The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    I am not going to do your post justice, I thought it was beautiful, tbh. lots of relateable things for me in there... I only have a few things I really can respond to...

    I want to be vulnerable with someone. Share my entirety with them. My physical mental and emotional self. But i dont know who that self is. How can I share something with someone when I dont know what it is? Its not a box I can hand to them. Its abstract thoughts and feelings.

    ;_; but ... I do want to say, it looks to me like you just did, a little bit?

    Im a mirror. I reflect the person Im talking to. Its why groups are hard for me. I become who Im interacting with.

    this reminded me of my people pleasing issues. I tend to try to assimilate IRL around people like a lot ... lately I've been trying to slowly let go of the mask, but it's taking a long time... I prefer talking online, where I can think and speak at my own pace, and I don't have the pressure of someone staring at me waiting for me to say something, I can take my time.

    What if what i want is wrong? Stupid? Poor taste? Hurtful? Insulting? I want to want things. I want to want. I do want. At least a little.

    I feel this. I hold back a lot with my opinions when I'm around more than one person, or when I don't trust someone, and also in general. I'm working on it, just pushing against those "people will hate me if I share my opinion on Y" feelings a little each day...
