addme | (no subject)

My friends list has become a little quiet lately, so I thought I'd see if I could find some new lovely peeps to add ;)

Name: Tina

Age: 36 years ~~old~~ young

I mostly post about: my daily life! Thoughts, musings, anything that goes through my mind basically. Lots of pictures of things I encounter and find worthy of capturing, my cat Lucy among them, travelling that I do...a whole smorgasbord of stuff. The only things I do not post about is fandom (because I'm not into that) and politics/news (because this is my safe space and I need to take care of my mental health). I did post a bit about the recent European election results a couple weeks ago just because they were so horrible that I needed to get out my thoughts, but that's about all of the political content I write about.

My hobbies are: Reading, hanging out with friends, taking walks, travelling, taking pictures, cuddling with my cat, listening to music, going to the occasional concert (when I can afford it), and I am making an effort to go swimming regularly again. (Though I did just get a new tattoo so that's off limits for a while now.)

My fandoms are: I am not into fandom. Of course I have books/movies/TV shows etc. that I like but I do not participate in anything like fanfiction etc.

I'm looking to meet people who: are funny, kind, empathetic and open-minded. Common interests are nice, but not an absolute must-have. Some of my best friends I've met online share hardly anything in common with me - and after all, one can always give the other person's interests a try and might like them ;)

My posting schedule tends to be: I try to post at least once a week, same with commenting and replying to comments.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: The usual bigotry, right-wing political views; if you think that mental illness is not real and people just need to "get a grip" and "pull themselves together". Also, and I know that's gonna sound a bit rude, if you are somebody who doesn't want "too much negativity", you might give me a pass. While I do try to be as positive as I can, and have gotten a lot better mentally over the past few years, I also want to feel free to get out any thoughts, bad or good, on here, and not get anxious about crossing the line into "too much" territory. Also, I have been dealing with disordered eating and body image issues all my life, so while it's not a dealbreaker as such, I will skip that kind of content if it is something you write about.

Before adding me, you should know: I am very possibly (though undiagnosed because the whole process is very difficult over here) somewhere on the autism spectrum, so I sometimes put my foot in my mouth without realizing it. If I do say something that offends you, please try to give me the benefit of the doubt that I didn't do it on purpose, and talk to me about it. I will do my best to apologize and learn from it - I just can't deal with being ghosted without knowing if I did something wrong/what it was that I did.
I hope I don't sound too complicated or weird - I am really quite nice and I am looking forward to meeting people from all walks of life.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask ♥

Hi! I'd be happy to add you- we maybe have some things/hobbies in common. I'm also not in to fandoms, so I don't write about that- just every day stuff. I've been posting about once a week recently but sometimes it is more than that... sort of just as time permits. :)

Hi :)
Sure, I will add you right now!

Hello! I am also 36 years young!
What do you like to read? I also love taking walks, traveling, taking pictures, listening to music, reading and swimming when I can go.

Hello there :)
I love reading all kinds of books, really. My favourites are biographies, thrillers/mysteries, non-fiction (especially true crime, psychology, sociology etc.) but I will read most of anything if the book sounds interesting to me.
It seems like we'd get along, I'm going to add you now :)

That's wonderful! Recently I have gotten into True Crime and it truly is interesting. I read pretty much anything except for some cheesy romance novels and overly religious books.

Overly religious books aren't my cup of tea either, as an agnostic/skeptic. Especially if it's clear that the author is looking to convert people and/or is just closed-minded.

Yes, I'm agnostic too.
And I agree, I don't like authors like that either.

Hello!

I'm in my early 50s, mom of 3 grown children, grandma to 5. I post about daily life & basically journal to get things out of my head.

I enjoy reading, interacting online & playing various games on my phone.

It's very interesting that I came across this post as it's come to my own attention that it's very possible that I'm also autistic. I've been trying to navigate the whole thing & I haven't gotten too much support.

Anyway, add?

Sure thing!
I've added you just now, looking forward to getting to know you :)

Hello! I'm fairly new here (though I was on LJ years ago) and I'd like to add you! I'm open minded and easy going, and autistic, and I post mostly about daily life. I'm similar to you in that I have media I enjoy, but I don't really participate in fandom.

Hello! We seem to have similar interests and reasons for posting. I’m also 36, don’t really participate in fandoms and love my little dumb cat. Do you mind if I add you?

Hi -- I added you because I believe we have similar interests.

Hi! I added you :-) You sound like an interesting person.

Hi there! I am a weekly-ish poster, too. Our deal breakers align and am generally interested in getting to know people on a more personal level and learning about their lives and like commenting. Also into cats (I have two), reading (mystery and thrillers and general fiction), not into fandom but obviously have shows/movies/books I like.

My posts are mostly about my general life, photos, my cats, riding and competing my horse, outdoorsy stuff I do, and using journaling to work through an issue. For instance, I am dealing with some awful burnout from work.

Love to mutually add if you're interested!

Bummed to see your journal is gone!
