Sometimes, online spaces are more intimidating than in-person spaces.
I haven’t been on an open online space like this in years, and it’s intimidating to get back into it. The most active I’ve ever been in a blog or an online space like this was QUOTEV back in like 2016 [tears] /j
I’m hoping I can get used to SpaceHey soon and get comfortable with it! It’s definitely more comfortable than more modern-esc online spaces like Discord and TikTok.

For me, I feel like I've forgotten how to talk to people in online spaces. I've made online friends before, and I'm still friends with them. But now it feels like I can't do that anymore. At the same time, I feel like I'm better at talking to people in real life, which is good. I have always felt like I struggled with that, but I love being in online spaces as well. It's just annoying cause I never had a problem with this before.
RIGHTTTT. For me, it’s like I’m so good at in person conversations and getting to know people, but the moment I’m online, I’m quivering in my boots lol. I used to be really good at online stuff, and it frustrates me a little that I can’t just get back into the swing of things. I’m very happy that I’m good at communicating irl, but I definitely think being confident with online communication is important too.

Omg I don't remember if I ever made an account but I was obsessed with the quizzes LMFAOO I feel like the quality of the fanfics (at least the ones I was finding) were not that great though, so I ended up migrating to other sites pretty early LOL

The quality of the fanfics were definitely mid, but something about that website had me HOOKED. I was even writing and co-writing books on there LOL. The quizzes were peak though

I share the same feelings as you, no matter how hard i try i'm never brave enough to talk with people on Discord or Instagram, the massification of Social enviroments makes me feel so tiny and insignificant
That’s so real. I definitely feel like there’s two sides to being online, like either being completely unnoticeable or being seen by tons of people. Both are so intimidating to me, but I’m definitely trying to work on it! There’s so much good that can come out of online spaces like this, but also being cautious while being engaged with it is definitely an interesting balance I’m trying to find.
