part of the reason i pulled back from plurk is because so many people kept trying to use me as a "friendship dispenser" when we barely knew each other and id just added them for plotting. it gets overwhelming when someone who is effectively a stranger on the internet keeps dumping the minutiae of their life on you constantly & you don't really want to reciprocate.

people complain all the time about "fun dispensers" but some of us really are here just to have fun damn

there are some people who really just plurk about how terrible their lives are every other day, what wastes of space they are and how bad their mental health is, etc etc ad infinitum. by the sounds of it they have nothing good ever going for them. that's what we call an energy vampire because they're exhausting to see after you've done your attempt as strangers/acquaintances to offer some empathy, as do multiple other people, and yet day in and day out it's just more of the same no matter what happens. a plurk timeline isn't qualified to act as a therapist, nor is it the place to throw all your dear diary private moaning and bitching unless you have that shit privated away from everyone else who can see it.

and then there'll be a panicked plurk at the end of the month going 'o-oh I didn't manage ac on x or y character...' clearly fishing for someone to boomerang with at the last minute.
