Hmm I was dating a guy who stalked me with his secret girlfriend(s) and a polyamory troon crew. Do you want people to post the milk they found or discuss what a profound effect observing forgettable people for a short period of time had on farmers? There's a snooping thread you know

The algorithm constantly throwing up people that give me sour thoughts or made me acknowledge they exist just made me delete lmao plus the amount of local girls I've never heard of that stalk my profiles after I dumped my cheating boyfriend made me feel paranoid. I already had a therapist slander me to an ex gf of another lad before im sorry im so pretty but I didn't get enough validation on my selfies compared to fat whores so im outtie

Are you still friends on socials with your cheating ex? I'll usually peek on the exes of the person I'm dating to see get a better idea of who they really are but the last guy insisted he was totally single, even though his ex was still following him on everything. She was also (literally) the only person following him on spotify kek, so it was a bit obvious they were still seeing each other

to me it's all empty numbers. i'm not that famous but it's tiring having to entertain and talk to moids to have a small chance of getting something free. now i have a boyfriend so i don't do that shit anymore, but it was exhausting having to act like a BPD whore and pretending to be friends with moids just to have free delivered booze or clothes. right now i'm thinking of deactivating my ig account because of how pointless it is, i can't be like the other well adapted normies and sometimes i succumb to the need of posting retarded shit nobody cares about.

I hear that anon

Cultivating an online presence made me develop some hella irrational paranoia and anxiety. Like, I had realistically nothing to fear about, it wasn't like I was getting into drama or groomercord servers or shit. But I feel like being on social media after a while is bound to rot anyone's head. So boom back to severe hermit again with 0 followers, 0 following, 0 posts

I am very good at posting so it’s always been easy for me to build a following on any platform. It’s a double edged sword imo because obviously attention on the internet is fun, but it gets addicting to have people respond to your thoughts and personal life. Maybe it would be different if I was mysterious and only posted pictures of sidewalks and croissants, but I like posting about my life and I enjoy connecting with other internet women who share their lives. When I first quit social media I noticed I would think about my life in terms of “posts”, like if something funny or interesting happened to me I’d immediately start mentally drafting the story to tell online about it. This year I’ve deleted everything and only use LC and a couple discord servers with close friends. I might go back in a year to share my art but for some reason I just feel like I’m done with profiles and posts and mutuals. I got sick of how it’s so addicting to get clicks even though none of it’s real, even my life stories weren’t real because I was carefully choosing which stories to tell and which ones to hide. I even hate when my jokes get screenshotted in the LC caps thread because it gives me that familiar rush of “yay women on the internet think I’m funny” that I would get from Twitter, it’s so stupid. I’ve made lifelong friends from social media that are now real life friends and I wouldn’t trade them for anything, but I do regret how many years of my life I’ve wasted just… posting. I say this like I’m not blogposting right now, but you know what I mean. I don’t think it’s worth it to cease lurking unless you want to join a specific community and make likeminded friends.

not milk per se, more of an introspective look at how using social media has affected people, like if someone joined just to find other people into the same stuff as them, but ended up getting hooked on numbers and started clout chasing and trying to make their account some kind of personal brand, or got worried over how unhinged cancel culture can be at times, and tried making themselves small and agreeable and acting like whatever's in so they weren't left out.

it doesn't have to be all negative though if you have something positive to share. anything that personally involves you and social media, your experiences, thoughts on it, etc.
