have i ever been a story?

currently struggling to deal with the realisation that there's probably biased versions of me, floating around the minds of those who have never met nor interacted with me. because stories spread like wildfire, naturally i probably exist within the mind of somebody who is far away from my comprehension, and deeply unrelated to me. this anxiety probably makes no sense to anybody apart from me and that's ok. but the fact that mere fragments of me with a different face exist in the conscience of those who have nothing to do with me is quite astounding really.

I don't think it's as uncommon a fear as you might think! I know it definitely stresses me out sometimes to not know what othr people think of me, or to think about how some people percieve me even though they don't know me well, or haven't met me at all and have only heard about me! I feel like I need to find everyone who's ever heard of me and justify myself to all of them!

It's hard to let go of things like this that you can't control, so tbh I just try not to think about it lol I also try to accept that people who judge me before they know me aren't worth my time, and sometimes I can be judgy, too, so I have to work on myself before I worry about other people. But yeah, sometimes it still gets to me.

Hope you feel better soon!
