The 2am thread

NTA, I have had a lot of very similar anxieties to yours. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot in the way of applicable advice; what happened in my case is that I qualified for disability aid and now I have actual income. It's not a huge amount of money, but my expenses are low so I can afford to do things like toss gifts around every once in a while.

You got a gift from me because you are a person I enjoy talking to and generally doing things with. I didn't think anything particularly odd about your absence because other people have had similar ones.

I've even felt a little withdrawn at times myself. Usually this happens because I'm playing a game and getting really involved in playing it, but I make the mistake of not talking to anyone about it.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this. Fortunately, this is the 2 AM thread so I don't have to be all that coherent.

NTA, you can feel free to talk to me any time. You can even feel free to start a conversation just stop talking if you don't know what else to say, because that's a thing with me too. I don't know if that's helpful, but I'm extending the offer for whatever it's worth.

It would probably be more in the spirit of this thread if I made these as multiple posts, but I guess that's not really how I do things.

(also, I got a lot of appreciative words from people after the gifting, and let me just say I'm glad for them. I wasn't expecting anything in return at all, but I got some kind words and even a couple of games from people afterwards. I'm really glad to know you all.)
