thought i should mention it ahead of time. why august 20 specifically? because that's when i go back to school. school is stressful and so is social media, and i believe removing one stress inducing thing will help me deal with the other. (i don't plan on going through yet another mental crisis because i was irresponsible and thought everything would work out in the end. it never does.) until then, i'll (try to) keep doing what i was already doing.
toggle lore?
Phronemophobia
I cannot begin to imagine having internet back when I was a child. Outside of school, I mostly hung out in my room playing video games and watching TV. If I had a computer and was on social media as a dumb, know-nothing kid again, I'd be worrying over every silly little thing everyone else was talking about and taking every negative response to my remarks personally, rather than quietly playing my Nintendo and spoiling my dogs with hugs and cuddles. A cozy bubble of ignorance, I suppose.
Hopefully, your NG experience has not been adding more social media stress in recent weeks.
