Prologue
I remember a time in nano history when it wasn't completely dead and nanotrannies still had the habit of oversharing their thoughts and life details.
I don't know who started the meme because by the time I joined nanochan, OG Denpa was already at it,
spamming several textwalls a day with the contents of his deranged mind.
That was the Age of Denpa on nanochan.
Now, don't get me wrong, everybody HATED the denpa, including me.
He had this nasty tendency to derail every single thread on /b/ and /l/ and make it all about himself,
and the fact that he is bluepilled af didn't help it. But thanks to the mere exposure effect, Denpa started to grow on me and I started to share some pieces of my mind too (nanonymously ofc) when he was around.
Fast forward to the aftermath of the downfall of our homeland and I had already been fully groomed into becoming an identitytranny.
The Age of Overshare
After the exodus to lambdachan, I started to casually write textwalls unironically.
Lynn and FaggotChan were each writing their own diary threads.
Anao sometimes showed up to page us on what he is up to and talk about his life.
Then that shinjifag suddenly came back and started writing extensive reports on why he is the biggest faggot in existence.
And denpa still somewhat had it in him to textwall too.
Mind you that those were all already identitytrannies on nanochan.
And lambdachan was deader than dead before we invaded it, so the majority of posts was just us trannies doing nothing but dilate all day long.
Resistance to our conquest was quickly neutralized.
Between us talking to ourselves, newfags started to show up and interact with us too.
Some tried to talk about tech and math (I think the admin was shilling his IB on other places as /tech/ and /math/ oriented),
but they soon learned that non-overshare threads quickly got drowned out of the overboard.
And so newfags started to try and overshare too.
Sometimes they'd create their own threads, but mostly they'd join in convos on threads that already existed.
That was during a time when most nanotrannies were active at the same time, so they'd have lots of frens to talk to.
I, especially, would dump a textwall on the lap of everyone who posted anything, so they were basically dragged into a textwall construction zone by force to learn the joys of oversharing with complete strangers.
Oh yea, I'm a massive textwall slut.
Newfags would all feel so very special that they had a penpal to write lengthy letters to for the first time in their lives.
But for me, it was just another Tuesday.
And of course I'd exploit this dynamic to verbally and emotionally abuse them fufufu (I'm evil, see?)
And they'd just put up with it lmfao
Trying to rationalize that if I'm spending so much time talking to them, I can't REALLY hate them, can it?
Hell, that means I probably like them, actually.
lol
dead wrong
One such newfag coped for like a full month before he realized that I truly hated his guts.
What they all failed to understand is that they were witnessing the phenomenon known as Textwall Exponentiation (coined by yours truly), which is when two faggots keep writing longer and longer textwalls in a game of oneupsmanship.
Epilogue
Nowadays all nanotrannies got something better to do with their lives (like going to school, or being abused by their ebfs 24/7), so the engine that powered the overshare hugbox has died. And with no fellow trannies to talk to, what's the point?
Perhaps if at least the site had fully died so that the overshare threads still showed up on /All/, there would be hope for penpalling over long time spans.
But instead, a new invasion occurred: the schizoposters. Unfortunately, even autismos cannot compete with a schizo's ruthlessness when it comes to spam.
We have this one nutjob that has been spamming historical pictures for like a year now, and he just. doesn't. stop.
Nobody talks to him, all his posts get sent to a containment board, but he just. keeps. going.
By now any human would have tired out from spamming the same shitty gimmick literally all day for several months.
But this is no regular human.
This is a vampire. Over 300 years old.
And so the Dark Age of Schizophrenia began.
Perhaps if I hadn't bullied every oversharing newfag into oblivion, the comfy vibes wouldn't have gone away... oopsie teehee~ >w<
Oh well!
Anyway, these days even I don't overshare anymore.
It's kinda pointless since nobody replies in kind anymore.
I think a big reason people overshare wasn't even just for the attention, but to discuss things in their lives they want feedback in.
At least that's why I was oversharing the most during my girlcrazy phase. It was all new to me and I wanted input from others (also to brag lmao).
But now that I have been uberblackpilled and learned that AWALT, I kinda gave up on all that and went back to my shutin NEET lifestyle. And there are no secrets here, I'm already very used to this, so there is no point in talking about it with other hikkis because nothing ever happens when you are a hermit.
How overshare hugboxes come to be: a theory
ok so like you basically just need to start it yourself
it helps if you have another friend to overshare in public with
but i think talking to yourself still works
after while ppl will just join in on their own
i believe the mechanisms that cause this go something like this:
>anon sees identitytranny oversharing
>anon starts to develop a parasocial relationship with the identitytranny
>anon attempts to evolve the relationship into a real social thing by interacting with the overshare thread
>the illusion of intimacy causes anon to overshare too
>the identitytranny responds to anon's post, which encourages him to keep going
>anon gets intoxicated by the attention he is getting and being able to express his deranged thoughts with a 'friend'
>if anon does not get bullied into oblivion by the tranny, before she knows it, anon has become an oversharetranny too and will begin dilating
>and so the infection spreads
ofc you need one hell of a crazy tranny to put up with the bullying that ensues before oversharing is normalized
