unless i consider the person i'm talking to a friend, not at all. direct messages to people other than my friends scare me 😭
its half and half i think. i loooove to talk with people and dm and make friends and check on them but im also. reallu socially anxious at the same time? so i can get really shy all of a sudden and go "woaw im talking too much" and back out of the conversation. im also really forgetful so i can ghost people accidentally (especially if we're not best friends) and sometimes i just burn out and lose interest in whatever we were talking about. but if the person is really funny and amazing (ahem... my girlfriend...) we can talk the whole day no breaks. my strong suit is gcs i think, theres more people so it keeps me really engaged so i'll be more motivated to reply and keep up. if i make sense
naur my social anxiety eats me alive eehhh BUT if the person i'm talking to is very engaging then hell yeah im gonna keep on yapping w them
i send people so many asks on here But if you asked me to directly message somebody id crumble and wither away into dust. its like i prefer to leave a message and wait for a response instead of a live conversation so it depends I think
hardly, starting a conversation is difficult for me even if i want to talk to someone. it gets easier the more comfortable i am
not really, I'm bad at starting conversations and that extends to instant messaging
I'm more chatty in a group chat, so not really. Though I like getting a message from friends sometimes
Only with people I’m close with, I’m too scared to actually dm other people so I’m usually the one receiving dms
A little bit
CLARA IS TOTALLY "CHAT PERSON"!!! (≧∇≦)/ CLARA LOVE MSG PPL AND START CONVERSATIONS!!! TELL HER EVERYTHING, SHE WANNA KNOW ALL THE THINGS!!! ( ´ ∀ `)ノ~ ✨
CLARA IS JUST ALWAY EXCITE TO TALK AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS!!! SHE THINK MSGING LIKE WHOLE ADVENTURE BC SHE WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND RIGHT NOW!!! (*≧ω≦) SO YAAAAA CLARA’S DEFINITELY A CHAT PERSON! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ
I can be a chat person with my siblings. It'll mostly be to share something that I'm comfortable or happy to share, but I really prefer dming ppl with stuff that'd interest them instead, cuz that's kinda my love language; "gifting-giving" but it's with memes/posts/art.
Otherwise... Not only am I a bit too introverted to consistently interact or dm ppl idk that well, but I'm just deathly anxious to enter new social situations when I have no idea what to expect from the exchange. That's actually why I'm a bit thankful that some people have rentries which help me figure out what I can and cannot do when talking to that person (sorta, ig, idk it's helpful enough as a guideline).
No.. Not really. Ill rarely ever start conversations unless im close to the person. Nor do I generally dm people often.
I'm terribly scared of people so there's no way I'd dm first... Unless it's those I'm close to.. need attention or I have something to get off my chest and I can't hold it in any longer- (─.─||)
i kinda have to be . thankfully w my close friend group ive known them for years and we all just kinda dm whenever .
with new people i find myself having to put in a lot of extra effort to keep the friendship going . once i dont text first the convos stop and the friendship ends LMAO .
At first im actually very '''''shy''''' to contact the person first if ive never interacted with them.. Honestly idk how i made so much online friends.. maybe being ENFP really helps
not often no, I'm not really good at staying in touch with people. I have this one friend though on a forum. the messaging system is really weird so its more like email almost? but we message each other there and don't reply until like days later and it's honestly chill he's my best friend. there's no like obligation to keep up or anything
LITERALLY ME
I'm always trying to engage with ppl, but late replies throw me off or just the crickets chirping,,,, sob
to answer my own question, bc why not. I don't mind DMs if there's something fun to talk about, but random empty messages from strangers.. nope. I never send any, I never reply if I get them. (the typical "hi how are you" stuff).
Basically, if I'm comfortable, know the person, or if there's stuff to say, sure. Why not. But outside of that not at all.
