I can't cope with the importance of social media

[Deleted member 24813]

Back when I was a kid I didn't have to worry about status or bullshit. We all just wanted to have fun. I just want to go back to my early childhood so fucking much.

Now everything is like a fucking contest on who can be the bigger narcissist online.

I just made an Instagram account, but I can't even be bother to use it. It is so exhausting and soulless. I only posted some stories. I sat there and watch to see if anyone saw it like an autist. I just feel like it's all so fucking fake. At least on this forum I find some funny shit.

Another problem

I CAN'T NEVER BE A NEUROTYPICAL MY GENES WON'T ALLOW IT. IT'S OVER FOR ME.

you don't need to post that much lmao, just post whenever you feel like posting. most people who use instagram post maybe once a month, unless you're a public figure or you are trying to be a public figure, there is no reason to put that much thought into having an instagram. you don't even need to use it often besides uploading stuff, all you need to do is simply have a social media account these days.

I have to farm Instagram followers though, but I can't really be bother too. I don't like posting on social media. That and I don't have shit to post because I rot inside all day.

It's hard being non-nt because you don't find the things nt do interesting.

Never had FB, insta, snap, tiktik. I'm social media free. These are your window to the world and meeting IRL.

Only have anon Twitter (for tweeting famous people) and anon Reddit (for keeping up to date with specialised topics and viral shit) .

Just WhatsApp and LinkedIn for real life. Not really social media.

That mogs not gonna lie.

Even though my social media is shit the girls still try to talk to me irl

Of course since I am an aspie it goes no where. I probably should get tested

I dropped out of that social media lifestyle after statusmaxxing hard during my high school years. It was good for my mental health but it did destroy my social status significantly. People legit forget I existed n shit innit.

Yeah man

If you are not on social media you basically don't exist Everyone irl is just in their own little bubble. No one notices you unless you are relevant or attractive. Sad world we live in It's gonna get even worse from here on out.

Yes if you don't keep up with your statusmaxxing it literally all goes to waste. Ever heard of the phrase "falling off"?

Not being NT is a gift. You just gotta learn how to wield it. And you're right about social media being soulless. Cut it out of your life. It's not compatible with people like us. You're gonna have to accept that you're gonna have to figure out how to get what you want from this life without social media. With a will there's a way.
