unfortunately i've come to believe fairly strongly that online community is deeply insufficient for the human experience, which makes it hard to stay attuned to the online communities i care about

none of the friends I most seek to emulate are deeply involved in online spaces, they skim across many cuz that's where the people are — not because the space itself is good to hang out in

I've been considering lately the intersection of BPD, cPSTD, ADHD, and the modern colloquial understanding of Autism (especially as I relate to those labels) and I just see shades of these symptoms absolutely everywhere online. anxious/disorganzed attachment, everywhere. seems bad

this is a good thread and puts into words a general sense i’ve been trying to express for a while - the feeling that for lack of a better phrase i am the wrong kind of mentally ill for most online communities
