What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do? (sopuli.xyz)

To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone.

Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb.

Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.

In my past I used to take on janitorial or maintenance jobs, but the grossness of the job combined with the attitude of the general public just made it unbearable. People would ask me if I was a citizen and when I said yes, they'd tell me that it's a job for immigrants. They'd also say that it's a job for slaves and ask if I felt like a slave doing that kind of work.

Some people are so horrible...

Go get a job pumping septic tanks. Customer disrespects you? Walk off the job leaving them with backed up poo. Generally people are glad to see you. Good money if you can get to the point of running your own truck. Some dudes making good money posting about septic pumping on YouTube too. Get out the auger and whip up a poop smoothie. Mmmm! Smells like money!

Shitty people, amirite.

Sorry, I really couldn't stop myself.

I used to do Janitorial work, And I got respect for it.

And you deserve respect for it to.

because decent people understand you are the fulcrum upon which their nice world balances on.

People like you deal with have less value than the effluence from an overflowing toilet.

Sorry you deal with such shitty people man.
