• Hi! I know I tweet a lot, but this is very important to say and I would really appreciate it if you took the time out to actually read this since you're here!

If you've followed me for a moment already, you know that I'm social and/or I post a lot! I apologize first and foremost but the reason I'm typing this is, I'm also incredibly unpredictable in my posting and if you want to talk to me beyond twitter, I need to warn you that.. I am not good at talking!

This means that one on one conversations aren't really my forte. Due to both trauma and mental illness, I am very bad at talking personally with people and often times I just won't.

• I do a thing called 'scripting' which is when I can more or less predict what is going to happen in the course of a conversation. I do this especially with strangers based on information I've taken in about general societal expectations. But I know on the internet, sometimes these expectations are skewed or people tend to not follow them as everyone is an individual!

This is very stressful to me! It doesn't mean that I don't like you or that I don't want to talk to you, it is that I will have a harder time adjusting to your particular social style!

So while I encourage getting to know you, please do not be offended if I don't respond to you or I don't talk at all! It may be because I am unsure how to talk to you or I am currently not at the energy level I think would be required to interact with you!!

I know it's such a silly thing to talk about, but unfortunately it pretty much hinders my social circle and I feel bad when people want to be my friend but I end up scurrying away or not being able to handle the first few weeks of getting to know them due to this, so I figured I'd put a line out there and let people know what to expect from me!

Thank you for reading!
