what social media is teaching me:
when i post something i don't really want any validation for, such as a joke, it's popular.
when i post something where i really wish people would reassure me it's fine, there is silence.
so, as far as things i deeply care about - things that get close to the core - there is little support and encouragement to find there.
whereas if it's superficial - an easy laugh - there's plenty of encouragement to find there.
i don't like it.
