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?CantChainTheSpirit wrote: Sun May 03, 2026 9:30 pm 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.
You said that you were not going to post here anymore.Condemned wrote: Thu May 07, 2026 4:34 am 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.
Please be nice! We like having Condemned around.DANAT4T wrote: Tue May 12, 2026 10:47 pmYou said that you were not going to post here anymore.Condemned wrote: Thu May 07, 2026 4:34 am I'd have to say it has help with the self-hate I carried for years.

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.BLueRibbon wrote: Wed May 13, 2026 3:55 amPlease be nice!
