Maybe now I can shut up about this
I kind of hate that a social networking site requires so much thought and worrying, "what if this," and, "what if that."
So. Plurk.
I hate it.
So, so much. It makes me feel completely ill a good deal of the time. I've held off on saying that because I don't want people to think it's because of them specifically. I'm not in the business of hurting feelings and that's not what I'm about here. If you're on my plurk timeline, I consider you a friend and I am glad you're in my life.
But, on the other hand, it's complete sensory overload. It's every single thought, every single bad thing, every complaint, every sad story. It's very difficult to appreciate someone when I feel they're screaming in my face, and that's essentially what plurk is. It enables over-sharing and it's not like I haven't been guilty of this, but I'm an introvert and a very private person. I cannot handle sensory overload.

seventhe said it best with, "I love you, leave me alone. I love you, from a distance. I love you, give me some fucking space. I love you, now go away." That's completely me and I'm tired of feeling like distancing myself from plurk is being a bad friend. I will always give people avenues to contact me. I don't ignore people who message me or text me. That needs to be enough. Plurk is exhausting, and I need to put my energy toward other things. (I realise the quote and what came after it can be seen as contradictory but it's really not; it all boils down to me needing time and days to myself. We will still be friends if we don't talk for a week.)
I also don't like how I am and how I act on plurk, but that's just for me. I know how to fix it. There's no point in talking about that.
So I guess all that's left is for me to... delete it.

Also yes, I constantly worry about how I come off as when I write things because god forbid someone take what I write the wrong way or get a horrible first impression and BLAH way too stressful. I haven't been on plurk in ages and I'm just glad that I'm not anymore. I have all the people I care about friended on dreamwidth! And on gmail/AIM/tumblr!!! so no more plurk for me, and since plurk is being horrible to Jes, you have the absolute right to boot it out of your life! /cuddles Jes!!!
