You ever get that feeling of wanting to leave a community because you feel you just don't fit in? Like, everyone else interacts with each other just fine, but don't and feel like you just don't belong with them? Yeah, I've been fighting off this feeling lately. /1

It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough that I had to air it out. I also wanted others that feel the same to speak up since I want them to be heard and told that they are not alone and they are also valid and loved.
Sometimes you just have to speak up. /1
It really sucks. I'm still in servers I never talk in because I feel like MAYBE one day, I will again, if I ever did.
Thanks for sharing your experience, arkady!
You are someone I can easily talk to, so I'm glad we know each other. You're such a great person and whenever I see you in my notifs, a smile tends to follow. Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate you a lot, I hope you know that.
You're pretty rad and I'm excited about your art 🧡
I'm not a big replier, but if I don't see you posting I always check your account to see if I missed something ;-;
People care, kanok
It's so hard trying to convince yourself that you belong when you notice little patterns that might say otherwise

It's just something that I've gotten used to, more or less.
And right now, I'm actively fighting the feeling of leaving them.
I hate it.
It sucks royally, though.
