Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I know. And I keep telling my stupid brain that.
I do keep acting as if I truly believe that my friends and close ones like me, but sometimes it really does feel like a mask. The most productive thing to do is to act as if you are liked, even if you don't believe it.
But no yeah irrational brain is dumb. Ever catching onto the smallest innocent thing, thinking "this is it" (it's almost never it). It's exhausting.
I impulsively calculate and iterate on the "what-if this, what-if that" myself too, which is unhealthy and leads me to stress when I overdo it.
