This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

I had this best friend in high school who was the worst case of anxiety I have seen in my life and Im almost 30. It was so bad to the point we were attached at the hip. Unintentionally it became a situation where she had this one sided dependency on me and I didnt mind it because she was my best friend since middle school.

But then it jusy kept getting worse. The best example I can give you is we had a vending machine near our table in lunch and she was too anxious to go and get a mountain dew. Nobody was around us except our friend group. I used to get up and get them for her because she was too anxious, but one day I said why doesnt she get it? She shut down and said nevermind she doesnt want one anymore. Thats the moment when our relationship started to fracture. I mean come on, you couldnt even get a drink out the vending machine that was a few feet away? On my end I became more and more exasperated with her. She was so attached to the point she'd get upset if I even talked to someone else, so building relationships and friendships was hard. I never hated her but I strongly started to resent her. We both took driver's education together and she was so freaked out the first day because she walked in half an hour late that she dropped the course and to this day I dont think she has her license and we live in a state where you need that.

Eventually we had a big falling out the summer after our junior year. I mean it just got to a point where it was pathetic and ridiculous. Like really? I cant even talk to my friends because youre too anxious? You cant use a vending machine??? I ended up pushing her away more and more, just stopped enabling it and being this anchor for her. I dont remember much of our relationship that year, like we were still close friends for sure, but I do remember seeing her go get that drink out the vending machine herself halfway through senior year, and it filled me both with pride and anger because why did it take our friendship becoming strained?

All this to say, we grew up on tumblr. We were all teenagers trying to help each other out of mental illness, so theres some grace to be had. And granted, tumblr helped to push the stigma around mental health away immensely. But no one was an expert and often there was a bigger harm done than intended. And it gets to a point where you just have to do the uncomfortable thing and introduce friction into your life, otherwise you'll end up like her with the little friends around you like me, pushing you away because its honestly ridiculous.

this is going to be difficult -> i am capable of doing difficult things -> i have done everything prior to this moment -> this difficulty will soon be proof of capability

Thanks, tumblr mobile, for unintentionally making this even funnier

Just as I said, “is this ever going to load?” One gif loaded and honestly it answered my question perfectly.

Call Me Maybe is so deep actually. If ‘before you came into my life I missed you so bad’ was sufjan Stevens, tumblrinas would have gotten it tattooed on their ribs in typewriter font.

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

[freakoutgirl]

the internet seems like a distant dream

what if you woke up and it was suddenly 2010, but you kind of had shit memory? Like i remember obama getting re-elected in 2012 and big things like that, but i had to google the date of sandy hook. like you'd have knowledge of everything thats going to happen, but theres no way to look them up since they didnt happen yet. Itd be honestly horrific. What would you even do. Also youre literally 12 years old. Imagine knowing all that and having to do puberty again

I still cant believe tumblr tried to make it so there was an individual note count for each post addition; as though best part of successfully adding to a post isn't that you get to sit back smugly as the original poster's notifications are rendered unusable

Reblog this post to render OP's notifications unusable
