@logan_life To me it is like being invited to a party and I show up at a crowded space where I don't know anybody but that's okay.
I grab a beer and practice some social skills like fav'ing toots and randomly taking part in conversations whether I have been asked for it or not (it's my party, too...or...isn't it?).
Often I don't understand what's going on or I'm not interested then I leave and return later to find people I can stalk...ehhm...follow.
