I don't think I asked to be roasted Amir

splashton.posts.art•90 days ago

yea. never been addicted to internet brownie points, it's just the most convenient source of quick serotonin for my starved adhd brain

erikasfavlesbo.bsky.social•90 days ago

The secret third option of my online friends being in more constant contact with me so I must habitually check all my hell sites to get any kind of a social life.

Hooray!

reomc.bsky.social•90 days ago

Probably.

nightscurse.bsky.social•89 days ago

I feel...called out lol 😅

sillygeminirot.bsky.social•90 days ago

Amir, you good buddy?

rowan42.bsky.social•90 days ago

I did not need to be called out like this

betti2024.bsky.social•90 days ago

Fandoms are my safe space from RL, but because of all the negativity on every website, lot of us standing in the middle and trying to hold it together...
Would be nice to create something positive/funny here, like we did on that other website. How would Al annoy Lucifer...or instead, bro time?❤️☺️

I don't know to be honest My "addiction to social media" is to find friends who likes Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss but also can be someone I can talk to when my depression gets bad but also knows that I am autistic with siblings who hate my guts no thanks to my mom making me out to be the bad guy

khaosguillotine.bsky.social•90 days ago

This feels personal anyways what’s everyones total screen time for last week mine was 123 hours 🤪🤪🤪🤪

khaosguillotine.bsky.social•90 days ago

oh my god I just realized that’s only 6 hours a day I’m not on my phone

ahelluvalesbian.bsky.social•90 days ago

I already shared that with you privately I ain’t humiliating myself here. Nice try.

itsonlytea.bsky.social•89 days ago

Mine was 30 😭

ajscdt.bsky.social•90 days ago

Mines 70h a week (idk how I feel like I'm on my phone more than I apparently am)

wizardlynds.bsky.social•90 days ago

Listen here-

misscin101.bsky.social•89 days ago

These tweets are getting a lot more targeted.

Maybe the real friends/targeted ads were the parasocial relationships we made along the way.

theflowergirl.bsky.social•90 days ago

How dare you call me out like that.

correlance.bsky.social•90 days ago

Are you "addicted to social media"? Or is social media just the most convenient and effective way for your autistic or disabled ass to communicate with others, fulfill your interaction needs, raise awareness, educate others, reduce stigma, and foster empathy?

inflatablealastor.bsky.social•89 days ago

Um…….. I’d fight this but unfortunately im chronically online…

lho-arts.bsky.social•90 days ago

Why do us like that, Amir?

justanasset.bsky.social•89 days ago

Why do you call us all out in such hurtful ways…. 😅

That was supposed to be a secret. 🤣

silifrey.bsky.social•90 days ago

Perhaps I’m not strictly addicted to social media (excluding messengers, as I do need to talk to my friends on the other side of the globe), but to my phone or pc, absolutely. I have everything there—music, art, and my Hellaverse world. And I work remotely, so I don’t really have a choice 🫠

kaybeelikestodraw.bsky.social•89 days ago

Getting too real here, Amir.

thecin3phile.bsky.social•89 days ago

Social Media is how I meet people with similar interests as me although I never showed my face.

ilyado.bsky.social•90 days ago

why so personal

ilyado.bsky.social•90 days ago

okbro I've been thinking about this for the past 2 hours, it's almost 12am man I don't think I'm getting any sleep this night

downonthepharm.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yes.

thephantomthief.bsky.social•90 days ago

2nd one tbh

impkittyk.bsky.social•90 days ago

Eh both things can be true. “Addicted” because it’s the easiest escape and certain platforms fuel creativity. If a new coping mechanism is learned then the cycle can break buuuut until then 🤷‍♀️

mitchpfenva.bsky.social•90 days ago

I don't know if I was ready for this question today

sharkybite.bsky.social•90 days ago

Amir please stop attacking me like this

It isnt very demure

evandox.bsky.social•89 days ago

For me it’s just like…I’m addicted to news. I want to be in the know. I feel like social media is the only way I can be.

nerdgasmsnkandi.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yes

camwhataconcept.bsky.social•90 days ago

jenmur001.bsky.social•89 days ago

Very disregulated.

twiggietime.bsky.social•89 days ago

Why would u say this?

rebeccakitty88.bsky.social•89 days ago

My bf constantly jokes about wanting to take my phone away from me. He hates that I’m on it all the time. I just can’t help it. Idk if it’s part of my anxiety, habit or both…🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m also trying to get out of my shell a bit.
