I'm writing a new story! I am doing my research on a few things just to make sure character traits and story elements are correct, so it'll make sense. For example: I have a character in this new story with paranoid personality disorder (PPD) and I would just make him trust everyone he meets, I wouldn't make him think that everyone who says they love him loves him, no! I have done my research, I am still doing some now, and I know that people with PPD think that lovers/family/friends are actually intending on hurting them. He has a hard time opening up to people, in fear they are going to use it against him. It does play into the story, I won't just have it there just so it makes him "seem cool" or "seem interesting" no, it moves the plot, if he didn't have PPD, the story wouldn't progress. I am not going to lie, this is my first time writing a character that has paranoia or PPD, but I am doing research, I love looking up things like "What is PPD?" because they are all so fascinating! They are cool to learn about, just how some minds are wired differently, causing various things. I just got completely of track didn't I. Yeah I did, but I am writing a new story, I really do hope you like it. It won't be done for like a few days though, since I am a slow writer. WARNING! This story deals with things such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and actions, paranoid personality disorder, and social anxiety, if any of those things trigger you, you might not want to read this, it might not be your cup of tea (or coffee, whatever you like :/)
