the internet in general is a lot lonelier place to me than it was 10, 15 years ago
i promise i'm not trying to lose friends
i don't know what happened
please help me
@mavica_again it feels deader than before to me but the connections I do have still are stronger than before
@celestestormysea maybe i forgot how to make new friends. maybe past trauma and bruised ego are still holding me back.
@mavica_again
part of it for me is that I've had to deal with a wide variety of stalkers, so I've learned to shut up and hide.
as for everyone else, I think the internet slowly turned into another platform for parasocialization. it stopped being a place to talk to hang out with friends and became a place where you're an audience for celebrities.
@missmouse ding ding ding that's a bingo
as someone who considers byteself to be a digital creature whose home is the internet this makes me really sad
