• note - all of these are somewhat less pronounced in Anna and much less pronounced in Alex, because i think they have the ability to restrict/limit their emotions? the flipside is them being out less.
  • feeling lonely, not enough friends
  • strong jealousy of ppl who have more friends than we do, which often leads to self hatred and depressive spirals and sometimes the need to avoid talking to people who have more friends than us for a while
  • also lots of worrying that our friends will see that we're somehow bad and decide to abandon us as a result
  • extreme emotional volatility (often going from really sad to really happy a few times a day)
  • executive dysfunction
  • our memory is kinda terrible in general nowadays, we forget stuff really easily. (most memories that we do remember are shared ones we can all access, it's unusual for there to be something that only one of us in here can remember)
  • intermittent very strong urges to eavesdrop/ snoop on private conversations (this is something we're trying to deal with; everyone but Sarah and Kathy is usually able to overcome this urge now but it's really really hard at times)
