Extremely bad at social media
8 years ago
I've been wanting to write this journal for months. I've finally managed to get myself to sit the hell down and just type.
I'm extremely bad at posting/updating my social media and I've been wanting to try to get better at it. I just get into
a mood and am unable to come up with things to say or post, and before I know it I've disappeared from everything for months
at a time. I suppose I get like anxious over posting things? I dunno, it's weird. It's like I'm constantly worried what people are
gonna think of me based on the kind of things I post. I know it's stupid and it's something I'm trying to break myself out of. I
constantly see myself shying away from things in real life and unable to do/say things when I'm confronted with a situation or
a conversation and I guess if it's something I can try to fix online maybe it'll help me in real life too. This journal is moreso for me
than anyone else, kind of a reminder to kick myself in the ass about being active online since I really enjoy sharing little tidbits about
my life and random things I find funny or cool or cute. I just wanna make random people's day better with something cute or
funny. Bleh. This journal is all over the place and I apologize I just needed to get my thoughts out there before I put too much
thought into it and decided against writing this journal again.
Anywayyyy, some recently life events of mine that I've been up to.
- Recently went to Wyoming from Michigan to watch the eclipse and got to do a bunch of cool stuff on the way there and back.
Went to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, The Badlands, Mount Rushmore, and Devil's Tower. Definitely the coolest adventure
I've been on in my life thus far.
- Started class back up again, taking a really light class load since I'm trying to balance it with work.
- Looking into upgrading Hemlock's head. I asked Buppa about a remake since her style and quality has improved so much but
unfortunately it looks like I won't get onto her October queue.
- I have a secondary character now with a fursuit coming, he's an African Wild Dog named AsÃ. I'll post his ref sheet once I get back
from class since I'm getting close to having to leave.
Yeah, um. Thanks for reading. Sorry this journal was kind of all over the place, I'm really gonna make an effort to be more active, both on here and elsewhere.

I just wanted to tell you that I know where you are coming from, I was reading half way and you
mentioned that you have a hard time with being active on social media. Honestly there is nothing wrong
with that. It's not complicated to use, it's the fact you cannot keep up with it. I am the same way. I hardly
post anything about myself other than just browse, post interesting stuff, search for photos from meetups,
keep up with upcoming meetups or cons and other stuff etc. You don't have to worry about not posting stuff.
You have nothing really to lose by not doing anything on it, it's not that special. It's just basically showing people
what you do or talk to them about something. I am not judging you for what you write about. I know we don't talk
a lot but I still follow with what you do. You're fine buddy. Just be you, don't worry about what people may think of you.
I kind of enjoyed reading this a bit and I am a fast reader too.
I dunno, I just like sharing things and having an online presence since I'm a little isolated from the larger community where I am.
Makes me feel more integrated into the fandom I guess, haha
I know I could have said it better if I spoke to you in person and just
with anyone I talk to in general.
When you say being isolated from the large community, we are kind of spread out to be honest.
But I agree a lot of us are kind of alone in the real world, so a lot of us tend to socialize online since
it seems to be the only way of connecting with other furs. The only way we can ever really meetup with
each other in real life is either at meetups or conventions.
from what you say. A lot of people can have social struggles and usually it can be anxiety which is usually shyness or being
nervous so that's why it's hard to be outgoing. I used to be that way till I eventually broke out of it. I can socialize pretty well,
be outgoing and I am confident, but I usually keep myself cool.
I will Be honest though, it's usually hard to find the right people to hangout with and befriending them. I know everyone
is Different based off their personality, some are good and Some are not good. That's why I get to experience it and I get
to choose who I want to be friends with.
By the way you shouldn't speak for others when you say *we don't think Of you as anything differently*.
Others may have a different opinion or point about stuff.
I just wanted to say hang in there, and you shouldn't feel pressured to post things if you're uncomfortable.
