QR codes are just a barcode that contains some text. that’s it. that text could be a link, or it could be all sorts of other stuff (like a WiFi password, a contact card, a phone number, or anything else that can be done with a fucking barcode)

i used to rely on objects and places a lot for comfort. however, as i made plans to run away from my parents, i had to slowly mentally prepare myself to be okay with having fewer comfort objects. i could only bring what would fit inside my backpack.

@xlavrity i'd say the issue is that a lot of people put way too much weight on it for a small proportion of people, this can be a good thing. for most people, this is a bad thing, as it causes you to underestimate what you're capable of.

i hope this provides a bit more context to those "i tried heroin and now i'm addicted to it" type of posts on the internet. i wouldn't recommend needlessly trying strong opioids, they are very addictive. but, in those types of stories, there's more than just the drug at play.

i eventually made up my mind that i wanted *out* of the relationship. but, my partner wouldn't accept this. she kept trying to convince me to stay. since i'd still be stuck living with her family, as i had no other option, i tried to keep this up for a bit longer.

even before she had the remote access, she would adjust the settings on my devices to her liking. she didn't want the devices to be customized for *my* needs, she wanted everything to be shared, and customized to fit her. this deeply bothered me.

i was in a relationship i didn't want to be in, and my partner was taking away my only source of physical comfort. i talked about my discomfort with this on twitter and discord. but, my partner would eventually end up seeing this, which made things worse.

this is how i ended up relying on drugs for comfort. because i was traumatized out of every other source of comfort i could find, until this is all i had left. i don't blame the drug for this. if i *had* to blame someone, it would be the people who did this to me.

after i left that relationship, my partner realized what she did to me was deeply fucked up (there is a *lot* i didn't mention here!). i don't really care much about it now. but it deeply fucked up my ability to comfort myself, and i'm still undoing the damage to this day.

she didn't like how i'd spend a while browsing twitter on the toilet, so she took away my phone while i was on there, and only let me use hers. eventually, she wouldn't let me go anywhere without her, not even the bathroom. i was essentially cut off from the outside world.

and, while all of this was happening, she would frequently get into arguments with her parents (which we were living with), and they would frequently threaten to kick us out. i was already a traumatized mess when i came there, and this made things so much worse.
