Uggggh. I think I’ve reached the point in my Social Media Vegetating Cycle where I’ve spent so much time online that my filters are wearing out

and I’m becoming more likely to post replies to things just because a reply popped into my head– not because it’s helpful or wise or clever or well-thought-out, or something I feel strongly about at all– just that the barrier between random thoughts and typing is beginning to erode

usually this cycle ends when someone gets snappy at me for some reply I posted, and I go “…wait, why the hell did I even post that” and my social anxiety about people being mad at me kicks into overdrive and I self-isolate from social media for a while

but I’ve lately gotten a bit thicker skin against people expressing annoyance at me. So the cycle might be getting longer now

However, I don’t want my thick skin to reach the point where I become the sort of person who makes a whole lot of Tumblr enemies

And I also have a lot of non-tumblr things I want to get done that are being… somewhat impaired by my brain being like this

Might try to stay offline a little bit more today
