F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)
Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.
Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required.
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.
That's about it, though!
I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!
General:
Halloween costumes
Fandom-general:
Porn comics
F/F recs
Guilty pleasures
Fandom-specific:
Girl Meets World

Re: What's your problem?
(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)For me, I think it is the fact that I'm not great on picking up on social cues, and am not particularly adept at off-the-cuff comments, which means I am not someone who feels confident initiating/organising conversations and events, or comes across as particularly lively or witty or on point. I can be pedantic about my favourite topics, so in an effort to self-censor, I can end up being too guarded. I don't have the disarmingly charmingly naive thing going on, because past experiences have led me to be somewhat misanthropic. I'm very intense and sarcastic about things when I feel comfortable sharing, so just add alcohol or letting down my guard, and that puts most people off. I have the stubborn pride thing that a lot of bullied smart kids have, so I can look intimidating, if I don't immediately come off as awkward, so the awkward kids don't feel comfy going near me either. Ehhhh *waves hands about* I am still trying to figure this out and I'm middle aged.... currently I have very few friends but am too busy to try making more but I'm so damn lonely... all I want is a crew of people to run with and laugh and feel comfortable with...
