Hai!

So to make a long story short, a few days ago I got triggered when a friend talked of some topics that are traumatic to me. Because of this, I had became mute for the entire rest of the day and ended up crying because it felt so painful to want to talk, but be unable to do so. Its about only the third time I become mute because I get triggered by my trauma and I usually don't become mute otherwise. I might speak less in some situations, like if I get overwhelmed, but I never become fully mute except when I get triggered. However, when I am overwhelmed, it usually takes significant effort to speak.

I have made a copping meme about this event and had posted it in a few subreddits made to post copping memes. In the comments of one of them, someone posted a link to this subreddit.

So, I am here to ask a few questions. First, what really is selective mutism? I can get an idea of it by the name and by stories on here, but I wanna be sure I get it right. Second, does my experience fit into this? Its perfectly fine if it doesn't, I'm just curious and wants to figure things out.

Also, stupid thing I know, but if I wrote anything in this post that is a no-no, let me know. I'm still very new to all of this

Hai :3

I want to write a story, but I'm struggling to find a name for a very important female character. I've technically already found a name a like, Mia, but that is also the name of someone I know IRL and I don't want this character wearing that person's name, especially not with the things I plan to have her go through.

So, what I'm looking for is a female name that gives off small and cute vibes, the kind of name that makes you picture a small, harmless girl. I'd prefer if the name was short in spelling too, but that's not absolutely necessary. I've already though of names like Olivia, Emmie and Aya, but I'm honestly not fully satisfied with those.

Good luck :3
(Note: I do not consider this important for the name, but the character is a catgirl, not just a human.)
