Because I'm nervous I guess? Discord is so fast-paced, though I might just... and I try posting a lot on Mastodon and interacting with people and praising their work and asking them questions, but I just kinda get brushed off. People who joined after me get picked up pretty quickly because they're actually good at what they do. It's just disheartening, I guess. It's like I'm a burden no matter where I go or what I do, and I don't know if I'll ever really belong anywhere.

No shame in starting your own topic and just talking about stuff youre personally into, you dont need to force yourself into liking things you arent as interested in.
I dunno, I feel like people respond well if you ask them about what they are up to/what they enjoy and they will be more receptive to listen if you talk about your stuff. (Well, sometimes people are busy or they aren't that interested, it's like that with an friend, really. Like trying to get them to watch a TV show you like, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.) I just think of Discord type things as a giant watercooler people walk up to and randomly walk away from. Sometimes the conversation is awesome, sometimes there's nothing to talk about. If you log on regularly and keep posting, that's what makes it seem like everyone knows each other/is friends.
