Nobody knows me here so it feels a safe place to just vent

I know everyone communicates diff and I have rejection sensitivity but OH MY GOD

I hate the anxiety of like
I feel like I’m the only one in the group chat. If it’s a meme there’s no reaction. If it’s a question there’s no answer. I feel like I must be the worst most annoying person and I don’t want to think that! I have no reason to think they think that! But also like… please just respond 😭

I post on X. Even my art. My friends don’t even “like” the posts if they do see them. I “like” their posts all the time. I worry not that they don’t like my stuff but that I’m annoying them by interacting because I feel I interact too much. Is my show of support looking clingy? How am I supposed to play by the rules when nobody ever tells me the rules? I feel like social interaction is just some complicated board game that everyone insists is “so easy to learn as you go” but I want the rules!
