Reminder: Just because someone is posting on social media a lot, visibly doing projects, and otherwise looks like they're living their best life

1) Does not mean they are ok - social media is often a distraction and an escape valve

2) Does not mean they are ignoring you - they may be overwhelmed and incapable of handling messages

Yes this is my way of explaining why I haven't replied to your message
@jonty it me. I worry about this a lot

@ljrk @jonty

And me .. it part of keeping busy... Occupying my mind... Keeping me away from thinking of other matters

@jonty
To the contrary, my social media presence has been scarcer this past year, since I've been much better
@ScriptFanix @jonty yeah I noticed this about myself. I really like fedi and have fun chatting to the creatures here, but when things are going well, I don't have any time to be here despite enjoying it

When things are overwhelming, or slow, or bad, then I spend all the time I can in here
@jonty good luck. Hope things turn around.
@jonty This is me more times than I have said. Thank you for posting.
@jonty Also they might be from space.
@jonty OH MY GOD THIS

THIS A BILLION PERCENT
@phpete damn good picture, life in general is like that but on socials especially
@jonty
@jonty one of the reasons I’m only on mastodon for socials. Nobody I know is on here! Can’t be judged
@jonty Definitely true of me. In good weather when my mental health is good, I'm generally too busy to be on here much!
@jonty @ssterling looks it’s me on both counts!
@jonty How did you know? We never talked.
