Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

Standing up to an oppressor, especially one so powerful, is reason to be proud. Fighting for your survival and that of others, refusing to be enslaved, taking whatever pain you've been given and turning it into something you can use, that takes resilience and determination. Not everyone is capable of it.

I suppose I am afraid of returning to what I was. Pride feels dangerous.

It can be, in the wrong hands, like any weapon. I'd say if you're not the one telling other people how to live their lives while spitting on them to make yourself feel superior, you're probably in the clear.

To the enslaved, pride can be a means of survival.

Perhaps. I was on the wrong side of things for a....long time.

I'd think that gives you a better view than most, having seen both sides. Understanding the enemy and the tactics they use is a significant advantage. Second-guessing yourself at every turn won't make you a better fighter.
