I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam “Buy me a coffee!”, Reddit says shit like, “Don’t panic” when a webpage doesn’t load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.
Yeah, online communication seems to be a little confusing all around. I feel like a hypocrite admitting that I find myself on the other end of my situation, not responding immediately.
You just can’t always know why someone isn’t responding, and as an anxious person I often assume I’m just annoying whoever I’m talking to. I miss talking to my friends IRL.
