Whine whine whine

I'm over tumblr fandom/tumblr in general in the worst way these days. It's become boring as hell? I spend so much time scrolling through my dashboard but it's out of habit more than any sort of enjoyment. Maybe if I was contributing more I'd be having a better time but I don't have anything to contribute, really ( Read more... )

I've kinda felt like that for a while. Even though obviously there were loads of people on the site it did seem for a while you'd follow - or at least have heard of - most people in a fandom? I kind of got over it though when I started seeing everyone become obsessed with one show or movie I didn't care much about.

I've felt it for a while too but it never bothered me much before. I think I need to interact with more people to start enjoying myself there again but now that tumblr feels so huge I've got no idea where to start, really, and it's never been the best site for direct communication.

I feel like I post more there than I ever have but almost for this reason? Like its become such a habit but I don't feel any kind of community or like I especially know or like anybody on there? I feel a bit like I'm clinging to it...

Yes, exactly! Like I'm there because I'm not sure where I'd be if I wasn't. And that's maybe a bit horrifying, now I think about it.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT IS NOT JUST ME. I really felt terrible for feeling this way and was going to make a LJ post about it either tomorrow or later this week. I didn't realize how unenjoyable it was for me until I hadn't checked it over holidays, and then signed on. I had to force myself to stay on for a few minutes and then I just signed off. I obviously love seeing people like you or Kelly on my dash, but I'd rather keep up people via email, Pinterest, Twitter or here. IDK, I think I am just over it?

I actually am thinking of deleting it. When I do sign on, I see really terrible things. And fandom isn't as fun for me either, but it hasn't been in months. I also don't really feel like I'm apart of it and it's cliquey. I'm just happy that it's not just me because I felt like I was the only one who wasn't feeling "Tumblr is the best thing ever!!" feelings that I always see on my dash.

I've been feeling like that for a while, too. The only reason I'm still using it is out of habit.having nothing else to do. Though I don't know about the BtVS, I remember back in '09/10 when it was really fun, and there was, as you said, a real sense of community, and I honestly miss that. I'm hoping lj gets it's shit together (three errors in five minutes, that a classic tumblr you're pulling, lj) and people start coming back here, though I do prefer tumblr's format (ADD blogging?), I've always felt you get much more of a friendship out of the people on here, rather than tumblr.
