I know we make jokes about tumblr affecting our brains but apparently tumblr has altered my understanding of friendship entirely. I had to ask someone how to tell if you were friends irl because I had some problems and they were like "do you share interests?" as a baseline and that gave me pause because like

share interests with potential friends?? here?

I'm lucky if my interests are in the same zip code anymore with my mutuals, nevermind friends I have outside of tumblr. The closer we are the less they seem to line up at the same time even if we met through a shared fandom

and here I am like a fool trying to make friends on vibes alone on the assumption that it doesn't matter if we like totally different things irl smh

#personal #it's easier with crafting and board games because it doesn't matter what my hyperfixation of the month is I always do that stuff #but like 'oh what tv show are you into' is a can of worms that I don't want to get into with some random person #how do I explain that my interests are split right now between mob pyscho and barbie 2023 #crafting spaces are my safer space because I could be like 'I'm really getting into the diaries of this long dead poet' and it'd be fine #'oh yeah long dead poet stuff yeah my grandmother's cousins' sewing group does that' is the kind of response I'd expect #though maybe I should just live my truth #alright folks which of you reads wikipedia articles for fun and likes learning about weird mushrooms
