I mean honestly I feel isolated always, and social media makes my isolation worse sometimes. I’ve always felt very strange and like I don’t necessarily belong a certain place so I find it hard to truly connect. I spent a lot of time on the internet and talked to strangers as a kid and I found comfort in not truly knowing these people. They didn’t know the “real” me either. I think people are more obsessed with creating a certain persona and presenting it on social media.

It’s odd because despite no longer being in school, I still feel like the odd one out against my peers (in terms of using social media and things like that). I really try to have fun with it but I am left feeling strange, like I’m being observed like a zoo animal. I don’t engage with anyone I follow despite the fact that I know them all personally. And I feel like I’m nothing like any of them. And not in a quirky fun way. I just don’t feel like I’m experiencing life in the way that other people in their 20s are.
This is a complete mess of rec but its just a few thoughts I have been having. Just one more reason why I love this app so much as opposed to the others.

Ye I kinda get you.
2020 quarantine phase and 2022(for personal reasons) phase were the best and worst. I loved having the bits of communication squeezed out of my peers online, but I’ve been struggling with parasocial relationships(kinda?) ever since.
Every new chapter of my life I open, constantly ends with me obsessing with one or another person that I wanna befriend.
Except instead of asking to hang out irl, I try to impress them via socials, since throughout my teenage-hood I was isolated for one reason or another T_T
So my page looks overly-curated oftentimes, and you can tell exactly when the switch happens, haha

I change my appearance multiple times a year. I cut my hair and dye it. I try new styles. I get tattoos and piercings. I try new food. I do things for ME. I want to find my true self and interests and each day I get closer to who I really want to be. I feel I learn something new about myself everyday even if it’s small. (I’m depressed + anxious too and it can be so hard but I remind myself that I can’t care about everyone else and their opinions I need to do what is right for me. and no it is not selfish to do things for you).
