And it was like, oh, I get the, oh, who could that be? Because I have not heard from them. And, of course, then, you know, I get blocked from one app or whatever. But, you know, it's like, my thing is, I think, you know, with social media or whatever, people don't want to do the hard work of relationship and talking
Anyway, I don't know where I was, and I know that my emotions were beginning to get heightened, and it had nothing to do with what I was talking about, more to do with these random men walking by. And I'm very sorry if anything came across in any sort of particular way, it had more to do with my environment

I'm laughing about how these men are getting in between the tree and your balcony, and I understand the personal space thing, so I totally get that. I'm sorry. That's frustrating you. Yeah, no, I totally get you on. I wish we did not have the. The wording of friends, because not everybody's friends like real friends, but some are. Some are. I have family, I have close friends on these apps
And sometimes, you know, the people that we follow are not necessarily creating things that you want to put a heart on when someone's in pain or when it's a news piece or whatever. I do want to see those things, some of them, but I'm not going to, I'm not going to comment on all of these things either. It's not someone I'm close with or do you know what I mean?
Black women know not to talk about the black women who don't have kids, but I find that non white women don't because they make their life all about their kids. Because, you know, it's a lot of other things there that I'm running out of time of to say

Just the inability to find people of substance that can handle real relationships is very difficult. So I relate to you in those ways. So I was thinking of also back to this topic that I don't announce whether I'm going to be clearing out my cash or clearing out my cookies. I don't say, hey, everybody, I'm going to be doing a cookie crumble. Look out. You know, so these purges just, you know, I don't know. I just

But I will say that for the large, large amount that I see, at least, I guess where I will put it is on Facebook. That's where I see this the most, is that it's usually in the connotation of, like, I'm kind of tired of the way some people, like people are. I'm kind of tired of the way people are treating me, so it's time for me to do a friend purge
So there's lots of different layers and degrees of friendship. But the online friendship is the easiest in my opinion, because I already come from a place of love. I love everybody, and so people are clicking on my posts or any of my other presence in the different social media apps. I love it. I love it. Come on in, you'll see what I'm about

Usually I chase after it and I chase after it, but I didn't, especially with this last one, so. Because I did care about this particular person, but so I really appreciate that. It was really nice listening to you and how you look at things. And what I'm trying to do in my life is now I'm 54, is I'm taking this journey of learning to love myself in a way
I don't know. It's a little weird. But I get it because they are helping us. If we are trending, my swells don't be in the worldwide swell thing. So I have to invite people now. So now they're making me work to get the engagement, which. Okay, swell. I don't mind watching to add my two cent to that. Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't think this. The invitations are a bit much
From their perspective, they're trying to grow a platform and they need to create interconnectedness. And if you start allowing blocking people to include all the features you normally have with a block on other platforms, well, then it disconnects the possibilities. And, yeah, so there's different things that they don't want to necessarily do yet, I'd imagine, or maybe never want to do. But anyway, it's just frustrating

So this is a really great conversation that we're, that we're all having and sharing our perspectives and journeys with all these different aspects to this platform, other platforms, and the language. Homo sanity out

Hey, good evening. Thank you for this wall. I mean, to me, this is just yet another example of how people kind of use social media to kind of showcase their exhibitionism and just kind of broadcast aspects of their life that, you know, you would think most people would just consider to be personal. Because for myself, I mean, if I have a friend and things kind of fall out. Excuse me. And we're not friends anymore
See, Christina, I didn't even know that the invite thing became a feature on the platform. I feel like if they create that feature, then they can create other features. Yeah, I agree with you that, you know, maybe you don't want to invite people because their name is there, but I guess I feel like it kind of goes both ways, like getting invited to stuff. Like, at some point, you cannot get invited to things, right?
So with respect to the invite feature, I don't know exactly when that happened. I can't remember. I've been on the app since 2020, and that version of the app looked nothing like the one we use now, and this one has had new features added throughout
