do you feel like you have community? how involved are you wizh fellow yinglets and zhe greater population? would you like zhis to change (in eizher direction)?

i definitely feel like a valued member of zhe cohost enclave, and i do have CESA which is fun when i want to pretend like i have some level of prestige, but i do want to have closer relationships wizh individual members of my species sometimes.

yes and no. i zhink za most succinct way i can describe it (irrationally) is: "nice people are being communityey in my general direction but it's wasted on me."

you for instance have been very nice to me, even so far as to directly ask me to be your friend, and i haven't done anyzhing about it because ???brain??bad????. i clearly have some trauma about being excluded / no one wanting to be my friend, because i zhink "oh what i really want is for someone to just ask to be friends wizh me", and zhen zhat literally happens, and my brain goes "uh, well, not like zhat, i guess, maybe next time-". classic irrational avoidant behavior.

i'm slowly processing zhings, and za lovely yingleys here have helped me a lot wizh zhat. i hope i can someday really feel like i'm Part Of A Community, and i zhink zhis is za closest i've been to zhat in recent memory. so zhank you, lovely critters of cohost. i hope i can make it worzh your time.

in reply to @8akesale's post:

The yings of Cohost have been very welcoming to me playing around in their space (thanks!) but I do often feel a bit weird insomuch as it's not permanent nor some deeper therian thing for meβ€”I'm just like the scrungly little guys.

I might just be overthinking it (I'm probably overthinking it (I have anxiety))

I'm very glad for the yinglet energy here! also seems better than Twitter's was, oddly, though I can't quite place why

should definitely do more on my own end, there's just been stresses lately that haven't been resolved yet. hopefully soon, tho

I have no idea if I'm part of ze community or not, because I can never understand how zese zings actually work.
But I am here and saying words and longing for shellfish so I guess? Also it has only been like a week or two since I got zinged so that might be it too.

I'd say so! I'm very very lucky, especially given I have a consistent group who join me on streams and in VR and whatnot. Still, it seems like I joined during a later wave of yinglet interest, and I have to wonder what it'd have been like/who I'd be closer friends with if I'd become one sooner. But as far as existing friendships are concerned, I'm pretty content.

And just FYI, if I'm one of the yinglets you want to chat more with, I'm here for it >;}
