I already know I would've simply been a pervert. Candle, olive oil, scarf, hair brush, perfume. One could have oiled her up, dressed her scantily. Made her extra beautiful. And then taken some unique pictures with the polaroid camera.
One could have even treated her wounds with the bandages.
I see every social interaction this way - as a fight between attackers and protectors. And I must be a protector, because I have this comforting ability and if people are going to trust me and believe in me then I have to be worthy of what they feel.
and I've talked to therapists and they've helped my like confidence in my ability to be mentally well but never given me a compelling reason to stop blurting out my most wild and raw thoughts.
@Franzia@CaptFeather these are things you say to your therapist, so you can talk these thoughts out and sort out what's positive, and what's negative, and why you feel this way. And learning to identify the things you might say that make people around you uncomfortable or worse
Because you've seen here you're making people uncomfortable at best
Trust me. I rarely say the things that go through my head. Not like this, I couldn't witness it. There are just things one shouldn't say out loud
You're ELI5 but I already said I had success in therapy.
identify the things you might say that make people around you uncomfortable
therapy didnt teach me social skills or masking. As far as I have been told, masking is worse for my mental health.

I literally said I would like take care of this artist rather than harm her. And then I said I have to be protective because people frequently trust me.
Listen I know I sound a bit crazy but see past the aesthetics at the real arguments I am making.
@Franzia okay, let's ELI5. one of the things you should get ot of therapy is social skills. Specifically filters. I never said masking. Masking is not acknowledging how you feel, it's fake till you make it, as they say. Filters is not saying every thing that goes thru your head out loud. Not filtering is nearly as bad.
Here, you want to be a participant. Watch the goings on and swoop in as a white knight except dress her scantily and take photos. There's little difference
