I know right? I've seen people justify their tracking by saying it's a mental health issue, but who cares about reasons, it's still annoying and totally OK to unfollow them for it.

justify their tracking by saying it's a mental health issue

Ok, how does *that* work?

Re: NF

[a_potato]

There's an alarming tendency among some people to believe that respecting/supporting a mental health issue means enabling it.

Re: NF

[diet_poison]

Right, but how does tracking the number of followers you have even relate to that?

Re: NF

[a_potato]

Ah.

If I had to guess, I'd say it would relate to an anxiety-based disorder.

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

Easy. Tracking things is a really common OCD symptom.

Side eyeing everyone in this thread tbh. It's easy enough to blacklist someone talking about followers. It doesn't hurt anyone, and if it is their OCD rearing up, they can't really help it.

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

Just as easy to unfollow them

Re: NF

[diet_poison]

Side-eyeing people for unfollowing someone whose posts they don't want to see...?

Nobody's entitled to someone following them dude, and you can unfollow for any reason.

Re: NF

[badass_tiger]

mental health issue

Yeah but Tumblr says that about literally everything.

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

I saw someone yesterday say that they don't "like" posts because it causes too much anxiety for them. and it's like...isn't that one of the most benign things you can do? I understand if you just don't want to like posts but it's beyond me how it could be nervewracking

Re: NF

[diet_poison]

I feel like that option should alleviate anxiety because it means you can show support without it showing up on your blog for people to see?

IDK I haven't dealt with much anxiety myself.

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

I get self-conscious about liking stuff because there are people I know IRL who know many of my social media accounts. Our fandom interests have grown apart over time and they would absolutely judge me for what I'm into now. I need to care less about what they think, but they're very opinionated and I can't escape them in the real world, so I just don't like things at all. I'm probably going to get new Twitter and Tumblr accounts soon...

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

na

On tumblr at least, you can make your "likes" private so no one has to know what posts you like (although, of course, they can see the ones that you reblog)

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

Welp, off to find that setting now! Thank you for the tip.

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

no problem. it's right under https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/[blog name] if you haven't found it yet. Even so, making a tumblr that people irl don't know about might still be a good idea. Tumblr is so much more fun when you can reblog whatever you want without giving a fuck what people think

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

Could be because other people see that you've liked something of theirs, and if you like a lot of their things, it could draw attention to you, and excess attention can make people uncomfortable.

A year ago I was about the most calm chill person you'd ever meet, then I had something very traumatic happen and now certain little things will make my anxiety go through the roof...so I understand both sides. I was triggered recently from a song being slightly too surreal and it put me into a nightmarish dissociative state for days.

[(Anonymous)]

That's the thing for me, and why, while I'm careful about all the major trigger warnings, I don't necessarily understand the point of them. Frank discussion about rape doesn't trigger me. Smelling lemongrass does, because a bottle of essential oil got knocked over on my nightstand while it was happening and that's all I could smell. Fortunately that's not something that will catch me online, but it's not like I could walk past an aromatherapy store and hold them accountable for my being triggered. I certainly understand, but what if it's something as simple as a phrase or a lyric? There's no reasonable way to ask that a phrase be warned for.

Re: NF

[(Anonymous)]

Well I note that I follow or unfollow as my interests change, and try not to worry about it.

I do get anxiety on tumblr sometimes like I'm trying to scroll to where I stopped last time and wondering when I'll get there and if I have time or will MISS SOMETHING FOREVER. :O
