Does anyone else just get horrible anxiety whenever you see a notification on here? Like what if somebody said something nasty to me and I’m just about to open it.
Hey, way to face your fear! Hope you have a nice day
I’d say that generally applies to me across any app, that’s why I mostly lurk. I’d just block people who are dicks.
Not really, but there are some communities I refuse to post in, and certain kinds of posts that I always disable notifications for, because I know I am going to get the nastiest, ugliest notifications because lemmings refuse to acknowledge that I get the notifications and not Trump or Hegsheth or whomever. If I misjudge something and it starts to draw awful responses, I just delete it – there’s nothing to be done to stem the tide otherwise and deletion fixes the problem pretty immediately without any downside to me.
Not too much, but I kinda get it. If you’re feeling “horrible anxiety” about what a complete stranger, who knows nothing about you, said, you need to get offline and get around other humans.
I see of a lot of similar anxiety complaints around here that make me anxious. I need you to know, this sort of thing isn’t normal in the general population. For example, there’s not a soul on my block, of any age or race, who would give two shits and would look at me strangely over the question.
