I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
Yeah. In my opinion it’s slowly getting worse. I don’t feel like posting any more because it’s usually an instant downvote.
Please ignore the down votes. They don’t count for anything. You could say the most intelligent thing a human has ever said on this earth, and you would still get a couple of downvotes. People are such a beautiful kaleidoscope of differing talents and likes and dislikes, it makes for a beautiful and rich world, full of beautiful art, (and ugly art) and things. But part of that beauty is those vast and many beautiful things mean there’s going to be some people who don’t feel your vibe, which sucks, but theres gotta be that yin and yang balance, little bit of bad in the good. And if the trade off was less expanses of creativity and original thought, for never being disliked, I would not choose that option.
So every time someone dislikes me, or down votes, irl or online, I remember that little bit of bad is part of being able to access so much beauy in expansive thought and creativity, and I look for my people, those down voters, just aren’t my people, no ill will! If I see something down voted that I don’t agree should be down voted, I up vote it. Stick around, keep commenting, give more credence to those who actually give constructive advice, than a button press, that’s super low effort, and might have even been accidental!
Why do you care about votes, in either direction? We’re all just random internet strangers.
With the utmost respect I don’t really give a fuck if people agree with me or not. I’m not here for a popularity contest, either way.
I’m a (hu)man with my own mind.
