Hello everyone!
It's so amazing to find out I'm not alone! I was almost convinced female devotees were a myth and I was the only one...
I found out what a devotee was about a year ago, and at first I was terrified, I thought there was something wrong with me. I'm well over that now, but still full of doubts and worries.
I'm 29 and I've been fascinated by different forms of disabilities as long as I can remember... I know this is a place for SCI devs, but I'm mainly an amputee devotee (though I do have a weak spot for wheelers too, and for VIs)... am I still welcome here? Because I don't know who else to talk to!
I tried other devotee communities but there were mostly men, and some of them had a slightly disturbing attitude. I know it's a small minority but it scares me!
I'm socially awkward and very anxious, but most of all I'm afraid of negative judgment. I'm afraid people around me will not understand my "weird" attraction, I'm afraid of approaching someone I like because they might think I'm one of those few devs that stalk and harass people, or worse they might think that being a devotee I would do anything they ask and be a "easy girl". Does (or did) anyone else have the same fears?
