You do sound really really young, but that could be an effect of having been through Covid isolation at 12 years old, overprotective parents, neurodiversity, and whatever else. It sounds like you’re trying!
@Anonymousse ya prolly. I am better at focusing on studies compared to my classmates so i dont mind the restrictions.
@Kate lol idk if thats a good thing. But i agree, most ppl my age did have to struggle thru isolation during their tweens so maybe thats y we sound really young? Lets just hope it doesnt mess up any communication skills in the future lmao.I just think the internet as a whole is probably more threatening than Facebook. Your parents don’t monitor your online usage on an adult advice websites but social media to connect with friends after going through a social paralyzing pandemic is verboten? You could be talking to anyone right now, vs I get to approve who my kids friend on kids Facebook messenger, for example. They are 9.
@Anonymousse its not that i cant take care of myself online. Its the fact that scrolling through social media apps is enticing to most of us, no matter the age, that brought about the ban. Online safety is obviously a concern but in my case, its about social media being a distraction. And this is just an advice site, albeit for adults, so i know there isnt much of a risk here.
This is another case where you first said the reason your parents don’t let you on social media is because of all the internet scams happening lately. Then you said, it’s normal for parents to be up in their teens social media. Which you said you didn’t have. I don’t think that’s true.
I am literally just pointing out inconsistencies in your stories, just trying to get a straight answer. You never explained how you hung out for six hours, where you said you didn’t invite him but also you said, you weren’t sure why he brought his friend? Then you clarified that you invite her, because you’re too shy to ask him. Just like, tell me the real story the first time and stop making up stuff. It makes no sense.
So my big advice with you is to stop all the nonsense. Be real.
Sounds like now that you have his number things should progress the natural way.
That’s hilarious. There used to be someone who would immediately berate and swear at you and would definitely call you the c word and an idiot but now that he’s gone I guess we are pretty chill.
@Anonymousse with all due respect, u need to chill. I know u r older than me and I’d like to respect that age gap even though we’re online and are anonymous but the problem i had is fixed. What i said aren’t exactly inconsistencies, they’re just many reasons for one action that my parents decided to do to which i complied. Maybe America’s different (im assuming ur american, given the fact ur so worked up about how i dont have social media) but norms are different in different countries cuz maybe there arent strict cyber laws everywhere and some just dont wanna take the risk? And it is normal for parents to monitor their teens’ social media activity. They trust their kids and know that they can take care of themselves online and aren’t really worried about sites where u dont have to create an account but for the situations where u do have to, its just easier for others to hack and for u to get distracted. Sure, u see 17 yr olds thirst-trapping on instagram, most of the time without their parents knowledge through spam accounts with restricted access, but ofc no one’s gonna talk about that cuz its “normal”. But u see sm1 living a decent life, suddenly things dont add up? Im not even complaining about it, i just mentioned that i cant always interact with people online through accounts but now its been made a problem.
About the ACTUAL problem, i said i TRIED to invite her in the hopes of seeing the guy, which doesn’t work i agree, but she never accepted the invite so it never happened. It was only in the first meeting where he brought a friend and thats prolly cuz he didn’t know me that well and im just some person who said hi i see u around often, wanna hang out?. Who knows?! And i did tell you why i spent six hours chatting w him. There was a lot of time to kill and we found the conversations we had interesting. Maybe u cant relate but its literally just that and im not making anything up.
Ur advice is top tier, but it’d help if you were a bit more respectful and not try to see everything through a single perspective. Either way, i got his number and things seem to be looking up so everyone’s advice worked.
@Anonymousse about the second to last advice u posted, i dont understand wut u r referring to??
Maybe u accidentally posted in the wrong thread or smthing idk. If it’s not that, wut r u on about?@Anonymousse about the second to last advice u posted, i dont understand wut u r referring to??
