I wish I could just share my enthusiasm with everybody, but I get very anxious that what I'd find interesting people will find dull or maybe even troll... that's something I experienced with actual Reddit, I guess, and now it has carried over pretty much everywhere. I'll try my best because I want to contribute to a better experience not just for me but everybody!
I share this experience with you. It is really weird. When I was a kid, I was chatting in Yahoo chatrooms and posting on forums and I really don't think anyone cared what I had to say back then. These days, I can have real conversations but am too timid to do so!
I feel like as kids we're just so passionate about what's on our minds. We're still reckless and impulsive and less caring about what others think. When we grow up and understand the world a little better, we realize it's not so nice of a place we thought previously, and there's a lot of jerks around :( I hope we can find that childlike wonder of simply engaging with someone fascinating again.
