this is going to be a more serious post than my previous memes and humour, so i do apologise for that, but on the other hand, i hope to find others to relate to.
ive tried to find the perfect social media to express my hyperfixations and interests, but to not much surprise, i haven’t had much luck. instagram is boring and highly un-interactive, facebook you don’t tend to find younger people and it’s generally quite serious (imo), tik tok is extremely toxic (again, imo) and i cant think of any others.
whenever i went on tumblr, it felt more comfortable and a place where i can genuinely express my interests etc. so i decided to join, because, why not? everyone seemed chilled and funny and everyone had a great sense of humour.
i don’t know about any of you, but i tend to give up easily, when trying to make friends etc. (and yes before anyone questions, i have trouble making friends so social media is kind of my only option). and they seem to be amazing but over and done with in like, 2 days. it’s like im scared to out myself out there because i know ill be disappointed in the end.
im homeschooled, with not much of a social life, especially in real life, i struggle with anxiety on a daily occurrence, and all ive ever wanted is to find people that get me for me, you know? and every time i think ive found it, little do i know it’s over in a second.
im worried about drama, im worried that they might actually not like me as much as i like them, im worried ill give up on it, once again. and not much changes, if *anything* changes.
i don’t actually know what my goal is with this post, i don’t know what im trying to achieve. but i just hope im not alone in feeling like this constantly.
please try not to take this as a “feel sorry for me” post, because i promise it’s not. i just would love to hear other peoples sides, since i don’t usually here anyone else speak about this.
thank you for reading, if you have. i really appreciate it.
The most bizzarre incident with Dahmer according to Backderf
“The 1978 Revere variety show, Acts from Our Attic, ran for three performances, March 9–11, 1978. The comedy troupe, the Acme Ash Company, named after the local garbage hauling company that picked up the trash in Bath, was essentially the members of the Dahmer Fan Club. All the bits were written by us. The Hitler skit was the hit of the show (CAL, The Reverie 1978).”
-My Friend Dahmer, Derf Backderf
Derf Backderf (real name John Backderf) is an American cartoonist whom most famous work is “My Friend Dahmer”, an international bestseller. Backderf grew up in Richfield, Ohio, and he attended Revere High School. He was a classmate of Jeffrey Dahmer, and one of the founders of the “Dahmer’s Fanclub”. My Friend Dahmer is the culmination of a comic book project first started in 1994, and it tells various facts and stories of a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball pre-murderers Jeffrey Dahmer.
