I wish I could explain why birdsite feels so much less painful for me to use nowadays than Mastodon...

I miss feeling like I could be open and talk about things and not feel crushingly like I don't belong here anymore...

@Motodrachen I feel like I never have much to say about anything, and that most people are off doing things with other people or talking with their other friends, so I don't really matter or belong with them...

And ... even if people notice, like you... I worry that talking with me is exhausting, or burdening, or just not interesting, and so I feel like I just shouldn't be here intruding this way...

@Raspberryfloof I actually have a really easy fix for your problem.
Post positive things.
Maybe not positive feelings you have, or positive things in Your life. Those are thin on the ground.
Go thru the Fediverse. Thru your timeline.
Find positive, genuine, kind things to say and say them, without shame or disguise.
See how many kindnesses you can deliver in a day. Get good at crafting them, and find who they belong to.
And do it every day.
