#that a couple of my real life friends (both neurodivergent) became my irl friends in just this way.

The urge to apologize to everyone who interacted with me in my first six months of tumblr, because I probably accidentally threw them for a loop. I was still figuring out the etiquette and normal behaviour specific to tumblr, and royally put my foot in it a number of times. Not that I was rude, I but did things like assuming it was like a party, where you had to walk up to people to get to know them, and bravely shoved aside my shyness to message them on the strength of their cool, beautiful blogs… before I had interacted with any of their posts. In my defence, I didn’t grow up with social media, and used it very sparingly as an adult, but still.
