This has to be the most pathetic thread on all of the interwebs.
I feel like lining the lot of you up, and kicking the holy shit out of you all.

As long as I'm first in line there won't be any trouble!! LolThis has to be the most pathetic thread on all of the interwebs.

Better be careful he doesn't come back at you with this:
I could have wrote this, EXCEPT I'm talkative IRL, too. I am an explainer. And I hid a lot in school...I have always been a mouse. I had a bit of a DGAF armor to get through school because I couldn't make myself invisible, but if you look up skittish in the dictionary, there's probably a picture of me hiding behind something.
When I first got online, I was enthralled with the idea that I would finally fit in somewhere because now there was literally a whole world of people out there and all I had to do was find my "tribe." Oh, I was so young. Turns out people still suck, so I figured if you can't beat em, find someone to be your bulldog and let them beat em for you. I'm embarrassed to say it felt good to be accepted for "letting off steam" at people who appeared to be bigger losers than myself.
It didn't take long to realize it wasn't really doing anything for me, so I've pretty much stuck with Wil Wheaton's law - don't be a dick. So, despite some random lashing out, I try to be who I am as much as possible online. The only difference between me in real life and online is that I say a lot more online. I'm still incredibly shy and skittish in person - my RL "friends" probably haven't heard me say as much in the past 10 years as I've said in this single post, lol. I've even known people IRL who can't remember my real name because they only "know" me by what I post online. And I'm cool with that, I don't need people to validate me anymore so the internet is just for amusing myself instead of justifying my existence
So, I do post my coffees and breakfasts. I have followers, they have needs. What can I say?@Eschient and @t-dub Wow! I get it. I totally get it. Since moving to Washington State from Birmingham, Alabama, I've finally really found myself living in a place where I feel I can be myself and everyone is ok with it. And since this move coincided with my newly disabled life, I'm really just so different than I was before, and so much better in so many ways.
But moving 2500 miles immediately after my spinal fusion surgery that I am still recovering from and learning how to live my life so much differently than before has left me with less contact with people than I would like. And I now have so much less in common with friends and acquaintances who are so far away both geographically and philosophically.
So this leaves me dependent upon some community for support, friendship, etc, and I've found it here. I've pretty much shut down my facebook account and just let my wife monitor that side of the internet for our family. I've replaced my zillion facebook friends with my instagram account. And it's not like hardly anybody even sees that: just a couple friends from here, a few artists I know, and a few very select friends. But no family or former work colleagues, and definitely not spouses of acquaintences and all their friends of friends. All those people can just look at my facebook and the once a month update I might or might not make.
So I really like to share photos of my day on instagram, and when I need to get something off my chest or put more words down, I come to some off topic forum or one of my favorite vaporizer discussions and find what I need here. My username is in my sig, but please make an effort to let me know you are a FC friend if your username is not memorable from here, because I will likely bump random followers who I cannot figure out the connection.
I'm not remotely desperate for instagram followers or facebook friends or whatever, but I do think I take interesting photos, and you probably won't see a photo of my lunch or take-out coffee order unless I have a damn good reason for it.
@EveryDayAmnesiac Thanks for creating this discussion. There are places on the internet where I just have to keep my mouth shut because people there really need to hear how completely full of bullshit they are, but I just don't have the energy for it. So yes, that inner online asshole exists inside of me, but I keep him in check for the most part.
@Eschient I pretty much follow the Wil Wheaton law as well, but can admit to occasional lashing out here and there, but I have learned that after lashing out, not to return to the discussion. It turns out that is the best way to both be a troll and to out-troll the other trolls.
Try it sometime: Go online and tell someone that they suck balls, and then explain exactly why they suck so badly. Then, simply passively observe the resulting aftermath. It's quite funny to watch someone fight with the shadow of something that isn't there anymore. It's really quite fun once you learn this one weird trick to annoying internet trolls.
This is the most AMAZING quote ever!! I LOVE YOU!! Shit! you are fucking AMAZING with words!!@ChippyMalone I couldn't agree with your entire post more. I'm glad you've found a place where it's your world and your rules as it were. I've had some serious back and forth with this whole social media thing and being "real." I guess it's because back in the day, when the internet was young and geeky, the interaction was an investment for people. It was like having a conversation in a coffee house or something. Then it got popular and socializing became a lot more like drunken college kids shouting random inside jokes at each other across a crowded dance floor. I really tried to get involved with Facebook for family and friends, but it really just makes me anxious, overwhelmed and fake.
I guess if people want to get to know me, they're just going to have to do it in more than 140 characters and without memes.

So basically, you shouldn't post?I shouldnt post when I am drunk, stoned, tired, hungover, hungry or within the 1st hour of arising.
I don't understand this.
Any thoughts?
