1. im socially anxious, so if were not close yet, i might be scared to speak up first, talk about my interests, or anything in general. dont push me into talking, it will just make me close off more. i will not stress myself out just because you want me to talk. i tend to go semi / nonverbal, so dont get mad at me over it.
2. im extremely paranoid, and get stressed out easily. dont trigger me on purpose. i dont need to spiral just because you decided to ignore me.
3. im mentally ill & unwell. autumn / winter / overall bad weather can put me in a bad mood. i certainly crave interactions at that time, and might be clingy with close friends.
4. i mostly wont interact first. as mentioned before, im socially anxious, so i wont come up to you at first – or do it only a while later after i gain the courage – so i certainly appreciate the effort to come over to me / text me first. i start interacting first if were close friends, because i get comfortable with people only after a while.
5. dont bring me into uneccessary drama. all beef will be one-sided with me, i will not participate in whatever you have to yap to me about, im not going to argue with you. think you won, or whatever, im just not wasting my time on that. i overall dislike dramas – mine, or my friends. dont bring me into anything that isnt my business, ive had enough situations like that.
6. i might often reply late, due to me being upset or busy. i dont want to lash out on anyone, so dont spam me if i have dnd in my status or whatever. if i dont reply quick but im online, just know im not ignoring you on purpose.
7. dont expect me to open up if we are not close. i barely vent. i might rant about something insignificant, but i dont full on vent usually, and i always ask first. i dont like being pressured to talking about my issues. i need time, not pestering. also, if you want to vent, tell me first. i get triggered by mentions of breakdowns or anything this type. please warn / ask first. i dont mind friends venting, but i need a heads-up.
8. i mostly wont care about your opinion, unless i ask for it or were close. whatever, have your opinion, but dont try forcing it on me, it most likely will upset me. keep your opinions to yourself. as i said, i dont want uneccessary drama.
9. the internet is my safe space, i block freely. im not supposed to be forced to do anything here, and i wont be forcing myself to either, so you shouldnt force me either. i most likely will end up unadding / blocking if you heavily upset me or try to argue with me over nothing.
