Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 4

[respoftw]

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.

But...but I'll be bothering them! Putting myself out there is not something that comes naturally to me; not in person and not online either. You'd think that sitting behind a keyboard would help overcome that crippling fear of being bothersome or being thought of as a nuisance but it really, really doesn't.

It's a weird thought process. I mean, I know that when someone reaches out to me; when someone introduces themselves or comments, my mind never goes to 'oh, that's annoying.' Every time it happens my mind goes 'oh my god, someone is saying hi to me, that's so cool. Wow! Hi back! That's so nice of you!" but somehow it doesn't ever seem like anyone would have that reaction to me doing the same.

Minds are a very weird thing. Self-confidence issues are a very annoying thing.

So, I'm gonna go and rout around the previous fandom snowflake posts and make introductions. And I'll try really hard not to apologise for bothering them...

This is how I feel! I always have this sense of "But they're already cool and talking to people and have their circle ... don't interrupt and bother". I'm trying to force myself out of my comfort zone with the 15 days of this challenge and really just trying to see what fandom on DW is like.

I'm reading my flist and then I'm going to start commenting and not do the cop out I did in my post with "I already did that!". :)

Yes! Go you!
