#direct messages

Uh… What kind of nonsense this sh*t is ? 🙄

Keep getting weird people in direct messages asking me where I live. So I send them a photo of Reginald Jeeves from Jeeves and Wooster 1990 with the text Yo Dad's, and it always works at getting them to block me.

you ever look back at fanmail and find yourself really missing the authors?

this funny lil' guy messaged me back in 2023, and no joke, I think of them fondly to this day

I find myself imagining what kind messages I could still be getting today, if only they hadn't blocked me immediately after the above

I know the knee-jerk reaction is to automatically block these days, but man

why?

I love this shit.

Hi, little psa, if I dont know you in real life I will not respond to your messages.

I've gotten three different DMs from three different people in the past few weeks. I feel bad, because the blogs do seem like they're run by real people. I know they're saying Hi via DM because they just want to be friendly, but I also know that it's stressful for me to have to deal with these new social situations. I'm too shy to ever feel comfortable using DMs, so I just leave them there as reminders of my inability to speak to people.

On a slightly related note, I have something like at least 20 to 30 old asks still saved in my inbox. I forgot to answer most of them, so maybe I should work on clearing that out. I don't know if I'll remember to clear it out, but I know it's worth considering. I know that much.

Everyone seems to want to contact me over direct messaging, and I'm both flattered and intimidated. Too intimidated to actually answer any of the messages. My dad should probably learn that people want to talk to me, because he does deserve to know. He's like my only friend in real life, so I should probably tell him about the mild acquaintances I seem to have on here.

But I'm still too nervous to tell him all of that, and I'm too nervous myself to reply to any of the direct messages. I'm appreciative of every single one, but I can't work up the nerve to respond to any of them. I'm sorry about that to everyone who messages me. Because I do feel bad not responding. But my nerves are simply too bad to risk interactions like that.

You're fine, if I don't like a message, or simply do not want to respond I won't.
