Fuck : so, on my other blog (my “primary”, even though I have far more followers on this one), I basically share a lot of things relating to my deepest thoughts and my personal life, and a lot of things that I do not share with people in real life. I have two friends that I gave explicit permission to to follow me. Them, I am totally okay with. All of the people that follow me because they found me on tumblr and like my blog, I am more than okay with. But one thing I don’t care for is people following me specifically because they know me in real life.
Maybe it seems silly, but my blog is really private to me, and I actually much prefer to keep it away from most people I know in real life, unless I know that they’ll be okay with tumblr me and just let me do my thing, and I won’t have any reason to post anything that would be offensive to them. My friend Ben just followed me, though, solely because he knows me irl. I know for a fact he probably won’t agree with lots of the things I post, and he’s already teased me for basically taking up all of his dash. But I don’t cater my blog to specific people. If you don’t like what I post or how much I post, unfollow me. Tumblr was a place to get away from the social pressure of people that actually know me and to be able to truly 100% be myself to people who really appreciate who that is.
I’m just going to try not to change the way I post because of him, I guess. Except this is normally the kind of thing I would post on that blog, and I don’t feel like I can now. So it’s already compromised. It’s just frustrating.
And he had asked me out once, and I had posted about it a little while back, and how I was frustrated with good friends always falling for me, so I had to find that post and delete it so an awkward situation wouldn’t come up… Plus, I post a lot about my ace(flux)/aromantic self-discoverings, and I feel like I’ve been outed to someone I didn’t exactly want to be outed to, now. But whatever <.< I’ll manage, and it’s probably not actually a big deal. Might even turn out to be a good thing. I just had to vent to someone, and I couldn’t post about this on my main. Done ranting now!
