noticed that when I go through someone's timeline and like several tweets in a row, I get scared they will think: a) that I want them to notice; or even b) that I want to be friends with them. ...jesus christ. how the fuck did *this* become an illegitimate thing to want
-
-
yeah. and *then* the problem is not that I can't hint - but that I treat all hints as completely obvious. (because of course everybody can see into my head)

Do you treat your communicated hints as obvious, or do you misinterpret/fail to pick up other people’s hints?

Wait, this is cringe? I do this a lot? Many of my close friendships started this way???
-
I guess the cringe isn't "doing it", but "being unable to do it any other way" and there is some subtle difference between the *execution* that lets people realize you are brave in the first case and socially naive in the other case (?)

saying explicitly that you want to be friends is a failure to perform customary social obfuscationhttps://twitter.com/literalbanana/status/1209948511065665536 …
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Isn't it only cringe if the receiver thinks it's cringe? Seems kinda brave, actually. I think I'd be more likely to receive this as a positive signal than a subtextual ask.

It’s highly context dependent, and certainly not an absolute rule I think the ‘right context’ is basically correlated with the amount of trust you’ve established before expressing ithttps://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1226655525275750401 …
