Ello sweet and lovely Friendos π
I've got many (good) friends across my Mastodon accounts. For which I'm very grateful πΈ. I've slowly added some of those lovely Friendos to this account, so I don't have to miss anything by them! π
But I'd also love to meet new people through this account. I've followed the hashtags like #DogsOfMastodon and #ActuallyAutistic. And I occasionally like the posts I see with those hashtags.
But, it's hard for me to actually start following someone new. Like there is this big threshold that I don't dare to cross without being invited first... And I always feel like I'm "invading someone's space" when I send a follow request. Even though my brain knows that that's what social media is all about.
Somehow, it's easier for me to accept a follow request, check out their profile, and follow back if I'm interested in what they have to share. Sometimes I feel "rude" as well, when someone

Somehow, it's easier for me to accept a follow request, check out their profile, and follow back if I'm interested in what they have to share. Sometimes I feel "rude" as well, when someone wants to follow me, and I don't feel interested enough (yet?) to follow them back. If that makes any sense... π€
I don't need a long list of followers. Of course, I hope my writing and sharing of snaps and vids, that there are people out there that enjoy it. But, I've always said, I rather have ten "followers" (friends) that actually care, than 50 followers that never interact...
I struggle with replying a lot. I can reply on a reply on one of my posts. I can like posts that I see. I'm slowly learning to boost more of the posts by my friends. But commenting on their posts is a lot harder. I always fear I write the wrong things. I always think that no one is actually waiting for someone like me to reply. And I know... It's just my fear/anxiety about "getting the social situation wrong". Like I've done so many times before... π
So, if I like and boost your posts, that means a lot (at least to me). And should I be brave enough to comment, and should I get it wrong, please keep in mind that I never have any bad intentions. I would not even dare! π«£
Anywhoo... Long story short... Yeah, ik weird, π. But also, I'm hoping to make new friends that love dogs, gaming, fitness, and are maybe a bit NeuroSpicy πΆοΈ as well. (don't need to connect with all these topics, that's just me... π).
Fankoos π«Άπ» for reading!

A collage of six images bordered in purple; the center image says "Welcome to the SniffiVerse selfies zone..." in stylized purple text. The other images are all selfies of a fair-skinned person with short hair, glasses, and a headlamp, posing with a brown Labrador retriever. In two of the images, the dog is sticking its tongue out, in another the dog is yawning. The person is smiling in all of the images.
