Yeah, I've never been a particularly "social" fan, because I don't write fic (any more), I don't do art or graphics, and I only occasionally respond to my fandoms with anything thoughtful, so on LJ/DW I never really felt as comfortable as I do on Tumblr. I do think the style makes it difficult to have one-on-one conversations sometimes (especially since asks disappear after you send*), and I'm still really bad at striking up a conversation with someone I hardly know, but I actually get to feel like I'm participating when I reblog something! I don't have to say why I like it or write a long-winded rec or anything; just a reblog. The end. No pressure.

It's a really lovely way to follow people, read interesting conversations/meta, and share what I like without feeling pressured to comment or add something. Plus, because the notes don't count the number of likes/comments/reblogs to that individual, but over all of Tumblr, there's no way for me to know if I'm talking to someone potentially already overwhelmed with conversation, or someone who just got reblogged from someone popular. It weirdly makes me feel more open to talking to people, because I guess I can't tell who's Tumblr famous and who isn't, so I don't have this weird fear that I'm going to be just another insignificant person to them or get read as a sycophant instead of an interested person, or whatever thing I overthink about at the time (if it isn't obvious by now, I have some social anxiety, lol). I know Tumblr isn't for everyone, and I still feel like a n00b after all this time, but I really enjoy most of my time there.

*Speaking of being a n00b and asks disappearing, does anyone know of any extension that fixes this?

from what I've heard xkit has an 'outbox' now? But I don't actually have xkit myself (my computer is outdated and I can't even update my browser); I just compose my fanmail messages in a writing program I already had since me and another tumblr user tend to send each other messages that break 3k in word count.
