It's really funny to get messages from strangers who sound like they're nervous like they're messaging some big shot celebrity or whatever.
Like, yeah, I get it. Anxiety's a bitch. But I'm just a guy with weird hobbies; a nerd who likes to make sense of the world and share his notes.
But when it comes to social status, I'm also kind of a loser?
I'm definitely too lame to get a boyfriend, and the local queer/furry scene treats me like a ghost whenever I try to organize an activity (even if I'm offering to pay for everyone's way).
And unless you're very interested in the same technical topics I write about frequently, well, my fursona is a forgettable blue canid, like the tends of thousands other blue canids. I'm basically background noise.
So it gives me a lot of proverbial whiplash to be treated that way >.>
