Hi Silvermoon, it's always good to see another Luna fan. I'm not entirely sure why I connect so well with Luna myself, maybe I kinda feel overshadowed by others in my family like she felt, she deserved more screen time than she got for sure.
I suffer from pretty severe anxiety too. I can barely interact with people beyond basic stuff (buying things, saying hello), I have no advice to give you since I can't even fix my own issues but I just want to say I can relate to it. For me it goes hand-in-hand with the depression too and they feed off each other.
Honestly I can't imagine dating (let alone marrying) someone who doesn't share my love of ponies. It is just too important to me.
Although this might be one of the many reasons I've never even been on a date. I can barely even talk to girls, I don't form relationships with them, it's just hopeless.
Despite my Italian heritage I just have never developed much love for seafood. My exceptions are fried calamari, fish and chips (though I have no idea what sort of fish that uses) and swordfish. Though it's been ages since I've eaten swordfish because I've heard it was endangered. Although apparently it's not *that* endangered?
I'll never understand how real Italians like fish soup and stuff like that, it seems nasty to me.
Wouldn't mind trying baked clams again though.
I have an absolute ton of social anxiety but I would never call myself an empath. Maybe when I was younger I used to care more about the feelings of others than I do now but now I feel like I have to only look after myself since nobody else will ever do that for me.
I always thought she looked weird and kinda creepy, though all of the foals are kinda creepy looking in the show for some reason. And everyone in the show does the worst possible job of watching her and keeping her from messing things up. They're kinda clueless sometimes.
Some days I feel like I've overcome most of it but other days I just feel so removed from everyone else in the world. I just freeze up trying to talk to people, I can never think of what to say.
I am pretty autistic unfortunately. Just suck at handling social situations or talking to people. Haven't really managed to improve much either. It's depressing.
