so ive been scrolling through the more iffy sides of the internet recently, like in the weird ppl tags of tiktok and the loser side (which is basically the whole thing) of tumblr, and theres jst something i cant wrap my head around. i keep on seeing ppl talk abt how they only have their online friends (shower? lol) or just cant talk to ppl and i like dont get it at all.
it cant be that hard to jst go up to ppl and not be a weirdo, like talk abt something normal instead of gooner anime and youll be fine. they talk abt how hard it is to be with other ppl, and like i get it, believe it or not im also an introvert, but i think some ppl r just like, addicted to being alone so they can fulfill their dreams of being a self-pitying mysterious emo on the internet, and its kinda crazy to me.
moral of the story, if u think u cant make friends and everyone misunderstands u, get off of reddit and find ppl ur age to talk to. maybe work on that dumb self-deprecating "humour" some of yall have. constantly talking abt how worthless or alone or depressed u r isnt gonna change anything, so stop wallowing and get ur shi together bc its frankly embarrassing to watch. thats all xx

there are a lot of stereotypes in this blog as one of those people it's hard people probably because one they might be afraid of being judged for not comminating well or there interest and not every weird kid likes "goonner anime" sorry for my spelling and also is "emo" people can be really can be cruel online and irl and can be bullied for anything and sometimes they just can't start a conv easily but if you want to say its soo easy just don't talk about this or that that's fine. but this is all just from experience because what can be easy for you might be really hard for some else its like saying just walk to someone on a wheelchair sorry if this is kinda of a rant or whatever 2/10 ragebait i am just not in a good mood

as a weird girl to popular girl yes it really is. if you never had friends while you were younger, you don't develop the ability to understand going up to people and talking. especially when you never learnt how to start a conversation. it's awkward and humiliating for some people. as anhalise said some people have disorders that affect how they socialize. although the self pitying emo epidemic is real LOL

ion even leave my house so

This perspective is interesting to me because for a lot people im sure this applies, but i worry for those it doesnt apply to. People with austism or ADHD that are typically socially shunned for speaking can hardly control their lack of friends. I know thats an eye roll of a statement, but its true. Some people genuinely cant figure out how socail situations work or HOW to be "normal" in them. And while i can tell thats not your target audience for criticism, it worries me that theres not a note about that at all. I worry that a neuro divergent person could see this and be really hurt by the jokes made at their expense or by the assumption that they dont just *try*. The way diff people will perceive your words is worth considering. It's important to clarify and consider in all situations. so- words for thought i suppose
I am unfortunately one of those neurodivergents. The problem is that I can't tell if these blog posts are ragebait or not.
I have communication issues outside of my online spaces and it can be really hard to help, believe it or not. This is rooted from the fact that every real life friend I've had either grew distant or just left without me being able to have some sort of contact with them. It is not that I don't try, I am just afraid. I have an awkward way of speaking that might end up being off-putting to some people, especially since I have a lisp.
It's not easy for everyone. I don't think that's all too difficult to sink in.

Im replying moreso to the reply above mine rather than the original comment:
If it helps at all im, like, 90% sure that this comment is ragebait-ish. I think the person these is playing a character similar to the mean girl archetype that was present everywhere in 2000s media.
A perfect example of this archetype is the person's profile pic, Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.
But yeah I think this person is more playing a 2000s mean girl character rather than expressing any true feelings (but I could be wrong cause I dont know this person at all)

Introvert to Introvert? Real honestly. I do get along well with strangers on the internet and I quite like some alone time, but i don't think it's that hard to go up and talk to people. I recently found someone that shares the same stupid interests with me and we get along rlly well. So yeah, it's nice to talk to people once in a while, maybe you'll meet someone.
