Honestly, This app really helped me to display my thoughts freely. I don't post on other social media, mostly because I don't feel the need. But this app has helped me develop the dexterity needed to post on social media regardless of the amount of interactions I get per post. Deep in me is about no longer feeling embarrassed which is something I dealt with constantly in the past.
I also think you should grow up. Your life doesn't end where the life of others begin. You'll continue to annoy people and keep on existing and that's fine. Truthfully, I think you're more prone to bother people when you adopt a self-deprecating attitude to you. So lose it. It's not serving you in any way. If it's costing you to live your life with confidence, learn to live with certainty first. There's no need for you to alter the reality you're living in with negative thoughts about yourself .
XOXO.

i struggle with this in my day to day life. i mostly exist feeling the world around me through a translucent shelter. this feeling is another me, in a way. they seek to deflect reality from me to some degree, for my own sake. they always know what they should say and when they should say it. they know when silence is appropriate. but, they can only speak for me. and i for them. we are one, but we’ve grown used to operating as a pair all too well. i allow them to guide me through 80% of my life because operating Me is exhausting. mfw im forced to exist in present day america as someone who is probably autistic, probably a trans girl, and probably won’t be certain of either for years to come dadadadada whatever u get it. all that to say this is me practicing being radically honest. so fuck what y’all think (<3) bc i’m real. which brings me to my final point. regardless of whether u want to be me (or anyone else), you can’t. you’re you. and you’re just as real, so fuck what i think (<3).

I've recently realized that, despite my consistent efforts to be authentic, I've still been structuring a lot of my goals and presentation based on what other people will think of me. It's all rooted in impressing others, because I worry that people won't like me if I don't impress them. It's not something I've been doing consciously, though. I think it is deeply ingrained with so many people my age because we grew up with social media. At 23, I'm only just beginning to understand how this may have really warped my brain. Additionally, I think a lot of family structures and the school system function this way. There is so much pressure to be "successful" in society. I have always supported the idea of other people expressing themselves without having to worry about being "cringe" or embarrassing, but I haven't been living it myself. I would love to strip back all the layers of expectations that have been painted onto me until I find who is really underneath again.

Not really a revolutionary sentiment; this is something people talk about a lot. But it leads to people living their lives as if they’re on a stage in a literal sense where their homes become set dressing for the aspirational lifestyle they want to project with the purpose of creating monetized content that’s palatable to an audience and to advertisers. Tiktok seemed to democratize this landscape quite a bit to where people who didn’t fit the narrower expectations set on Instagram and YouTube were able to carve out niches for themselves, but these niches were still subject to specific visual languages, trends, and “rules.” And now that it’s almost certainly on death’s doorstep, it should be interesting to see how this evolves.
If you want to share your authentic life you should do it authentically—it’s scary to bravely offer yourself up in such an unfiltered way but it’s where you currently are and it’s part of your story. You may not be happy with the way your house looks now but viewers might enjoy seeing your journey of becoming and the way the space you live in evolves with that! Sometimes you don’t have to feel ready or confident enough to do something; the confidence can come with practice and familiarity. The hardest part is showing up! 💌
