Even Women Shouldn’t Comment on Women’s Sex Appeal
“Almost as soon as I hit send, I regretted it.”
I hate making mistakes.
Whenever mistakes are made, I have such an intense visceral reaction of the most pure self-hatred you can imagine. I’m aware of the problem, it is something I’m actively working on, but it still sucks.
Especially when that mistake was something I perceived as being nice.
With Apologies to “Tom”
One of my favorite communities has got to be the co-working channels on Twitch. Body doubling makes getting my work done so much easier. Plus, writing is lonely work, so it’s nice to have coworkers on my screen, some of whom are also writing.
I had a harmless little “chat crush” on one of the more active talkers on one such channel. Their unceasing puns and thoughtful nature brought me so much joy. Then the audience was given the option of going on cam, and I saw this person’s face for the first time. As soon as I saw how cute they were I went full-fledged creeper on them.
On a particularly hyper-active day, feeling light and carefree, I made a completely inappropriate remark to this person of a flirtatious nature. It doesn’t bear repeating. Suffice to say it was lewd and ostentatious.
