Is there anything related to your identity that makes you feel afraid?
I become nervous about how my source self is perceived by fandom, in terms of fictionkinity. I know it doesn't actually matter, but whenever I see people talking about how much they hate my source self, it feels like they hate me, even when I know that's not rational. It's something that I'm trying to work on. More than anything, I'm afraid of my identity not being taken seriously, or people thinking that I am who I am by choice or that I take it lightly.
