Lovely, adore the way we gloss over Threads. I’m curious why you describe reddit as “prudish” (I’ve never had an around, only used it when I need to google a very specific question usually about women’s health lol). And I have, blessedly, never been on Twitter or TikTok. I wonder if any of this is why I actually don’t relate to the need for so much brain rot and stimulus, but I’ve also never been a multitasker, so I tend to just have one thing going at once. Like, writing in silence, or MAYBE with music on if I’m not too scatterbrained. Watching a movie means watching the movie, maybe occasionally replying to someone meanwhile. Fuck it, maybe I’ll do my own post pondering all this LOL
I call it prudish mostly due to art-related subs—they are oddly resistant to depictions of violence, sex, unique syntax etc in their books and writing, and they’re quite loud about it 💀
As a recovering multimedia drifter I envy you your single task approach to things lmao
I've been trying for the past however many years to only do one thing at a time - that is to say, if I want to play a video game, I will only play that video game and not consume other content at the same time. I've also tried this with eating, but it's much harder for me to eat without also doing something else like watching a video. I'm pretty uncomfortable with silence unfortunately... I feel like I need Something to occupy my mind at all times. but it's really suffocating to live like that.

This is not to say that I have any decent concentration skills
Had an account*
