one of these days i'll learn to comment on things more. i feel like i've just been trained and conditioned to be a passive observer. maybe it's pure anxiety, idk. i used to be way more talkative on dA

i think part of it is there was a few years between turning 18 and the coof where i was one of those obnoxious reddit types that'd get in trouble for unsolicited advice and condescending critique. and it happened so often that i eventually just clammed up for fear of doing it again
ah gosh that's relatable. I too used to be more talkative on dA like back in the mid 2000's and even added people to AIM or MSN messenger and chatted them up like no problem. I have no idea what happened with me
i think the overall vibes on the internet definitely started going downhill mid 2010s, when things started getting enshittified and...the THING happened in '16, making internet bloodsports a way to gain clout and putting everyone on edge ever since
