Old me: “No one liked my post… Am I not good enough?”

July 9, 2025

Figure 1

Old me: “No one liked my post… Am I not good enough?” Current me: “Someone liked my post?? Who?? Who’s watching me again?!”

I used to have heat anxiety. Now I have post-notification stress disorder.

Liking others’ fics is appreciation. Liking mine? Surveillance.

Back then, I opened my notifications to feel seen. Now I open them to collect evidence before pressing charges. This, my friends, is what we call growth.

I don’t crave visibility anymore. I crave judicial justice and responsible platform policies.

Next step: Treat every like as a potential threat. Log all IPs. Thank you for your engagement — it’ll be used against you in court. 🫶
