hai guys, I think I might start replying to comments and accept friend request. I had quite a few I didn’t reply to and I don’t know if this is just a sudden rush of idk, wanting to interact because college is near and I I don’t wanna be a loser even tho I am. Even tho I think it’s too late for me to really reply to comments I had and accept friend request
Yeah, that’s probably really awkward aughghgjjghb it’s my fault okay now I feel. Discouraged

I'd definitely say to reply to comments you receive - people like to be heard, and it might help start conversations! Try to make sure it's not just something like "aww thanx u X3" (although you can absolutely use that typing style if you want, you don't have to always talk like you're writing a formal email LOL) and includes something extra e.g. if the comment made you feel happy, mention it, or if they're complimenting something then talk a little about your experience with it ("happy u like my profile X33 i took a long tiem on the background but its done now and im happy u liek it 2 <3"), or if they enjoy something you enjoy elaborate on it a little bit e.g. talking about a cool patchwork bag you saw if the topic is DIY clothing and accessories. Heck, even if they just say "I like your profile" and leave it at that, you can check out theirs and say something like "thx glad u like it, i saw ur profile and ur blinkie collection is SOOO COOOOOLLL!!! the rainbow dash one is my fav :>"
I'd be careful of accepting random friend requests though, while thankfully I've never encountered anyone creepy on here there seem to be quite a few accounts on here that are either "friend farming" (sending anyone and everyone a friend request) or explicitly trying to get into weird conversations with people, especially minors - I, as a general rule, do not accept any that come out of the blue on here, even if we have matching interests, for the sake of being more open to actually knowing and talking to my friends here and not just having them exist in the background, but also in case someone tries to approach me and ask inappropriate questions... if you are open to accepting requests from people you haven't seen before, I'd suggest doing your research and inspecting their profile carefully, and reading at least some of their most recent blogs, and once you reach a level that you're comfortable enough to be friends with them, you can accept. That's only a suggestion however, ultimately it's up to you, but I would watch out just in case.
Probably should have included this above with the rest of the comments wordwall, but I don't think it's ever too late to reply to comments, even with something small. If you get repeated replies from people who are like "dude I commented this a month ago, leave me alone" then yeah it's probably not worth keeping that up, but I would at least give it a try: maybe say something along the lines of "soz 4 no reply for 2 months, kinda anxious abt doing this (or whatever may have been holding you back beforehand),,, but [insert appropriate response here]". Hope this helps :')
