@cooperationiskey: I see. While it's nice to have only one username, though it does have some disadvantages I suppose. Facebook isn't my forte (despite most of my family are on there) since I seldom use it although it has its pros and cons.

Well holy moly, that's really fortunate to become friends with people you knew for more than 2/5/10/etc. years. ( o. o ) Some of my former classmates whom I befriended with during my high school years have already changed their personality/attitude and ignored me after we graduated from high school. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, I agree with you. Clinging onto the past doesn't do well to your well being, sure you can reminiscent the past but moving on to the present is better at least. Sorry if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.

@cooperationiskey: I see, same here if it weren't for Facebook Marketplace despite I have already used another website/app that focus on selling preloved items. And true, I'm starting to think Facebook is a bigger time-waster than Tiktok (I don't really hate it, only using it for watching funny/wholesome videos depending on what you want to search) and Youtube (again, same reason as the former lol), and how I really hate FB now requires you to put your real name instead of an alias name. >:I It's like as if they don't want you to have anonymity/privacy.

It seems making friends online sounds a bit easier than making friends in real life lmao. And I see, you're absolutely right! Especially those who used to be bullies or being really mean/rude to others and still refuse to change after they became 21 or so.

Ohh I see. Wish you lots of good luck on improving ^^

@cooperationiskey: Ah, that's understandable. *nods* And yeah, I hate the enforcement of using a real name (even more ironic when the site thinks your real name isn't your real name at all for no explaination/reason).

Same. I guess it has to do with the fact you don't have to meet up with them IRL and some people do seem to talk comfortably with their online friends than their IRL friends and family. And yep, I agree. *nods* Finding people with same interests can be a challenge, hmmm..... if the internet didn't exist, lots of people would be forced to go out and make friends in person which.... it depends on situation. :vivi_sweat: Because not everyone are comfortable to make friends IRL. Then again, social media sites/apps wouldn't exist if that happens. :o

You're very welcome ^^

@Ava: I love Stardew Valley; it's so darned adorable! And also quite the time vortex, I find; I boot it up and suddenly it's like six hours later and the sun has set. :vanora_xd:

Also I said it on a certain other site, but your hamster is adorable. :3


@ChiffonOrange: Oh yes, I know people who've had to prove they're them to keep their accounts open. It's ridiculous.

I have a tendency to get talked over or accidentally talk over people myself, so I'm often paranoid of interrupting. Having a text chat option really does help!

I don’t really have many hobbies. ;_; I used to read a lot but lately I don’t have the energy to do that. It kind of takes a lot out of me; I feel tired and sluggish…I used to draw but I don’t have the motivation to do that lately either. Also I stopped playing games.

I mainly just watch Netflix, DVDs and YouTube and cook sometimes. And go to my cooking course classes. My life is so dull and boring. >.<

@CooperationIsKey: I am actually pretty bored and depressed; I’m still trying to process my online trauma…

No I haven’t addressed my lack of interest/motivation with my psychologist but I will in my next session with them. On that note, today I went to a convention and dressed up as Sabrina Spellman from the tv show, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and interestingly enough, I picked up two books, one being about witches and another about wizards, both being from the same author. I’m excited to get back into reading. :3

I used to bake a lot of sweet stuff, like cookies when I lived at my parents’ house but I stopped because I can’t figure out how to use my apartment oven. Besides that, I tend to cook what I know: scrambled eggs in a pan with tomatoes in simmering tomato juices, cooked spinach with a dash of salt and olive oil, boiled cubed potatoes, frozen vegetables, etc. I need to find new recipes to try…my food is rather plain, lol. >.<

@Juliette:
Ah, yeah, that's understandable. That kinda stuff can really have an impact on your enjoyment of hobbies. The convention sounds fun, though! I haven't been to one in ages. I hope the books are good! They sound interesting. :3

I love baking, moreso than cooking meals, but my waistline doesn't like it very much lol. You can't figure out your oven? Gosh, that sounds like a huge pain in the butt.

I just fairly recently got into collecting new recipes to try, myself; even have a nifty lil' Moleskine journal I keep them in. I know, while it's kind of a rabbit hole, Pinterest can be really good for finding new recipes. Otherwise you can kinda just look up ingredients you enjoy and see what recipes pop up for it! There's pretty much endless options on the internet. :)

@CooperationIsKey: I actually love baking more than cooking meals too. I love pretty much anything sweet and it makes me happy and less stressed when I bake. ^^

Never mind, I figured out how to use my apartment oven. xD I made bacon, tomato and cheese pizza which I haven’t made in a while. :3
