Meeting new people is scary. Like I wanna talk to them but what if they hate me

when favoomf is crashing out but u have to make sure u’ve liked all their posts

You don’t need to be. Again, despite my typing style—and probably how you perceive me—I’m really not that serious. I like them as long as they’re from you. (I’m not opposed to them. If anything, I’d say the opposite…)

Why would envy them? Of course I value your attention! You’re interesting to talk to, and you’re unlike anyone I’ve ever met. You have knowledge and a personality that I’m genuinely interested in.

I’m jealous because I want to be the one who holds your attention above everyone else. I know that’s no small thing to ask, which is why I said I can prove it over time. That doesn’t mean I’ve only been doing this for your attention, though. You’re someone I’m genuinely interested in, and I think you’re really cool. That’s honestly the best word I could think of.

Oh? Just like that? Well, alright then. You should start with They Both Die At the End, in my opinion, for it is the first book in the series that ever came out. But it’s not the first book chronologically. Going in release date order it’s: They Both Die At the End, The First To Die At the End, and The Survivor Wants To Die At the End. Going in chronological order it’s: The First To Die At the End , They Both Die At the End , The Survivor Wants To Die At the End. So, frankly, you can choose which order you prefer, but you HAVE to read The First To Die At the End to understand The Survivor Wants To Die At the End. For spoiler reasons, I obviously can’t explain why.

Alright! I’ll check my local library first, and if they don’t have them, I’ll read or buy them online. No promises that I’ll get to them soon, though.

Why, thank you. Quick question for you though: What was the hardest part about learning German for you? So far, the hardest part for me is definitely grammar. I like to think I’m very skilled at writing , and good enough at writing in German. But whenever I don’t understand how to say something in German that I definitely know how to say in English…I’m immediately humbled. It’s annoying. I think I know so much because I can say basic sentences, but I am then proven wrong.

It was probably pronunciation. I could learn things pretty easily when I could write them down, but actually saying them out loud was difficult for me.

Ah, it’s quite alright if you didn’t mean to. I’m glad you’re trying to fix it. For starters, you saying “I didn't say "enjoy." I said they're nice.” Came off as…rude to me.

Maybe I read it in the wrong tone, but I reread everything you send me quite a few times. And each time I read that line I just got upset. Which is why I responded the way I did to it. For the others, I’ll just give you quotes of yourself that I found to be rude as well. They gave me the same feeling that I previously stated.

Oh, I’m sorry about that part as well. I had said it because I was especially jealous at the time. I do enjoy it when you post because they’re your posts. I’m glad you reread the things I send, and I’m sorry that for upsetting you. I’ll be more mindful of how I phrase things. I tend to say things very directly and forget there are other ways they can be interpreted. #Autism…

It’s alright that you responded the way you did, especially if that’s how you interpreted what I said.

"Well, good. Because I didn't give you any …And why would I give you pity hints?" “No, you can still have hobbies and write long messages.” Obviously, there’s not very many, but these small sentences changed the entire tone of the message(s) that I sent back. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from.

I do understand where you’re coming from. I’d also like to say that I’m really not the best at conveying tone, whether it’s through text or in person. It’s also extremely rare for me to actually get angry or act on it, so if you’re ever unsure, just assume good intentions on my part. That said, you’re obviously still free to ask me about—or confront me over—anything I’ve done wrong. I’m always willing to have that conversation.

I would’ve replied earlier—I saw the exact moment you posted this—but I ended up spending a good thirty minutes rephrasing something and rereading your message.

Ah, I see. Hmm.

No rush, of course! Rushing you would be quite unfair.

It’s quite hard for me to learn these things from home on my own. Even with your help. I typically require a lot of practice, but there’s not very many people I can practice with…ah. Also, I have to agree on the pronunciation thing. Some words are WAY easier than others, and some words aren’t pronounced the way they look! If…that even makes any sense.

Ah….I do apologize for making you jealous. Thank you for taking what I said seriously and being more mindful!

I very much appreciate you being so open and willing to have these types of conversations with me. On that note, I have another question. Well, more like questions. How long did it take you to learn German, and did you learn German completely on your own?

You don’t have to spend so much time rephrasing things in fear that I’ll get offended again. Now that I know you genuinely meant/mean no harm, feel free to keep typing in the way that you were. I don’t want anoning me to feel stressful in any way.

I’m sorry for such a late response…I’ve barely been online at ALL today!

I literally fucking hate Tumblr. Whenever I try to send a response, it fucking DELETES ITSELF SOMETIMES. “We don’t support this form of media!!” STFU.
