      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

      I think it has something to do with this ‘burning social capital’ thing But it seems to be mainly rooted in self-consciousness (i.e. other people don’t always interpret the status shift the same way) And evidently, it doesn’t totally disappear when your identity is concealedhttps://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1225179899075297281 …

      it also bums me out how difficult it can be to sincerely compliment someone for some reason, complimenting people can sometimes feel disingenuous, or like you’re burning social capital doesn’t quite jive with the cooperative species hypothesis—still trying to unravel this https://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1224489248696365056 …

      it's plausible in general, but in my case it seems to be about the implicit relationship between me and the other person, not about the social capital ie. I'm afraid that the other person will see me as [something] and become disgusted

      come to think of it, I'm trying now and I can't imagine a scenario where I feel it could be appropriate for me to say or even hint at "I want to be friends"

      Yeah it’s the kind of thing you have to express subtextually, otherwise it’s cringe

      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?

          in this case I meant that I treat my communicated hints as obvious. or even if I don't communicate anything I still assume people just see all the bad stuff somehow

          So in the context of the original post, do you have a desire for people *not* to pick up on your hints that you are intrigued by their writing/want to be their friend? Asking myself this Q, I think my answer is “Yes, and it comes from fear of rejection and feeling unworthy”
