Low self esteem, birdsite 

So, I find myself doing the same thing I was doing on Birdsite, namely, watching all the people I'm following talk about their lives and their thoughts and everything going on, and i just…sit here and watch, like a social vampire, consuming content and trying to mistake it for actually being connected with people. And I don't much like it, but I kinda don't know how to stop it. I don't really think much about myself, so I find it hard to put myself out into the world.

@kelseyhusky *shares cookies* Don't be hard on yourself for not being inclined to post. There's no posting requirement here, and I think you'll find that folks will be somewhat more understanding of the ways of the depression-anxiety complex, 'kay?

Hell, just knowing that you're reading in case I feel like posting... that helps, seriously. I know I'm never yelling into a void here, even if nobody responds. It's all good.
