God it is so freaking hard to translate what people expect socially, especially online.
In the real world I can focus on the way people do or don’t respond, or like I’m ok with them thinking I’m weird, because everyone gives people a little bit of grace if we fumble socially. But online?
In texting and discord and tumblr and all the other social medias, there is unreadable subtext. And I try to search online to see how to convey to the masses, and at most I get a business explaining marketing, marketing that I already know.
Like I’m this close to starting a like blog? That is “how to people” because I feel like I am so behind when it comes to being social, because I can’t socialize online, and my peers can’t socialize in person.
And I feel like even though I want to just put my thoughts and be weird on this app like most people… I just can’t? And it sucks.
Also????? The cultural differences of online spaces are always combining and merging, one second something is a big No and then the next it’s funny? And it is like:
“Your mom kicks puppies. She also snorts candle wax.”
And it will be like saying someone is a murderer bring them to the square we will burn them like a witch.
“Your mom kicks puppies. She also snorts candle wax.”
Omg so funny, same platform, but this is so funny, even though there are no big differences between the people and they have the same wording.
People give me some irl third spaces rn, please get off thou phone and just talk to someone random.
Or like, make those Victorian social handbooks
