I’ve treated Lemmy as a fun, silly blog since I made my account. I love how you can freely post anywhere and as much as you like, unlike on Reddit. I’m also a teen who grew up online with unrestricted internet access and does online school, so I’m a bit addicted to being online. I love how much more interactive the comments feel here, despite it being a smaller platform. I’ve had fun reading and interacting with people. But I think I might delete my account and everything, because people analyzing my behavior and accusing me of things has started to get to me. Most recently, someone accused me of trying to manipulate people because of my age and gender. All I wanted to do was make people feel some fun and giggles. I’m wondering if you’ve ever felt something similar.
Not just comments, negative things in general. I think in my case it’s connected to a hereditary predisposition to depression and anxiety. The bad stuff makes a large impact and the good stuf just doesn’t seem to produce any neural pathways. It’s physiological. Some of my family got much better with modern antidepresants. I went a different way and I’m ok now as well, it took decades though.
Hm, I guess that makes sense. I have a friend who behaves a little like that.
Well, I’m sorry it took decades, but I admire your hard work. :)
