Topic: i accidentally initiated a social situation im not prepared for
Anonymous A started this discussion 10 years ago #51,329
I made an okcupid account mostly to answer the questions for fun because I love answering questions and watching it describe my personality and creeping on other peoples profiles and seeing who I knew in real life
but today I decided to fill it out and I got like 3 messages from people who look cool and I'm suddenly terrified and realized that I would love to make friends because I haven't made any friends since school and that's been a while like Jeez and now I'm nervous because I'd like to chat with new people but I haven't chatted online with anyone in like years and how do I do it. freaking me out too much pressure. last time I had a conversation with a stranger online it went like 'hi I'm mentally ill and a drop out and a communist' and I was like 'hi I am also depressed and a communist and a drop out' and used the same emojis and I was like 'this is too much like talking to myself' and so I never tried talking to anyone online again
do u ever feel pressured by social media. here's an extra question do benzos make you Chatty because why did I make this post so long
i also hate making friends. Or thinking about making friends there are too many potentialities and it's hard because you become emotionally invested and who needs that right
And how do you get past the point where you're like 'I don't give a fuck about you stranger what are your motives' i am so wary of this and id rather just be friends with someone who I already know
I hate the Internet and am just going to fucking reply to the stupid innocuous messages from random 20 somethings who are pretending to have their shit together because I don't know them anyway and who gives a SHIT
i do actually give a shit I don't feel entirely happy with my current friend group I can only handle so much referential humor and inside jokes and I
Hold up I No nevernind I think what I want is just affirmation and validation from the communities that I feel alienated from but am a part of technically
no I think it's mostly that I want to be a part of a real community who share my values
i crave community you guys and that's the bottom line
a year ago i almost started religious practice publicly i e going to zen center instead of staying home but I got laughed at by my boss when I asked for Saturdays off. i mean i got Saturdays off but I never went again
i just figured staring at a wall with people around is nicer than staring at a wall alone at home.
i don't know what she imagined about where I was going but it made me feel bad. I told myself I stopped going because it was a long drive to the city and it was hard to find parking but I think it was because my boss laughed at me and i don't like that about myself. I think this whole post is mostly about my lack of confidence and fear of failure
but who isn't afraid of failing and who doesn't lack confidence am I right
well Sophie doesn't
neither does postmortem
Or squeegee
or like half of you psychos
im just gonna reply to these messages

@previous (B)
sometimes I wish I wasn't op when someone makes a good post in a thread I posted because if I cite you complimenting your post it'll seem like I'm just trying to also bump my post but I want you to know that that's sincerely not what I'm doing and I
Genuinely appreciated your post. It was a good post

@OPYou are now contractually obliged to have sex with all the men that have clicked on your profile, that's how okcupid works, didn't you read the terms when you signed up?
It's probably best if you also post a pic of side boob and/or under boob here and start to namefag too, it's helpful for our team of counselors and their rape threat strategies.

A kids' cartoon movie about a rabbit on a police force, apparently.

I once made a match.com account, and was kicked out 2 days later.
Apparently, "My dick" was not an appropriate answer to the question, "What do you like in a woman?"
