Boundaries

~milf_god

One of the biggest things I've noticed since spending more time on the small web is the sheer lack of boundaries many people have on social media. Spending more time on here and other obscure sites has really put a lot of things in perspective for me. Someone you know could quite literally talk about you in a very very rude way, while making sure that they word their post in a way to make that you know that they are talking about you, and expect you to not block them or remove them from your page or something. It's insanely bizarre. That's like someone making weird indirect jabs at you while in your house and still expect to be invited back for your birthday party next week. I am just going to say blunty that that is weird as fuck. At least on there, it's easier to tell who has friends in real life and those who do not.

Could I be referring to something that had happened to me recently? Maybe, but if anything it would remind me why I don't like being on there any more and push me further away from the cesspool that is social media. (Fun fact: I am sorta an astrology nut and I think that it's actually pretty funny these ideas and topics are popping up during the Saturn retrograde. How fitting.)

Bartender, I would just like some water tonite actually. Simple, refreshing, and rejuvenating. I hope you are all having a good night. Wishing you well.

All I know is if it ever happens to me here, I'm hoping it's from

because I'm certain it'll be the very very best cleverly rude way possible.

Im also slowly getting used to the idea of using the web to converse, share, and not just as a means to vent my frustrations. Sure I still vent, but I at least try to be constructive about it
