i have written a post. it's long, entirely personal, and it makes me feel very vulnerable.
on socialization, social media and emotional maturity, or: how i learned to stop worrying and become the change i wanted to see in the world
@mavica_again this rules and I agree. I also never really got what I needed to socialize and now that I'm left with no community and the need to actually find one again without anything to really jump off from, I've actually had to sit back and go "well how do I make friends with people?" especially since we're in the age of everything resembling a community being shunted off behind closed doors.
also relating to the need to commit to something different too. I've been meaning to comment on stuff I like more often. consider this a trial run lol
@eblu i'm glad it strikes a chord with people other than me, that helps me feel less like i'm isolated in my thinking
@eblu (and, lesbiaboard is right there, just saying ^^)
@mavica_again I might consider at least lurking! feels a little awkward being there as a cis aroace because that's the source of endless "is this guy actually part of the community or just a prude" debates but I do appreciate a good forum
@mavica_again also shoutouts to it loading near instantly. that's a luxury in this day and age
