#even online

[rotting-butterscotch]

so do y'all ever getting get that feeling when you've loved a specific show for years upon years all by yourself because it's a bit too niche for all your irl friends but it ended years ago and no new content from it has come out in years so you go onto every single social media platform (including tumblr) in search of mutuals of this niche show, and then find mutuals who also like this show as much as you, but are then too socially awkward to reach out to those people and ask to be friends? no? just me then :3

So my husband plays Eve Online and let me make an extra character for him.... My Magnum Opus.

I have 199 followers, yet I only follow 189 people. I find that odd. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. But I think it just proves I've become more sedentary the longer I've had a tumblr account. I still barely leave my dashboard (well, I leave it now more than I did a few months ago, but still not too often), I barely ever follow new people, etc. I just overthink everything and then feel bad about it.

lmfaooo why does following someone on tumblr who’s vv active and has established online friends feel like intruding into a friend group

#omlllll #i just want to be active and have online friends #pls bro #fel.txt #felix is bad at socializing #even online #boyloser #metalhead #sick and tired #what if i exploded #socializing is hard

THE WAY I SCREAMED 💗💗💗

😭😭😭

Thank you for sticking around for so long! ❤️❤️

Omg now I feel kinda bad for not following you back sooner! 😅

(I really hope I'm not coming off cold to anyone. I just assume people will think I'm creepy if I follow them. 🫣)

#im socially awkward #even online #answered asks #thanks for the ask! #ambrossart

russian gaming news are full of "those crazy minorities are trying to bully innocent people for playing a video game" and it's both funny and sorta tragic. like, how fucked up this world is. imagine spending your time writing bitter angry articles about small marginalized group of people, who are voicing their concerns about probably extremely profitable game. why does this keep happening

#not to mention that queer people have absolutely no power in russia #even online #like legally you can't even say positive thing about lgbt it's that bad #i just don't understand why would they even talk about this situation #other than ''see? queer people suck. we shouldn't allow them to exist'' #text post

[self-hatred-h00die]

idk how i just made a friend from an online game but i did and we're playing mc tomorrow :3

#im literally so bad at talking to people #even online #usually i just get anxiety and give up #but this person is v fun and easy to talk to #yayay i hope we get closer

[yeyinde]

lev i want to be your friend but i’m so scared to message you or anything 😭 you scare me. (not to mention the other times i’ve tried to make friends online they blow me off 🥲)

i thought about this quite a bit, and i'm so sad that you feel this way! i don't think i'm a scary person, and i am always down to chat about my favourite fictional characters whenever i have the time!

you're more than welcome to reach out at your own pace if you would like to. i can't promise i will be available all the time to chat, but i try my best to be responsive when i can be. 🖤

#im also painfully shy #even online #so if i don't respond #it's probably because i talked myself into thinking i'm just being annoying

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

I’ll listen to music that’s new to me but in genres I like and I’m like “this is so normal though” when talking about it but then I hear common pop like Taylor swift or something and I’m like “oh. This is definitely a different genre actually”

#emma posts #me listening to goth rock and being like ‘this is so normal though’ #I guess ghost is a bit obviously different #but my beloved ‘the birthday massacre’ has a lot of synth and stuff? #I have no idea what constitutes normal pop actually #and at this point I feel like I would be too confused if someone tried to explain it #and rock from other countries is normal in those countries #I think #actually it’s kind of hard to find some of them on cds #even online #I mean. the Canadian bands are usually easy enough to get #but for some reason Dutch music is harder to get #I don’t listen to much stuff that isn’t English though so I’m boring #I mean. I listen to some. but not much #this isn’t me going ‘I listen to obscure music and slightly more popular music. I’m so cool’ #this is just me being genuinely confused about what is considered normal

[positively--speculative]

It's so uncomfortable when I'm having a somewhat normal conversation with someone online, and they just start laying on the compliments.

"You're so great..."

We've been talking on and off for like...two weeks. You don't know that. Not really.

"I'm going to be moving out of state in a place that's closer to where you live. We can hang out!"

This is getting a little weird.

Like, this person seems like they're probably decent, but she already gave me her number and is talking about hanging out *next year.* Sorry, but I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.

#I always attract such clingy people #even online #yeesh #neediness #needy people #clingy

You know those embarrassing moments where you accidentally unfollow someone while looking through their blog and hastily follow them back before thinking “wait they’re gonna get a notification from that aren’t they” and then you feel like an absolute idiot and want to message said Person an apology before noting the fact that “hey not everyone cares if that happens and you’ll probably just seem annoying,” but YOU care and you DON’T want to seem annoying cause said Person is super cool in your eyes, so instead, you just make a post about it?

yeah we LOVE those.

#this is ridiculous #social anxiety #even online #overthinking everything #I’m that person who says sorry for basically anything #you could pour a cup of hot soup on my lap and I’d say sorry to you

I have 205 followers, yet I only follow 192 people. I find that odd. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. But I think it just proves I've become more sedentary the longer I've had a tumblr account.

I gotta start talking to people who aren’t my boyfriend

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

#thinking about the person i saw saying that if you're at a protest #and other protesters try to stop you from becoming violent you should just kill them bc 'peace police are still police' #even taken as hyperbole that's simply dumb as shit on every conceivable level #it's also pretty blatantly hypocritical coming from people who are usually self-avowed prison/death penalty abolitionists #like i'm sorry but you don't get to be a death penalty abolitionist and also call for the death of your political enemies online #this isn't a major issue or anything i'm just bored and annoyed

[deritosmi]

I feel like you’re going to be responsible for my death

yeah, I… get that a lot

trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

#the same thing happens with black people #black people are everywhere! especially online! black gay and black trans people! #but when your community is suspiciously devoid of them then theres something wrong and you need to acknowledge it #even if its not intentional you need to think about how theres minority groups who do not feel safe around you at face value #this is why loud and outright support and solidarity is so important #black people and trans people and etc minority groups will assume you are unsafe unless you explicitly state otherwise #you can't just sit there and say 'well they didnt approach us so its not our fault for not including them!' #like did you TRY to get them to approach you?? #cy texts
