Rec'd on 😃 DO YALL GET NERVOUS BEFORE POSTING SOMETHING
PARASOCIALITY
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 remember one time a new guy came to our school and i really wanted to befriend him because he is a nerd and i am too so it felt like we’d understand each other but i never really went up to him and talked because i was scared or nervous so id just smile at him sometimes , idk why i was trying to lure him into talking to me but anyways i did end up talking to him and we’re not really that close we talk from time to time but that inconsistency might just be because im introverted so i don’t always seek someone to talk to

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.

Feeling like the odd one out
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.

KPOP AND PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH CELEBRITIES
i could go on about this for days on end because i think there’s similarities between this and the way some people treat influencers and small musicians online now

ASTRONOMY/ASTROLOGY
I am very much aware of the constant beef between scientists and spiritual guides, but both are extremely fun! I am in love with the clear night sky, and always looking forward to stargazing/meteor shower season:3 But being the person that I am, I also love different archetypes of all kinds, and found that some astrological takes that I figured out for myself, oftentimes resonate with reality to some extent!! hm: houseki no kuni
