Thanks, but I actually did talk to my mom about it and we've got it covered.

hhhHHHHHHH so my friend showed me my other friend's writing and it's so good like actually–so good the first story almost made me cry and the second came close as well, and they write poetry. So I love their writing. And it's amazing. And I love it. And tbh it's kind of upsetting for me, because like–I'm supposed to be the one good at writing. I've been writing for what–since second grade? And I didn't even know they wrote until now and they definitely didn't write back when I kept in touch with them and I guess I just think it's not fair not fair not fair that writing is supposed to be my thing but they're so much better than me at it. I'm jealous :(

This is super late and I don't know if you'll even see this, but I do have a bit of advice for you. So first of all, I know what you're feeling. I'm a writer too, and a lot of my friends are as well, and although it's cool to have friends with similar interests, it can also be really hard when they outshine you. This goes for not just writing, but pretty much anything. So, although this won't help, what you're feeling is normal, and you're not alone.

Second, the part that should actually make you feel better. I think you are an insanely awesome and creative writer. I've been in your CB tournament and one of your solo writes/ski lodges, and read more of them. They are so quirky and creative yet serious at the same time, and I  honestly idolize your style, as well as your creatively in general. Also, judging things in terms of how much they make you cry is not the only thing to base goodness off. I don't think anything I've read from you has made me cry — but you have made me laugh, and sometimes my brain has exploded from your brilliance, so that's something.

Plus, you are your own worst critic. Whenever I read something I've written, I usually hate it. When I read something from one of my friends (or, for example, other teenage geniuses like the Averno team or some of the people on here, including you) I feel horribly inadequate. But remember that you are not inadequate. You are really good.

And if that still isn't enough, and you are 100% sure that you are still awful and your friend is awesome, remember that people grow at different paces, and the vast amount of child prodigies do not grow up to be adult geniuses.

The End

I really, really, like basketball, but I suck at it. Like, really, really, suck. I can´t shoot right, dribble well or pass correctly. And my friend is super good at it; she can make 3 pointers easy. Sigh self-insecurity

I could probably write a book called "How to fall head over heels for a guy you barely know and then start quesioning your orientation and your life choices and find your self tumbling into an inescapable void of panic and eventually give up on it and then have a heart to heart with him where he confesses he's bi and end up twice as confused as before."

If you like book titles that are longer than the actual book, the Chatterbox is right for you.

Me neither! He said he was bi, completely unprompted. 

I have never been more confused in my life.

Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.

*proceeds to chant tell him until you do*

My voice will be in your head until you tell him.

And tell us what happens!

guys we have a pandemic. 

I haven't seen him for months.

And i've never had a boyfriend,girlfriend,or other before. (unless you count that weird girl who chased me around in the first grade.) 

So if you think i'm gonna burst into his house in the middle of a pandemic and confess my undying love for him you're crazier than rodney.

no one likes being crazier than rodney.

I do!

you are rodney.

Oh. That really sucks, I'm assuming you can't talk to him online then...I haven't seen my crush irl in a year, and haven't been in contact with them since last June, which is crazy considering I STILL think about them. Sometimes. Idk, I guess I should forget about it since there's like a 0.0001% chance I'll ever see them again :(

Why do these posts always become about myself? Sorry. Well, when you can, TELL HIM.
