My greatest heartbreak is that I'll never read every book on my tbr. I want to get lost in all of them.

Yesterday, I read my 1,000th book.
I only started tracking my reading a decade ago, so anything from when I was in school isn't counted in this reading goal, but I'm still shocked and in awe.
A thousand reads in a decade... It sounds crazy to me.
I wanted to share this with someone, because everyone else in my life is like 👍 that's cool, and I'm like ...no, you don't understand 😭 lol, but I know that PBs will get me ❤️
I'm so happy I've reached this goal, and I hope everyone else who has a goal like this accomplishes it as well!!

"If not friend, why friend-shaped?" is so real 😭😭
I'm horrible at starting friendships and/or maintaining them if they're not in a physical capacity (the maintaining part, I rarely talk to new people... I'm too introverted for that).
I see people creating friendships on here, and it just makes me think of the Squidward meme where he's looking out his window at SpongeBob and Patrick lmao
I’d love to hear more perspectives on:
- why you follow someone else on PB and
- what types of interactions you typically have
I tend to follow people who have similar taste in books and/or a library that I can yoink from! I also pretty much 100% follow back anyone who follows me. I absolutely love following others that reciprocate likes/upvotes/comments.
For interactions, I ♥️ most of my friends’ updates and tend to comment on bigger milestones (leveling up, badges, etc.) unless they do not interact with me in that way. I don’t want to be a bother if someone else doesn’t find value in likes or upvotes, or doesn’t comment on others’ posts.
But then I sometimes get sad when I see users who follow me interacting a lot with others, but not me. If not friend, why friend-shaped?
So, what about you? Are you more of a yapper and not a liker? Does it hurt your feelings if someone follows you and doesn’t interact? And then what do you do - nothing, block them, or unfollow?
Anyway, I realized hearing perspectives and experiences from others could help give me insight into how we each utilize the “friend” portion of PB. As of right now, I’m only limited to my personal experience! Thanks for your thoughts. 💗✨
