Why is it so much easier writing this post and casting it out into the void than it ever will be to strike up an interesting DM one-on-one? It is crippling self-doubt? It’s not lack of imagination. Trying to strike up a conversation feels like being alone in a room and an attractive person walks up to you and stands and stares you directly in the eye, awkwardly waiting on you to be the height of intellect and wit. What should i say? I want to reflect things that have meaning to me, but i don’t want to be too personal and intrusive. Small talk is a violation on humanity, at least in the metaverse, where it has no purpose. What is the least amount of words i can use to be funny, curious and intriguing, where my person of interest will be bound to reciprocate that curiosity?

Posting is easier in terms of finding common ground based on things shared. If you noticed that the same people has been commenting on your post often enough, it gives the sense that you may be able to talk with them privately (and not feel too bad spending coins initiating).

Breaking from introversy "matters for who it matters for." It's directly proportional to one's attractiveness, which determines if people will even bother acknowledging your existence, or if your failures at communicating effectively will be as much of a deterrence to those you try to engage with.

Overthinking is the introverts public enemy number 1. It’s hard to quell, and seems to never cease. Sometimes it’s best to just let chaos take over. Shoot your shot, and build from whatever happens.

Not gonna bs you most guys are happy when you just say hi. I’m a pretty dry texter, more of a phone conversation person, but if someone just sends a message even if it’s just hey I know they are interested and will try to make conversation.

It always seems easier to share with others rather than one on one and the metaverse is making changing to how we communicate with one another on vast topics. One on one has pros but one on one can lead to other things nowadays 🤷 stay imaginate and tell self doubt to but out sometimes 🤪

Not a fan of small talk either, and also relatively introverted... I will say that at least this app features a few useful ways for people to easily showcase interests and personality. I like to dive in by asking an icebreaker or two based on mutuality, and I usually do this in a lightly humorous way, as I can be very funny. You gotta start somewhere.

My recommendation if you were to approach me: Talk about what you want, ask every question that comes to mind. I'll admit if I'm not willing to share something just yet, I would respect the same answer to any question someone is uncomfortable with answering. Do consider though: Sharing almost nothing about you can make it difficult for anyone to connect. Meaningful questions to me are a sign of interest. If no interest is shown, I struggle to get invested in the potential connection, and will probaly forget someone wants to connect. Also, probably a good idea to stick with questions you wouldn't mind answering or sharing a story about. Daily living, what I did last week, what I did years ago, and potentially life changing events are all things I would share stories of if asked. But that is the catch: I need to be prompted to share those stories

Find someone you trust to be responsible, and talk to them. They wont screw you over and they will take it as a compliment that you are willing to open up! Just go for it! Send that one opening message and roll with it!

Me, myself, & I is a tight circle. In as much as I cherish those who love me back, can't always count on people to have my back. Walking through hell with only yourself and God will teach you a lot about who you are.

I used to be quite talkative when I was younger: now I find a lot of conversations useless or boring, and I love silence.

The only thing that makes me really go on and on is talking about deep stuff, like literature, philosophy, politics etc. But still I tend not to share stuff as often as before. Did it happen to you as well?

For the delulu introverts

Tell me about the most delulu situation where you think someone's interested in you but you get too nervous to try to do anything so you don't know if it's truly interest or your mind at work. A few days ago I was coming home from a concert on the train with my bestie. A guy was sitting on the... read more

An underestimated assumption

They say "Go big or go home" like going home is a bad thing. I WILL go home. Gladly. All my stuff is there and it's cozy and peaceful and there aren't people 😂
