i get that posts here are designed to be like. less Enagement Metric'd but also sometimes i make a post and want the validation of others seeing it lmao. twitter letting me have like 5 or 6 people be like "Like" makes my brain go "ooo" and it's hard to remind myself i've always been screaming at a wall, actually

in reply to @jayde's post:

it's genuinely really hard! especially on a private account, where i'm being Extra Vulnerable, a lack of response (or even just likes but no comments) can leave me feeling pretty upset. i'm trying to train myself out of this, but i think it's important to be kind and understanding in the meantime, too, yeah

yeah it's weird. my brain has become the broken mcflurry machine at mcdonalds and i need to go all "understandable have a nice day"

typing that out made me reflect and maybe im just absolutely broken beyond repair

but yeah twitter definitely conditions the like feature to nearly act as a read reciept, but its not, its the "maybe someome else will see this" button, but our brains treat a lack of likes as a lack of care and then it all gets weird off platforms like that

Have a like and a comment to get you going through the day <3

I do feel good seeing engagement with whatever i post and comment. But it's easier for me to enjoy my 2-4 notifications a day when i don't see like/retweet counters like on twitter. Comparing to others would rob me of my smol little doses of joy.
