I've been heavily debating leaving this site

I don't really know if i will... but I've been deleting everything else to help myself and my mental health, and I've came close to deleting my account here too.
I'm just really tired of the internet and social media and it's been kicking my ass.
Deleting other sites has made me feel better so I'm tempted to do the same with this one...

I don't really know.
If i decide to leave I'll probably say more first so this won't be my final post

But at least I'll say this now so it won't be as much of a shock if i do.

It happens, I almost left FOREVER, people are cruel, self centered and idiots. Not All of them, you know, but enough to aggravate and hurt. With COVID I got used to staying away from physical Humans, so leaving SW just got me away from mostly less important people. Virtual Ones that were mostly just words on a page, ones that I was deluding myself anyway with, "🤓 I have friends!!!

😁 Yay!"
REALITY?
Ummmm, Nope!
Just names, sentences, maybe some decent thoughts provoked, some laughs, some intelligence, but generally too many hours of mostly unproductive time spent trying to weave connections from cotton candy & smoke.

Not that everyone sucked or sucks now, but this is not a place everyone roots for the same team, where everyone shares a commonality, where there's 20, 60, 100 people Saying "Where are you?" Looking, worrying, concerned if you're not around for a day or two.
