So much this!
I have been here off and on for 5 years. I have had to take breaks because the gossip and drama can be unreal at times!
I don't do drama, attention seeking, or people that don't stay in their own lane.
We are all supposed to be adults.... I left high school a long time ago.
It's hilarious the things that I have heard over the years. I would learn new stuff about myself every day! Very educational. 😉😂
I used to care in the beginning, and would waste my time letting it affect me, or trying to correct people.
Now, I straight up don't care. I have learned the hard way not to fully trust people here. Not everyone that appears to be your friend, is. I freely admit I am more guarded and keep everyone at arms length.
I run with my pms locked and am very selective who I reply too. Some say I'm a bitch, and maybe I am.
I'm definitely less trusting and more detached with people than I was when I started. I come here to shoot the shit, then be on my merry way. I am also super selective of what I share about myself.
Cage has been the downfall of many happy couples as it can be very toxic at times. I have witnessed many promising dynamics crumble under the influence of Cage.
I think the turning point for me, was when people were saying I said things/did things, and my internet was OFF all weekend. I wasn't even in an area which supported it.
It made me truly see how toxic Cage can be. I'm sure any social media platform has it's issues. That's part of the reason I have a very small online footprint.
I have always and will always make my own decisions about people. They will be based on my experiences with them, not anyone else's. I am my own person, period.
There are some positive aspects of Cage. It has its purpose, and can serve you well, depending on how you use it.
