it occurs to me that one of the reasons i struggle to get on with social media where the idea is to talk to strangers
is that i really suck at talking to strangers
like, i would not go up to some people that i don’t know who are having a discussion and just insert myself into it
what it if i made a fool of myself?
and i think the same applies online tbh

@0d_billie I have the same problem in meatspace, but not so much here.
Normally, the worst that happens is they ignore me. And that's fine; they're allowed to.

@KatS oh for sure, the barrier to entry (as it were) is far lower
but i still feel a crippling sense of self doubt at my ability to weigh in on anything and be funny, or insightful, or any other way i wanna be 🙃

@0d_billie Can relate, completely.
I think I got over it by weaponising nihilism: I'll be dead sooner than I'd like, so fuck it, let's go ahead anyway. Sometimes people seem to like what I add, which does not harmonise with my self-image, but it's nice anyway.
So consider yourself invited to go ahead and weigh into my public conversations anyway. Besides, you're only going to get funnier and more insightful through practice, no?

@KatS
well it’s either that or quiet solitude forever, waiting for my moment to drop that one absolute zinger
