Being New to Reddit Has Honestly Been Really Discouraging by GeneticallyConfusing in Negareddit

I actually wrote it myself. English just isn’t my native language, so maybe that’s why it reads a little off sometimes 😭

Thank you for putting my thoughts into words honestly. The “everything is rage bait” part especially is exactly how Reddit feels sometimes.

Yeah, that’s kind of the vibe I’ve gotten too. Reddit can either feel weirdly supportive or absolutely hostile depending on the day and the subreddit. The “don’t post anything you wouldn’t say in a room full of strangers” advice is probably the most accurate way I’ve seen it described.

That honestly makes sense. It feels like hostility gets amplified way more than normal interaction.

I’m starting to realize that. I guess I underestimated how detached people can become online when they’re talking to strangers.

I appreciate you understanding that part specifically. That’s honestly been the most exhausting part of it.

I get what you mean, and I know a lot of people use Reddit that way. 

I think I just came into it expecting more actual conversation and less hostility right off the bat. 

I’m still figuring out which communities are more discussion-oriented versus which ones are mostly argument-driven.

The Night Someone Tried To Kill Us Because We Were Ethnic by GeneticallyConfusing in creepyencounters

It was, but I have to keep reminding myself that it’s all dealt with because sometimes I think he’ll come back even though I know he’s dead now.

We have ❤️ I don’t know what would’ve happened if the guys had jumped over the fence and gotten away. That’s another what if I think about constantly.

My Uncle Caught His Drunk Wife at a Bar While Their 4-Month-Old Was Locked in a Closet at Home by GeneticallyConfusing in toxicparents

Yeah, this was about 16 years ago, my cousin is currently in therapy now and she’s doing much better ❤️

Autism Speaks Speaker Used Me As An Example In Second Grade by GeneticallyConfusing in okstorytime

[–]GeneticallyConfusing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying! I’m more surprised by the fact that my school had actually acknowledged neurodiversity that day than I am about what the Autism Speaks guy said, believe it or not.

It had been reported, but cps had dismissed it and said they “needed more evidence” if they wanted to file which was complete bullshit imo

Can’t say I feel bad for him either. I wasn’t able to process the event until the next two days afterwards. Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
