Socially Awkward Bookworms

EYYO! Nice to see you Rabbit!

Hope it will be fine. This is an eternal link - for now, at least. 

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

Hmm… dosen‘t work for me. Probably ’cause I don‘t own Discord so I‘ll probably just post in the thread.

[Trutharchivist he/him]

Huh. Weird. When I clicked my first invitation I think it offered me to create an account. 

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

Well, it says the address is invalid.

[Trutharchivist he/him]

Really weird. Are you on mobile? If so, maybe try to install Discord. I have no idea what the problem is, and hardly have a way to solve it.

Edit: my sister says it works. She has a Discord account, though, and has it installed on her phone. So I don't know. Is it just a webpage that says it's invalid, or a Discord page?

I also have a server link in my signiture that should be good.

Welcome to the cult!

Blasphemy!

[Trutharchivist he/him]

Tesh! Been a while since I saw you on the forums. Hi!

As a general rule, people who aren't socially awkward can be accepted as advisors for social situations (see in the first page of the thread). So, Rabbit, Calano's blasphemy is actually quite acceptable!

Someone wants to try the acceptance to the cult ritual? IIRC, it includes hoods, book scented candles and maybe s'mores.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

I'm no longer very socially awkward, only sometimes.

But do I still count as a bookworm if I haven't read a book in like over a year...?

We need to revive this thread.

Hello, I am a socially awkward bookworm. Sometimes I try to make new friends. If the other person isn't also a bookworm, it usually ends in awkward silence or book references that the other person doesn't get.

Hello and welcome!

It has been relatively quiet here lately, due to the law of decaying activity (after some point, the longer you are in the forum the less active you are), the opening of the Discord server (which isn't much more active, but still; link on this page, or in Tesh's signature. I think, I'm on mobile so I can't see), and... Well... The fact nearly everyone here is socially awkward probably isn't helping.

I have a different problem - I save loads of people I don't really know that much in my contacts, then I look through them and have no idea who those people are. 

Umm... Yeah, I have no idea what to say otherwise. Please come in, welcome.

Hey, while I did say this thread is relatively inactive, I'm with Ranryu - it can be revived, and it'd be great if it did! Might be easier to revive the Discord server (if anyone asks, I'm doing this Discord sales pitch because I live there more than here nowadays), so you're invited to join, but reviving this thread is also a worthy cause!

Only problem is, I'm not sure how to do it...

[CosmicShard8002 he/him]

Ok, I would likely be on discord more but I don’t have it on my phone, only my laptop which I’m not supposed to be on there very much

[Tesh Any pronouns]

We actually still have occasional book discussions on the Discord server, and sometimes people will pop in and say something and then things will get quiet again.

It would definitely be worth it to try and revive this thread though! 

[Edema Rue she/her]

Hewwo I thought the entire shard was a place for socially awkward bookworms? I guess it’s not? 

hi. Um. Hi?

[Trutharchivist he/him]

Do not presume that it's not. It's simply that... Umm...

Yeah, we opened this for some reason, probably for the more socially awkward users - because sometimes smaller groups are nicer!

Anyway, yeah, hello and welcome! Perhaps one day we'll actually do the initiation ceremony, with the hoods, book-scented candles and s'mores. (What does it say about me that the Google spell check guessed half this sentence?)

[Just-A-Stick she/her]

I definitely fall ( plummet to my death more like)  into this category. I find it SO hard to make new friends... but the ones I have I love! Oftentimes, if I have to be in a social situation i bring a book along and sit in the corner. ( the bigger the book the better cause than I feel smarter than everyone lol) If you ever see me, look for the person with their nose permanently stuck in a Brandon Sanderson novel
