social media my beloathed

It's super interesting, as a person in their early 20s, to start trying to make a social media presence for the first time really now. This might be a bit wordy (and a bit too personal) but I was never allowed to have social media as a kid, and by the time I was able to actually start making accounts I felt like everything had passed me by. perhaps it is the autism, but I felt like there were so many patterns and behaviors and ways to act that I just. never caught on to y'know? By the time I got accounts in places, I spent so long lurking and retweeting and then my irl's were added to my accounts so I didn't want to behave outside of the norms that I had already established around those friends and I just. never got into posting... anywhere, really. So if you see a bunch of new accounts in this username, there's a reason for it. I want to try to do things online. maybe even to make friends! I want the opportunity to have the online socialization and experiences that I feel like everyone else my age got lol, and that probably includes crawling thru forums and writing cringey fanfic but that's what I want to do tbh. I want to be able to organically and authentically explore my interests without having to worry about friends who might not like my same interests or having to mask for ppl I know - I just want to be a cringey terminally online young adult lmfao

and I feel like this is so much more important to me because of where I am in life. I am almost done with grad school! I am living abt 2 hours minimum from any of my friends and I am just so desperate for some socialization that isn't my younger cousin, who I DO love! I just need more folks to talk to outside of family lmao bc I am in fact going insane. I am supposed to be a Real Adult soon and get a Real Job and I don't feel like I've ever had a good, solid online experience despite how long I've spent online

n e way this is my terminally online cringe era and I hope to make more friends along the way xoxo gossip girl
