    Been trying to learn how to do social media in 2021 and feeling like a fake tryhard fool the whole time but just trying to get my music heard / make some connections. Its kinda agonizing and totally against my nature but i feel like if i just stick to it, it'll get easier and feel less cringey. But fuck does it ever feel cringey. Maybe im too judgemental, of myself but also of others because i have a very low tolerance for 'shit that i would be embarrassed to show to the public'. I feel like you kinda need no shame?

    Anyway maybe this was more for the 'signs your getting old' thread.

    • i donno nate. i guess it just seems like something that shouldnt bother me so i want to get to a point where it doesnt bother me as much and i feel comfortable.mantrakid
    • but even more, i think the reason i feel uncomfortable is because im just trying to do what other people are doing. Maybe there's a way to 'be me'..mantrakid
