One thing that kinda sucks about being socially anxious in a really liberal online space like cohost is that a lot of people are constantly talking about their many fetishes and it makes me feel like they wouldn't want to be friends with me unless I had sex with them first. Like I look at their posts and think "oh, they probably wouldn't want an asexual friend."
And like, fine, not everybody has to be everything to everyone, and people aren't required to like me, but it feels discouraging, especially around the holidays
