It’s been a while since a big election and this is the first time some Tumblrites are voting so here’s a quick warning:
Please Don’t Snapchat, Instagram, take a selfie with, etc, your vote in the voting booth! There are laws in almost every state forbidding sharing your vote, especially if polls haven’t closer yet. If any officials get wind of it they can invalidate your vote, basically throw it away. This was actually a thing during Obama’s election.
So make sure you get out and vote, and make sure it counts! Keep your phone in your pocket for this one.
Nothing turns me off more than somebody telling me “You’re my only friend.”
Because guess what, I don’t want or need that pressure. I don’twant to be your only friend. I don’twant to be your sole human contact.
Because it makes me feel guilty as hell, and puts on the expectation that I need to be there to comfort you 24/7. I can’t, and I don’t want to.
Find other friends.
I’m not going to be your only friend.
As someone on the other side who usually only has one friend, this hurts. We are already self conscious enough. This comes off as feeling like “make more friends or I’m leaving. I’m not your bff” There’s usually a reason we only have one friend and that’s usually because it’s so hard to make them. If it makes you uncomfortable then introduce us to some of your other friends. Invite us to group hangouts. Let us feel welcome.
You’re assuming the person who is saying that to me is a friend. No, they aren’t. 99.99% of the time, they are an acquaintance. Somebody I know, and have spoken with briefly. They are not a friend. I would not have them over at my house and sharing drinks. I would not tell them my secrets, etc.
When somebody goes up to me, when I’ve probably talked to them for 10 minutes in total, and tells me I’m their only friend in the whole world… That’s uncomfortable. VERY uncomfortable.
