“Once upon a time, at the beginning of a new relationship, I was convinced that my partner wasn’t real. Indeed, since they were nice to me, it was an obvious conclusion for me: they were a pure creation of my little head. After years of trauma and self-hate, I couldn’t conceive that someone could just love me in a nice way. So many times, when we were in public spaces, I would try my best to not show that I was having interactions with them. I would hide my mouth when talking to them or make really settle movements towards them.”
