I’m Leaving. For Real. This Time. Probably.

Okay. I’m done. I’m actually leaving.
I know some of you are already rolling your eyes. “Oh look, another dramatic exit.” WELL GUESS WHAT? Maybe I amdramatic. Maybe I am the problem. But maybe—just maybe—none of you ever appreciated me in the first place.
I poured my soul into this forum. I gave you chaos, memes, overshares, late-night breakdowns, and frog-related theories that will haunt you forever. And for what? A few likes? A “lol” here and there? Half-hearted replies like I’m just digital wallpaper?
You’ll miss me when I’m gone. You might not say it. You might pretend everything’s normal, like I didn’t shape the culture of this cursed site with my bare hands. But in the silence… in the boring, unfunny threads that follow… you’ll feelmy absence like a cold wind through an empty void.
I was unhinged, yes. I was needy, absolutely. But I was real. And that’s more than I can say for half of you bots pretending to care.
So goodbye. Or maybe not. Maybe I’ll refresh in five minutes and see if anyone replied. Maybe I’ll delete this post. Maybe I’ll fake a new account and start over. Who knows. I don’t.
I’m spiraling, possibly forever gone, possibly in the shadows watching you all be mid without me.

Many, many of my posts get no replies and no responses.
That does not matter.
I keep posting because sometimes I post stuff that a few members are interested in.
Many times I will make a post just so other members can interact with each other.
It is not all about me.
A social network site is so people from all over the world can find similarities with other members.
If I can be that catalyst for members to interact with each other then I am well pleased.
There are members who have been here from the start and get very little feed back but it worries them not.
Their aim is to share information.

@Gusman Every day while reading I take note of how many reads a post has versus when it was posted. Many without replies or reactions had been posted for nearly a day or more and have a low number of reads. 1 of 2 things has happened 1 the post drew no interest or 2 the F'd up feed hasn't presented the post often enough. My money is on #2
