I have left shifting.
I STILL LURK on tumblr itself so a random post or random ask response may happen. Everything on this account will be left up bc the effort of deleting or pirating every. Single. Post is a no. I might check my old stuff in the inbox occasionally to see if there’s anything I want to answer but otherwise I will be leaving the asks and such
Here is this big Masterpost thing with a bunch of links here. Here is the old pinned post. Off a quick search here are some active shifting accounts sorry for the tags: @shiftingshiftingshifting (hi) @my-reality-my-rules @shiftingxsparkles
1. Do I no longer believe in shifting?
Yeah no I rly don’t. Maybe deep down it’s hard to fully shake a belief you’ve gotten into for like a year or whatever. But like…. no. I just know I’m frustrated at myself by the way I brought it here and I feel guilty about the role I played in creating the community here. Because it’s just… aaah.
Because let’s be honest. Nobody here is using it for anything other than escapism—there is like, no shifting blog with a DR that’s not centered around a fun piece of media or a fun scenario or something. You have to admit it. Even if you don’t think you’re doing it, it’s just really escapism.
And because of the demographic on this site you really have a bunch of teens looking for spiritual explanations for things that are to others clear mention health issues or just common stuff (dissociation, hallucinations, sleep paralysis) and it’s just…… Ah.
AND guys. The CIA documents don’t prove shifting. They really do not. There are better explanations on this but like. Have we actually read them…? Or do we just parrot the ‘proof?’ Like. Ancient cultures had shifting. WHAT ancient culture? I’ve seen the rare mention of Hinduism. And the evidence for that is WHERE? Evidence. What specific source?? There never is one. The response is usually passive aggressive abt doing ur own research or not demanding answers…. because they probably don’t know. I’ve LOOKED. I just don’t see it anywhere?? Or heard even why people say that?? I’m literally begging anyone to point me somewhere. Y’all don’t know and you don’t know because I also didn’t know! I didn’t fact check anything when I echoed it or believed it. I just accepted it. I do not think I’m the only one. I know I’m not.
Are we going to talk about the shifters who’ve admitted they lied, and the implications they have? I’m not big on shifting tiktok so I can’t remember names but I’m pretty sure there’s been multiple decent sized shifting creators undergo drama about admitting to lying. And then everyone goes like THIS OTHER CREATOR WOULD NEVER <3 genuinely how do u know that cause people probably said that about the one who just got exposed ?
There is a major issue with clear mental health experiences being interacted with, encouraged, and worsened by others. Seeing shit and hearing shit, major dissociation, experiences that doesn’t make sense within the concept of reality shifting and the logic that’s in place—it really sounds like unchecked psychosis and other mental illness is being encouraged by people who take anything as shifting related. Some of y’all don’t need to be told you’re getting closer and closer or that you minishifted or whatever. You need help. Me included! I wasn’t shifting. I was mentally ill. Nobody in the shifting community recognized that because rarely anyone can differentiate.
I don’t even want to mention the suicide parts of respawning. Who knows if people actually killed themselves and it wasn’t just internet rumors? It may be true but I’ve never seen a source. But the whole thing as a concept? People trying to leave this reality forever, involving death or not? We really should have paid more attention to that as a community and asked what we were doing that could bring about something as fucked as that rather than just going We Don’t Do That Here. Like in hindsight…. Oh Boy
Let’s say shifting isn’t real. It doesn’t matter if you believe, you always have to acknowledge there’s a chance you’re wrong. And in that scenario: these kids dissociated and killed themselves because of us as a community. We’re just going to shuffle away from that?
And okay, let’s say shifting is real: I’ve seen people ask why they should care about this reality if they’re just going to shift, I’ve seen people talk about how disconnected they got with this reality because of shifting. If it’s real it’s a Big Fucking Thing and I just think it’s often being used recklessly because we are young. Adults in the community are usually like, 20 to 25 at BEST. They are still young. Yes I’ve seen a few exceptions but that generalization is based off the majority of what I have seen. Age has been so warped by the concept of minors versus adulthood where it’s like once you’re legally an adult people think you’ve got the mental capacity of someone who’s 60. Your brain is still developing. In the grand scheme of things, you are still young. Most importantly: You are still impressionable. You are still more susceptible to mental health struggles due to your place in life.
And I’m gonna be so honest: yeah yeah no timeline to shift but. I really haven’t seen one person from the old days of shiftblr who’s successfully shifted since then. More and more people I see in shifting comment sections are asking for help because it’s been years and it hasn’t happened yet. How large are we gonna grow as a community with nobody but a select few having shifted? How long are we going to wait without ever questioning it? And additionally, a lot of people after a long time ‘shift’ with lucid dreaming method and I would like to point that out. Or just minishift (?) or shift once and can’t for a long time.
2. What’s your opinion on spirituality in general then?
Idk I had this question up for a while as a “I still believe in manifestation’ disclaimer to try and soften the blow of leaving but I don’t care abt any of that anymore—the point abt shifting is I truly don’t believe it’s another reality but that people are finding ways for like intense mediation/lucid dreams that mimic reality.
Bottom line, I just want a fresh start away from this. I don’t like being a Person People Look To For Advice. Like if someone’s going to make a video essay on shiftblr one day I don’t wanna be An Even Bigger Part than I very well might be
Like I don’t want to overestimate my importance bc I am sooooo super irrelevant now. But I would like to point out I started a lot of these hashtags the community used. I came up with #shiftblr. If memory serves, I was the first exclusively shifting centric account. I know at least another account had mentioned it before, but I’ve been around a while.
I’m not someone who’s leaving because I’ve gone off the rails crazy, or because it didn’t work, or I’m turning on shifting because I just tried it once and decided it must be false. I was fully immersed in this community and STILL made the decision to leave. If you can’t handle that, if you still feel like I haven’t tried it ‘right’ or I’m misunderstanding stuff and THAT’S why I don’t believe, if u keep finding annoying justifications like it’s impossible for someone to validly stop believing, you annoy me. please leave me alone at this point it’s been ages
