How has getting into the MAP comunity helped you?

Do you think it’s helped you to have people who share your interests to talk to socialize with? I’ve been on lifeline.chat and mapsupport.de, and on the one hand, I’m glad I can share my worries and anxieties, but on the other hand,I feel like I end up focusing too much on it. I wish I could just accept myself and find peace

It has been life saving for me.

When I was younger I really struggled with my sexuality, by the time I was in my 20s I struggling to come to terms with what I was. But being in forums, talking to others gradually got me to understand my sexuality and as I met more and more really nice maps I got to realise that maps are the salt of the earth, good people, normal people, kind and fun people. That allows me to accept that I could be that as well and the monster people paint maps as.

Today I'm very happy to be a map and that was all thanks for forums like this.

I'm glad to hear that, I'm new in all this and I hope some day I'll find peace. Can I ask you about your attractions?

I'd have to say it has help with the self-hate I carried for years. I believed the media lies, all pedos are evil and (if given the chance) would abuse kids. I was well aware of my attractions early in life and felt I was doomed. Since coming to spaces like this, I realized we are not some evil figure lurking in the shadows. That we can have these attractions and still not abuse kids. Now, I still don't like having the attractions but I have accepted it's a part of me and I shouldn't hate myself.

It helped me with the feeling of isolation. Knowing that I'm not alone. That there are other MAPs like me. Even if it's just online.

Condemned comes on a MAP site and calls himself a "CSA survivor". The guilt trip might work with you but not with me. I would appreciate it if he actually replied to me. He always gets an admin or mod to protect him.
