I wish I knew how to be social

but I never got into social media

because of my anti-social disorder

flaring up and scrolling through countless strangers’ posts,

updates,

thoughts,

tweets,

notes,

creating a horizon blinking

every five seconds after another update,

because I can’t help but see nothing

while seeing too much,

getting caught up in everything I don’t like

until I’m still up at 3am while refreshing my exes social media profile

and wondering if she’s as miserable as me
