@Paige814 Here is the answer.π And the cure.
@FrankCannon I need to make some online friends here like me who are ADHD, Aspergers, trying to be a good person and hating everything at the same time lol.
@Paige814 There's quite a few neurodivergent here,not too sure if there's a # for it.I know for a fact that there's no abuse dished out for it here,unlike other platforms.
@FrankCannon I'm not adverse to a bit of drama and gossip but X is just getting too much its just showing the worst side of everyone and its making me into a sharp tongued shrew in kind, I am sharp tongued but I am kind, but it keeps bringing out the worst in me. Funny thing is, I only trust this platform now, hence im here, roaming around, its just so calm and you feel safer (that sounds snowflakey but you may know what I mean)
@FrankCannon I am going to sound mental but I can feel it coming over me with everything I type, i see one thing I dont like and it puts me in a bad mood and the tongue sharpens lol. I seek deep connections and its just not happening over there, not anymore anyway and the only dms i get are from women porn bots wrongly assuming Im either male or gay and wanting money π
@FrankCannon you are telling me what my rational, sensible brain tries to tell me, and i keep ignoring it!! Then I snap back and log off feeling like I need a shower πI think i'll just read and try and slowly deprogram my social media trauma!
@Paige814 It can take time but it's doable and wortg it.I only ever pop over to keep in touch with people I actually know.....I rarely interact with randos there.
@FrankCannon my problem is, is I get too involved in things and forget that online friends arent always what they seem to be and dont have the same morals etc. Then ir reread what ive written to someone and think..'you are as bad, wtf did you write that for?' then it repeats to fade! I can literally give myself the ick on there then I log on the next day and it happens again! I think its a pattern i need to break this yr
@FrankCannon ive just been more vulnerable on here than I have in 3 years on twitter, I could never say this sort of stuff over there, Id get dragged. I think there is a message in there somewhere
@Paige814 You'll always find compassionate ears willing to listen and help here.
@FrankCannon you lot are lovely
@Paige814 We do our best.π
@FrankCannon you do great and ive just cancelled x :)
@Paige814 Cold turkey?π I suppose that's one way of doing it.
@Paige814 It's like breaking any habit,set yourself goals,expect set-backs but don't kick yourself too much over them. Deprogramming takes time and effort.
@FrankCannon I am going to take your advice here, and start to stop being on there so much and break it down. A sharp cull isnt the way, I just want to back out of the place slowly now if that makes sense. Thank you so much kind stranger for your support
@Paige814 Far better off at least cutting your time down on it gradually and only interact with anyone on it who you know isn't going to wind you up.That's the beauty of this place....you'll see disagreements occasionally but they rarely blow up the way they do elsewhere. If they do,block/mute and that's it resolved permanently.SM has sadly conditioned too many people to act like twats.
