I mean honestly I feel isolated always, and social media makes my isolation worse sometimes. I’ve always felt very strange and like I don’t necessarily belong a certain place so I find it hard to truly connect. I spent a lot of time on the internet and talked to strangers as a kid and I found comfort in not truly knowing these people. They didn’t know the “real” me either. I think people are more obsessed with creating a certain persona and presenting it on social media.

It’s odd because despite no longer being in school, I still feel like the odd one out against my peers (in terms of using social media and things like that). I really try to have fun with it but I am left feeling strange, like I’m being observed like a zoo animal. I don’t engage with anyone I follow despite the fact that I know them all personally. And I feel like I’m nothing like any of them. And not in a quirky fun way. I just don’t feel like I’m experiencing life in the way that other people in their 20s are.
This is a complete mess of rec but its just a few thoughts I have been having. Just one more reason why I love this app so much as opposed to the others.

Lately, I have found much less of a calling to be on social media. I don't know a time where I checked my socials and walked away feeling happier. Do you? I have to be on my phone a fair amount due to work but I catch myself automatically clicking into apps out of boredom and I'm trying to stop that behaviour. I see the good in social media, the ability to stay connected to friends and be in-the-know on everything-- I think the whole point is that you feel left out when you're not on it.. so you're sucked in constantly. But that's not reality. I could disassociate for hours online and look up to the world around me and think, where the hell was I? I don't want to feel like a bystander watching other people's lives for a solid chunk of my day. Engaging more in the real world is a priority for me at this time in my life.

Warning pointless rant to the internet void:
Ever since moving to college I don’t have my friends I did in highschool that mattered so much to me. It has been really hard to find people who want to actually stick with me through everything, do things with me, and hear what I have to say. I honestly always feel like a last resort here. Everyone will casually cancel plans or flake or ghost and I’m tired of it.

I change my appearance multiple times a year. I cut my hair and dye it. I try new styles. I get tattoos and piercings. I try new food. I do things for ME. I want to find my true self and interests and each day I get closer to who I really want to be. I feel I learn something new about myself everyday even if it’s small. (I’m depressed + anxious too and it can be so hard but I remind myself that I can’t care about everyone else and their opinions I need to do what is right for me. and no it is not selfish to do things for you).
