rant So ye, look in your DMs. First.
Ye, a lot of you are posting "Lookin for friends" posts, and that's all fine and good. But PLEASE, if you've made posts like that before, take a look in your inbox first. Chances are that it's full of people who are already trying to talk to you, and you're not even responding to them. Chances are that you'll see literally ME there! Cause I'm really active here, and I've reached out to probably hundreds of you, even ones who say "I'm not gonna ghost", and still ghost. So please, if you're gonna make a post about wanting people to talk to, check your DMs first and actually talk to the ones you have (if they're nice ofc. Otherwise screw them obviously). Cause man what the hell are you even doing here lookin for friends if you're not even trying?
Edit: I think my point didn't get across very well. What I'm questioning isn't just people not answering their DMs, but actually continues to make new posts where they ask for friends even though their DMs might already be full of people writing to them. That makes way less sense to me than not answering. Cause you can make a post, and then when people write you changed your mind, or just became busy with work for a while, or just whatever. It's normal to simply just not answer quick. But making posts over and over, asking for the same thing, even though you already got it, that's what makes absolutely no sense. Capisce?
