           Okay I'm actually starting to freak the
           fuck out

Favorite Person☺️
What's going on?

                                                                        Mark
                                                                  The date
           The first time was just awkward and I
           didn't even have to do much except
           have Jeno not get in a fight with
           Haechan but this time the date seems
           more real
        And I don't know what to do about that
        I'm fine with it, I want to go on the date
        but I'm so fucking scared of the
        possibilities and I can feel myself
        starting to shut down and now I think
        I'm gonna do something stupid

Favorite Person☺️
If you need space and time to think,
that's not stupid
What are you scared of? Is it just being
hurt again?

                                                                        Mark
        There's that which I'm always scared of
        but I'm also scared that they're gonna
        decide we don't work before we can
        even start
      I'm so fucking terrified of them breaking
      my heart but I don't wanna never have
      a chance either
           What if I like them and they don't like
           me?
           I want to protect myself and just pull
           away from them but I don't wanna do
           that. I just want good things go
           happen and that not being a
           guarantee freaks me out

Favorite Person☺️
Can I ask you some questions?

                                                                        Mark
                                                                          Sure

Think about the relationships you have with them right now. Have any of them done or said anything to make you think they don't wanna give you a chance or
try dating at all?
You said you want a chance. Does you wanting a chance with them outweigh
your fear of getting hurt?
How worried are you that they
don't/won't like you?
And if it's not too much, how much of
this has to do with...your ex?

                                                                        Mark
        Is it bad that I'm relieved you didn't say
        her name?

Favorite Person☺️
Idk, I'm petty and call my ex anything
but his name

                                                                        Mark
           I remember being worried about Jeno
           but we're actually friends now. But
           friends doesn't equal romance
            I mean, on my end, it kinda does but
            they could all only want to be friends
            and that's fine in the long run but it
            would hurt like hell right now
          That solely depends on the day. Some
          days I just decide I wanna keep myself
          in this shell where no one can hurt me
          but I know what I'm like and if I like
          them enough, what I want will
          outweigh fear
         It also depends. Most of the time I don't
         worry but then I just start thinking
         and then I spiral
     I've always been terrified of getting hurt.
     When I dated...when we broke up, it was
     basically all my fears coming true
                  And I hate myself for ignoring my
                  warning signs not to date cause I
                  wanted her too much
