NOTICE! what to expect and consider before adding me

hello to every person who happened to click on this blog entry :) for those who wandered in and aren't sure what this blog entry is about - worry not! this is mostly just me putting myself out there and looking for mutuals/friends and people to talk to.

= i've always been an introverted person and i tend to keep to myself quite a bit most of the time. i'm not necessarily the one going out of my way to message a dozen of different people every day. that's just how i am. that being said; even though i don't really like talking to people so much, but.. a good conversation is always nice, and i do enjoy getting to know a person once i get comfortable with them. if we happen to click, chances are i'll enjoy having you around.

= one thing i should probably mention is, i'm not really looking for friendships where people add me, talk to me for a week or month, and then completely dissappear right after. if we really are friends, i'd like there to be some genuine effort to maintain that friendship. just keep that in mind if you're planning to add me! im not expecting you to be glued on my side or to talk to me constantly, but i am in fact looking for people who actually want to interact with me and build connection over time, even if it's just interaction through bulletins.

= i'm not always around either, even if i appear to be online. sometimes i just leave FR on browser and go do something else, or i simply don't have any capacity to talk. please don't take it personally if i don't respond right away :)

= i try to keep things fairly laid back. i'm not here to argue, bait or entertain those who push boundaries just to see a reaction and get kicks out of it. i don't like being mean very much and i'd rather not have a reason to be. 

that's pretty much all i wanted to say. other than that, i'm not really asking for anything particular. as mentioned in my profile, i do not have a DNI list; i personally find them excessively worrying than useful, and not a necessarily effective way of handling things. i do use the block and unfriend buttons freely for my own sanity or if something rubs me the wrong way. if it happens to you, don't take it as some moral ground statement. sometimes people just aren't compatible. no hard feelings.

there are communities, stances and online circles im generally cautious around with, sure. (including people who affiliate themselves with certain people from art commentary community. you're on very thin ice.) but as long as you're genuinely respectful, considerate and we're able to get along - you're fine. otherwise, i'll simply distance myself.

if you're interested in becoming friends or just generally getting to know each other: feel free to add me! just please be 18 or older, i'm looking for only adults to interact with. just please be a considerate and open-minded individual and i'll do my best to return the same :)
