Rambling Rosie's Retreat

@PrettyLilPussy19 is correct. You owe Lit nothing.

Likewise the people and PM's here. Message when you can, and feel like it. Anyone worth your while will just be happy hear from you. If anyone makes you feel anything else, then fuck em.

I hope all my friends know that they can reach out to me whenever. And I will with them, when I feel like I can. And in the meantime.

Like, heart, and wow away...
 
It sounds like a lot of posting, while enjoyable, can leave you needing some quiet. I think that’s perfectly normal, especially for introverts. And it sounds like you take care of yourself by stepping back for a while. And then, when you start to miss posting, you go back to being more actively involved. That seems like a healthy approach to me.

What do you mean when you say it always feels like you should be doing the opposite? For example, do you feel overwhelmed by a lot of posting? Guilty or missing out if you’re not? I think you might be doing what is right for you at the time, but maybe second guessing yourself as to why you’re doing it. Don’t know if this makes any sense.


I’m also an overthinker and far from my own best cheerleader. I often find myself in a similar situation, where I am craving both active interaction and quiet observation. But I think my feelings stem more from the pull between taking chances and interacting and the safety of staying in my comfort zone and being more of an observer who mainly leaves reactions.

I will reply to both of you tomorrow (when I'm sober) but I just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤️
 
I'm having different ones everytime I go out! 🤣

Much to my sister's annoyance, who just wants to drink tea 24/7.

I'm not sure we're actually related... 😉🤣
I have a friend who - whenever we go out to a restaurant, especially to an Indian for some reason - always asks for a cup of tea! Like why?

Sorry Ang, it was a bonus day off for the schools yesterday and I didn't have a chance to come back to this.

Oh I'm definitely an introvert. It just sucks that I get social anxiety even online! Very annoying.

Yeah overwhelmed. But also I worry that I'm saying or doing the wrong thing. Like I'm being serious when it's a silly topic or vice versa. I do feel guilty too because I enjoy this weird, pervy corner of the net very much but I just can't be as present as I'd like to be. But I'm working on finding a balance.

Staying in your comfort zone is a good way to describe things. I started joining in more to get myself out of mine and over time I've slowly retreated.
Wish I could just adjust the settings in my brain you know so I wouldn't focus on stuff like this that probably doesn't even matter.
