Have you tried asking this before? 💬

Quote from @sustainteaching.bsky.social

“One of my favorite things to ask kids is ‘Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?’ I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think—and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.” —Paul Emerich France, Educator

“Teachers, your students don't love you because of your class decorations, clothes, bitmojis, lessons, etc. It's you. They love you for who you are and how you treat them. Just be you.” —Samuel Vo, Teacher

But I agree that depending too much on AI can kill your creativity. The originality and flow should come from you, and honestly, nothing beats good old pen and paper! 📝

The story should be entirely your own. Getting help with brainstorming, research, grammar, or tone is totally fair in my opinion.

A.I. can be a useful tool for various things. But if you use it to write your stories — I‘m sorry, you’re not a writer.
Same goes for any kind of art. But that’s just my opinion…

You’re not your fav character. You’re not your mutuals’ expectations. You’re a whole, evolving person. And that is enough.🩷

This May is BPD Awareness Month, and it matters that we talk about how mental health plays out in online spaces too. Fandom isn’t therapy. But healing is possible, even here!

You can love a fandom without losing yourself in it. You can admire someone without erasing your own identity. And you can say “no” to anything that doesn’t serve your healing.

It was not my friend's fault. It’s not your fault as well. Your desire for connection makes sense. But it’s okay to pause and ask: Does this space support who I am, or just who I’m pretending to be to feel safe?

Mirae Shula @misslitjones.bsky.social · May 7

The danger? Not everyone in fandom spaces has good intentions. When you're trauma-bonding or idealizing strangers, it’s easier to miss red flags. Some ppl manipulate, ghost, or exploit. N for someone already hurting, that can be crushing. They become victims of cyber harassment

People with BPD crave connection, and fear abandonment. So in fandoms, you might trust too quickly, overshare, or emotionally depend on people you’ve never met offline. That vulnerability is real. My friend suffered for legit 8 years because of this.

If you grew up in an invalidating home, fandom can feel like the family you never had. A world where you’re finally “seen.” But when ur sense of self is already fragile, it’s easy to lose yourself. You might start dissociating from ur own emotions. Fandom self becomes ur default

It’s easy to shape your whole online identity around a fictional world or admired figure. You start speaking like them, dressing like them, even molding your values to match. Sometimes, it feels more real than your actual life. Exactly this happened to my friend, who was in a fandom on X.

Borderline Personality Disorder often comes with an unstable sense of self. You might feel like you don’t really know who you are, so you cling to what feels safe—characters, communities, mutuals. Fandom can become a lifeline.

Let’s talk about something real: how being in a fandom on social media can deeply impact someone with BPD. Dissociation, shaky identity, misplaced trust... it all ties together. A gentle thread for anyone who’s been there.
