That’s how I feel when I read your post when it comes to story discussion, I found it interesting to read your paragraph, it gave me something on things that I often overlooked.
I do often find people discussing things and learning from it to be safer than outright questioning and asking it
Usually it’s just not thinking of anything worthwhile to comment, or maybe I wanted to write a funny but someone else already did in the topic or something close to it, so I don’t do it.
It also doesn’t help that University is putting a heavy limit on the time I have available for games, so I can’t even talk in topics about recent changes or stuff like the Easter event, since I’ve never even entered the game after completing the new nimbus story stuff.
Hell, I didn’t even explore the new islands lol.
Long answer: I feel lke i just disagree with a bunch of people here but don’t really like to voice my opinion since it usually adds nothing to the conversation, and I was already pretty active most of the stuff i see here feels regurgitated and also its pretty hard to get into speculative/ game discussion when your a testers
Lurking and being really active depends on my mood for the day. There’s almost like an “social energy bar” in play. This is something that I have to recharge once in a while if I want to have the desire to actually talk to people.
Oh hey look it’s my unhealthy forums reading addiction
Most of the time I don’t have anything to say to a topic.
I always think over and check my posts multiple times over. I don’t find any satisfaction from a half-sentence reply that could be easily replaced with a reaction, or any other worthless comment.
This also leads to me writing longer posts and replies with proper grammar. I usually find more thoughts to put in a reply then I originally intended, so I spend more time on one or two essay-like replies instead of mindlessly throwing bits of myself on every recent topic. (Also because I happened to do a lot of English essays beforehand, and proper grammar and thinking twice about what you post isn’t that hard)
Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to say anything; my mental energy has worn out already. Longer posts happen to take a lot of mental energy.
Yeah basically this, but I also just don’t know how to make random shitpost joke replies.
I don’t really have a good topic — and if I post a good one imo, it will die after 3 days anyway. Even if it did manage to go beyond that, it’s most likely a PvP thread
I may consider my responses a bit too schizo for my taste, and proceed to not say anything
I used to talk a bunch before but that was when I was younger, now I feel like I’m irrelevant and I’m doing a bunch of other stuff before. Plus I was called a knock off flare before so that pretty hurt
