*woke up in the name that I wore last night
to the sound of an empty bed*
I wish I could just shut off my pattern recognition. Truly. It’s easy once a thing happens a couple of times for that to be the new standard. Now everyone is this intimidating person that is obviously never going to text me. If I could observe that people are easy to talk to and that sending a text won’t cause my skin to disintegrate, I feel like I could change my mindset.
Unfortunately she wasn’t a shy girl, I was the shy one. I felt like I was taking a risk any time I tried speaking up. I had to be so brave to approach her. And she’d go screw one of these confident guys who is just straight up a prick (not even nice-guying, I had a bad vibe about one guy from the get go and nobody believed me because he was popular, then things between them fell apart WOW WHO GUESSED) and act like we never had any sort of connection.
But like, the fact that I’m sitting here sad about it (and I’m not even straight anymore) YEARS later and don’t know how to move on. People will just let you stay stuck. It’s fucking crazy.
I was in school and had a crush on this woman. I thought we hit it off, she was super fun and bubbly around me when we first met. We had several classes together so I saw her all the time.
I would text her like every day. She’d respond usually, but her responses after a month or so started getting delayed and less enthusiastic. She kinda started acting cold.
Also she slept with multiple guys during this, and like never bothered to say she wasn’t interested in me. We went on a date! I genuinely thought I had a chance, still.
COVID happened and I had to leave school for multiple reasons. I opened up to her about struggling with depression and all of it and she said she was there for me. She pretty much never texted me first at this point, it was just me reaching out.
I asked her once if she could call me to check in. She did not. I never knew how to tell her how much that hurt. Because she was one of two college friends I stayed in touch with, and the other person also chose distance.
So texting feels broken because I do not trust anybody to respond to me. It sucks.
Being ghosted once by someone you trust will genuinely mess with your head for years
But! I made a sandwich and ate it by the river today. Yummy stuff
More of a comment, really
“Crow? I don’t get you.”
When you realize that nobody is watching your insta story piecing together your lore the way people do with FNAF games
I struggle with this sort of thing myself. It’s like I’ll see someone and find them so instantly attractive that I lock up and don’t know how to proceed socially. I usually end up feeling guilty, like I’m staring too much. I felt like it was a male gaze thing for the longest time.
For me some of it is envy vs. attraction, am I into them or do I want to look like them? I’m not always sure, and it could be both or neither. I’m attracted to guys, but women catch my eye more.
I’ve lost my own point! In any case, whoever experiences this, I sympathize, because I am still trying to understand my own tendencies to be awkward around the beautiful people
“Greetings, fellow Do-Gooder!”
She’s not a girl
who misses much
dudududududooo
oh yeah
I get the impression that most people don’t get caught in moral quandaries that cause them to retreat from the world in a state of emotional overwhelm
But I do get caught in this assumption that if I explain myself perfectly then it’ll click and somebody will see me as I truly am
I also don’t get how people ask questions without being scared
I don’t understand why I am sweating through every piece of clothing just enough to leave ugly stains. We simply do not have the science to answer such a thing.
It’s very annoying though. Nobody else looks sweaty 😐
Just realized that we grow and learn from our experiences without realizing it? Damn, that’s fucking crazy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unfortunately I was dealing with this particular issue on Android. I’m most likely gonna install it on my laptop (Windows) though so this seems like good info, thank you
Every time I have to do a virtual meeting I end up having a technical issue that is confounding to everyone involved and has no clear solution.
Today everyone could hear me, but I couldn’t hear anyone. Every volume setting at full volume. Switching between wired and wireless headphones. I never figured out what went wrong 🫠
What. This rocks
