this moment. this hug. this everything.
Whatās up. I have OCD and anxiety, and here on tungl dot com, there is a nice little type of post that makes my blood pressure flip the fuck out every time, and itās those āif you are reading this [x]ā / āreblog and [y] will happenā type reblog memes
You know the ones: money cat, lucky xyz post, that sort of shit. The revival of old school yahoo viral email chains. Even immunity rabbit or whatever ā same premise. Anything that says, āBy reading or reblogging this post, you are activating some specific effect.ā
Basically, most people can probably ignore them easily if they donāt like them; but others, especially those with particular psychological conditions (aka, ME) can actually suffer stress responses to posts like this. Obsessive-compulsive, schizophrenic spectrum, anxious, paranoid, magical thinking type disorders especially can see a superstitious post and have it automatically activate an anxious or compulsive reaction, because to the brain, itās like a new rule/parameter has suddenly been introduced to your environment without warning. Now suddenly, whatever atypical structures frame your brain function have to accommodate for an alien factor. <- I donāt know if any of this really makes sense; itās hard to articulate in a NT-accessible manner, but hopefully the general gist comes through.
Anyway. So far itās been basically impossible for me (and therefore, I presume, others as well) to avoid posts like this, because they donāt tend to have any sort of universally recognized term to tag warn for. As a result Iām basically always playing Russian roulette with my dashboard.
A while ago, I asked tweeter followers to vote on the best thing to call these, and most agreed that āsuperstitious postsā was fitting. So now Iām asking tomblr users to consider making my life and othersā lives easier and less stressful in One Easy Step:
Please
tag for #superstitious posts !
It would... honestly make a big difference if this were standardized and I will be eternally grateful ā¤ļøšŖ
