hey. what's your shadow like?

trust me i get why nobody wants to talk about this whole thing. neither do i. but it kinda seems like we ought to compare notes and we can do it anonymous. or you can just use this to vent about how your shadow's an asshole idc

mostly i just keep seeing people say stupid shit and claim it was their shadow and i can't tell if this is just a case of your_experiences_are_not_universal.jpeg (sorry. obviously i don't have the meme on me) or if i'm going crazy. bcuz mine is so quiet i can't even tell it's there usually. so what's the deal???

(before you say i must be a good person who doesn't have much of a dark side: lol. but i'm not some evil psychopath who already acts on their worst impulses either)

and has anyone had any luck getting theirs to fuck off?

[ some of those phrases are nonsense but the core question is an intriguing one, and with the safety of anonymity, it's easy to answer. ]

Quieter, hollow, easily moved by petty emotions, quicker to lash out in anger. Similar enough to my personality that only a few people could tell it was not me.

Finding a soulmate has helped quiet the shadow. It's still there, though. Not completely gone.

Talks too much. I just ignore it.

@kuruko bc she hasn't figured out how to use anonymous yet sob

The blue substance I found near the explorer's bodies made my shadow cringe away. So, I had some.

[ jesus cannot die for this guy's sins, he predates jesus ]

It made my own 'shadow' silent for a while, is what matters.

It's called a 'shadow'?

What I hear assumes other people's voices. Voices of those who aren't here. Also, I haven't really been feeling like myself sometimes, more than making me act oddly.

Mine never really tells me anything new. It just reminds me of what I already know about myself, I guess?
Nothing good, generally.
I don't think it's made me do anything weird yet, though.

Noisy, likes to giggle and laugh, nags a lot, has a penchant for violence. Reminds me of someone I know.
Tried to take over a couple of times, almost killed my friend a couple of times.

To be fair, the friend it almost killed also tried to kill me before, so.

Forgive me if this sounds rude, but you may just be better at avoidance or suppression. Honestly, in this case, it's not really a bad thing...

Have you ever thought of the worst version of yourself? It feels like that, but it thinks it's the best. Sometimes it feels hard to argue.

[killtohero]

ehhh mostly it says the same shit I already know about myself? but it amplifies things that im trying to work on, so that regression is pretty shitty.

and it definitely gets louder everyday.

It sounds like my mother.

( well mentor, but it more or less comes to the same thing. who better to give voice to all of his doubt? )

I ignore it, mostly.

Have you or anyone else had experiences where your shadow took advantage of a particular situation?

Manipulated someone? Overstepped a boundary, with someone?
