That's quite a problem, OP. Whether or not you continue under the same username, people will be disagreeing with you all the time. Heck, this will happen whether you're on tumblr or not, it's an inevitable part of living. Might it help if you could put your finger on the specifics of what exactly you're afraid of? Then you could address just how realistic/unrealistic those fears are.

This.

OP, it sounds as though you have a fear of conflict as much as, if not more so, than a fear of truly speaking your mind. And that's understandable, most of us would probably choose conflict-free if that was possible.

But like AIRT says, there will always be people you have to deal with in life that will disagree with you. If you're having that hard a time with it on Tumblr, among (presumably) strangers, then it might be an idea to consider getting some RL support to work through it. It sounds as though your difficulty with this stems deeper than some asshats on Tumblr, and if it's getting to the point where you're afraid to speak your mind even on the really important things, then it might be a good idea to talk to someone about it. As someone who also struggles a lot with even the mildest of conflicts, I know it relates back to RL experiences and that awareness helps me put dealing with e.g. Tumblr or F!S in a better perspective.

I think you're also putting yourself in a much more isolated firing-line than you need to. You are NOT going to be the only person that's voicing an argument a certain way. Honestly. You aren't. There will be many others who've said the same or similar things to you, and there's no reason to think you, out of all those people, will get especially singled out. You might, but there's a much higher likelihood of getting NO response than getting hateful responses. Like the anon who felt ignored on F!S, the truth is MOST people's posts and opinions and views just disappear into the ether once they're posted. In the kindest possible way, most people won't notice your opinion.

In the meantime, you definitely don't need to avoid your blog for weeks or months -- Tumblr forgets about one thing and moves onto something else in a matter of hours, so believe me, anything longer than a couple of days (especially if you're not fuelling the fire by responding, which you aren't because you're not there) and you're already old news.

This pretty much.
