Hello! Sorry for this weird vent I'm about to give you but sometimes when I interact with certain persons posts really quickly after their posted I get all panicked. Like 'what if they think I'm stalking them?' 'I interacted with their other post just a few minuites ago! What if it seems like I'm just sat on my phone waiting for them to post soemthing?'. Naturally, I know this is pretty irrational but I can't help but be anxious about what someone will think when I 'constantly' am interacting with their posts.
I don't even do it on purpose! Sometimes I'll just be on my phone and someone will post stuff one after the other and I'll just interact with it out of habit! Idk if I'm looking too much into it or not but maybe you could help? Have you ever had someone who consistently interacts with your posts? If so do you find it weird or anything?
Again, sorry for the weird vent. I just lay awake at night thinking about stupid stuff 😅
Hey Angel!! Your rant is not stupid or weird ♥️. It is valid. You are valid. I am proud of your for reaching out and sharing this.
What I hear is that you’re talking about interacting with people, and the anxiety and almost paranoia-like, panicked feelings that come with it, as it can feel like you are stalking them. First off, your feelings are valid. And your experiences are valid.
You asked if I have ever had people consistently interact with my posts. And if I find them/that weird…
The short answer is yes I have people like that, and no, I do not find it weird. Some of my closest friends on tumblr are exactly those people who consistently interacted with my content. And for the most part, it makes me happy to see people consistently interacting with my content.
However, I will note that there are exceptions, and this is part of a longer more complicated answer. When the consistent interactions from the person are innapropriate and/or they are not respecting my boundaries, this behavior is not tolerated. If the behavior is meant to be stalking like, or if it is targeting the person or blog, or has other bad intentions, then it is not okay.
I think that if it comes with good intentions or it isn’t done on purpose, what you are describing is perfectly alright. From what you have shared about yourself, you don’t seem to have intentions of misuse or violating others, so I think it’s alright. Try not to give it too much thought, sweet anon. You are doing great 💞💞💞
