause I didn’t want anyone to see my arms
Barefooters
I wish that it was seen as being as normal / acceptable as wearing flip flops etc.
Dermatillomania
Do not draw attention to wounds or scarring.
Dyscalculia
I ended up getting anxiety from the stress of the looming math test that I know im going to fail.
Barefooters
I wish it were normal and accepted. And that people wouldn’t comment on it at all even though I enjoy it.
Barefooters
I haven’t had any pain in my knees or hips since I started, my posture is better and I pay more attention to where I’m walking.
Fictosexual
,
LGBTQIA+
I know how alien it looks to others. But ten years don’t lie, do they?
Autism
Executive dysfunction can be a bear to deal with at times. Other than that, biggest things I’m affected by are social.
Barefooters
I do wish people wouldn’t be so weirded out and judgemental.
Barefooters
It’s a personal choice
Barefooters
I wash my feet and keep them clean and my feet stink less than if they were in shoes.
Vitiligo
“What the fuck is that patch?”
Satanism
I don’t really mind the tropes of “holywood Satanism” as long as people realize its fake and we don’t actually sacrifice children
Only Child
I try to compensate with friends and cousins. I think I’m quicker to think of friends as chosen family than people with siblings are.
Dermatillomania
It was a relief to learn that I was not alone and that I was not a monster for picking at my skin.
Countries
,
France
Don’t only visit Paris
Barefooters
It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I would encourage people to just try it out. You don’t have to commit 100% and if you don’t like it you can still stick to shoes.
Dermatillomania
Shaming them or making fun of them does not help, it just makes them sneakier
Only Child
I can’t relate to the stereotypes about being spoiled, bossy or self-absorbed, they just don’t apply to me.
Asexual
,
LGBTQIA+
I’m a cishet guy. Asexual men are not discussed enough as a group. Growing up, I felt an immense amount of pressure to try and fit in with the “Sex-obsessed” man.
Dermatillomania
It impacted me emotionally and in my self image to the point I could not wear certain styles of clothing anymore.
Barefooters
It’s healthier, it’s better for you in the long term and also better for the people around you. Also it will save u a lot of money for shoes and socks.
Dermatillomania
I wish I could, you know, not have my skin be raw and painful all the time and not go through band-aids like a paper shredder.
Countries
,
Malta
As a foreigner, come fresh and with as much patience as you can
Introverts
I’d much rather text. I need more than a few seconds to formulate my thoughts cohesively.
Dermatillomania
It can almost be like an addiction, so think of someone getting sober and how hard that is, for me that recovery is very similar to those struggling with any other addiction.
Dermatillomania
“Just stop” is something I’ve heard over and over. It’s definitely taken a toll on me by making it harder to open up to people or to even trust myself.
Barefooters
It’s a personal choice just like wearing a hat or not; wearing long pants or shorts; wearing a hoodie or a tank-top. Some people think bare feet look unpleasant, but that could be said about a lot of things.
Only Child
I’ve been more successful because I have been able to choose my own path without comparison.
