i’ve been on reddit for… 6-7 years? it’s fine. i mean by that logic i should unalive myself, because everything is triggering. at best, it gives me an opportunity to practice my coping skills. at worst… i feel uncomfortable for a bit, don’t cope well, and whine about it to a friend lmao (which, to me, is also me trying to confirm i didn’t do anything Wrong)
Again with due respect that’s a big 180 from how you described it in your first post. That doesn’t sound like mental illness that just sounds like the human condition.
hard to say. i have been told i care too much about downvotes. maybe people just don’t admit how much it bothers them? i know they say upvotes, likes, hearts, etc. are a major dopamine hit, so i don’t see why the opposite (a dopamine drain) wouldn’t be true
