I am not doing so great.

Posted by Tritnew - January 28th, 2024


Hi, it's probably no surprise that yeah, I'm not doing that great. But I figure I'd make a whole post talking in more detail about it, cause I don't know where else to plaster these feelings and I'd rather not burden my friends with what I'm feeling, much less randos in a server.


So what better way than to 500+ of ya.


First things first, I've made it a sort of mini resolution to cut my stupid fucking humor out. If you know, you know, but if you don't... It tends to get "weird" or "cursed" or whatever. At this point I feel it's become a part of me to be "weird" or "cursed", but frankly...


I don't like it. I don't want to be known for this, and I don't want to drive people away from me because I'm stupidly eccentric, and frankly, it's just try hard.


So, I'm working on that. It'll hurt when people say "FINALLY" or say that I was too much, but that's just how it is, you know. Maybe people, even my friends, will like me better, but I doubt it because there's a lot more I could work on about myself. Like stopping myself from being an opinionated asshat, or info dumping about my stupid fucking hyperfixations.


That's not the only thing that's been bugging me, but having a slight popularity has been a thing I've been struggling with.


Because, outside of being good to decent at music... who am I? Except some boring guy who plays video games and lives on pennies, and doesn't go out much. It's something I tend to realize when I talk to people in DMs or in VCs when I go in.


"Hey how was your day?"

"Oh I just ate and played video games."

Then the response to that varies. I've looked back at all that and realized just... how boring I actually am, and I want to change that so badly, I want to be able to say that I went out and did something, or this or that.


...but I can't really force myself to Instagramify my life.


So I feel having this kind of "popularity", tends to oversell myself to you all, or even push people away from talking to me too, just because of my numbers. I'm... Just like anyone of you, and I don't mind getting DM'd at all, it's not a bother, and even then I'd let you know if it was.


Of course I appreciate every single one of you, so please don't take this as me saying "FUCK YOU ALL YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!!!" because that's far from how I feel, I love you all.


Anyways, I have plenty more on my mind, but I feel that's too much for anywhere really. These are just the biggest things that's been plaguing me that I wanted to talk about.


I promise the next news post will be something more than me whining, something a bit more jolly, hopefully I announce something maybe...


I just needed to let this all out.


Follow the rhythm, not the algorithm.

Appreciate the vulnerability, Trit. I and many others will be cheering you on as you take this journey of self improvement. You got this dude!

I'm also trying to cut back on my own dumbass sense of humor, so I understand your struggle all too well. At the same time, don't beat yourself up too badly. I doubt people mind you talking about your interests at length as much as you think they do. I know I don't tbh. I always enjoy hearing people talk about things they love, even if I don't have much to say in response due to my own lack of knowledge. It's just nice to hear about people's passions.

I wish you the best of luck on your continuing journey towards self improvement. One more thing, though. You're more than just "good to decent" at music. Don't sell yourself short like that.

Selling myself short is another thing I gotta work on lol. Thanks bro.

I appreciate you taking the time to make such a vulnerable post. Take all the time you need on yourself, and I'll be rooting for you the whole way!~

I tend to kinda keep this kinda stuff to myself, but I didn't want to bottle it up cause it would've eventually boil over, and I don't want that.

Thanks so much for the support! <3

hey, i found your post recently, i just came by to say i understand its tough to just feel kinda isolated for being yourself, im glad you want to make a change (specially not doing the instagram thing, i get it but i dont find it healthier in my opinion, if i ever make a post for something, i wish to be for something i did for myself and im really proud of.), but if you dont mind my thoughs: everything you do must do it for yourself, dont do it for other people, i know its hard to feel bad for not feeling well on a space with people and i am struggling to socialize too, i try to apply constantly the rule i said for me and its not easy.
butt anyway, i hope you are feeling better, if you want to talk ill check my ng mail, take care.
pd: if i misinterpreted something, i apologize beforehand.

I've been feeling a little better recently. Thanks for taking the time to read and give advice. <3

life is good tritnew

Sometimes it is

Yo, I'm late to the party but I never wanna leave something unsaid, so I'll say that I struggle with a lotta stuff in this post, I sink so deep into irony it's hard to make connections that are love and trust. which sucks because I wanna fix that, it's definitely hard for me. and it's hard going out (for different reasons) mainly that I'm always the one asking, and I don't always have the energy to do that. but I will say, I'm hopeful. I mean I'm never not hopeful, I'm sure anything could get better, possibly. but all this is to say that you ain't alone and your struggle isn't either and knowing that we're worth more than what we're facing right now is what helps us to keep going and get better. There's not a doubt in my mind it could get better. and knowing you, I'd bet good money that it would.

Thanks Rawki, love ya <3

you're a good person. things will get better <3

Love you Gecko <3
