Fortaki pls I spent like 20 minutes writing this and posted after you... I guess ill be honest, I have no idea what potato pod is xD
OT: I usually label friends by two categories: Offline and Online.
My Offline friends I met only because I go to school with them, I don't really go out anywhere since I just don't care for being outside, much less shopping or eating out at restaurants, neither do I have the money to do so. So usually I'll make friends with classmates or schoolmates I find pretty nice to hang out with, whether it be because they can really make your day better by cracking stupid but funny jokes, because they help you get out your feelings and are there to listen, because they actually can get real and they know how to do shit which kinda inspires you, because they're as depressed as you are and give you someone you can relate with and someone to help out to balance things a little, or because they are just amazing shitposting memelords, ...yeah. I appreciate all of them, I'm glad I met them, since they've made everything so much easier to tolerate.
My Online friends are usually people I meet from YouTube, or osu!. These friends are also really cherished, because they are who I tend to talk to most, I wind up sharing a lot of my problems, or rant about weird philosophical shit, and somehow my friends tolerate it. I have had some really fun and impactful moments with the majority of them, and I'm glad I met them too. Some of them understand my situation better than my offline friends, so that's why I share a lot of my troubles online. Usually I don't talk about it until I ask or until they ask. I guess there's still a lot I don't tell them, for different reasons, or maybe not even for any reason in particular. I'm pretty reclusive and keep a bit of my life to myself, namely it's about the shit that happens at home and how who I am compares to society, so that stuff I'll keep for more precious friends, but even then, I care for each one of them.
Yeah, looking back, I can see these huge fucking walls of text and I really don't know what to feel for the ones who managed to tolerate reading through that. Anyways...
What insecurities might you have about yourself? (I'll say mine right now, I'm honestly tired of how lazy and fucking deadpan/impassive I am, meaning people get really fucking annoyed when I show just how much I don't care, or sometimes I actually do care, but they think I don't because I don't express the enthusiasm expected. I also don't feel comfortable doing things for anyone because I feel like I'll fuck it up and that I know I'm responsible for that. All I can hope is that people don't mind my fuck-ups and care that maybe I actually tried. I guess it doesn't change that I'm a fuck-up.)
