I agree that you have trouble telling if you’re involved in drama or not.
In every instance that I can see, before you started breaking rules you’ve talked about how upset you or others were.
Can you let that be your warning that “Something is happening that I can’t judge, so I’d better back off”?
Another warning sign seems to be when you say things like
And some random person just end up disagreeing with [me]. Random people disagreeing with you is 100% ok on this site, and given the size of our user base you should expect someone to always have a different opinion. Now, tomorrow, or 2 years from now, someone will disagree with you.
You have been so hyper-vigilant about Starlight Glimmer “Haters”, however, that you have been perceiving threats and attacks even when people aren’t even talking about her, on images that have nothing to do with her.
And you’ve gotten a little better about that, but now you appear to be hyper-vigilant about drama, and you seem to perceive drama where it doesn’t exist - until you start trying to control or limit what others are saying, or start telling others to leave the conversation. Then there’s lots of drama, but the drama is all about you.
So, if I may, your approach to the site appears to be a bit both angry, and at the same time fragile. And I think it’s because you have a very hyper-vigilant approach to things.
In other words, maybe you should just relax.
That’s why
keep suggesting that you instead focus on fun, rather than drama.
If you aren’t having fun in a thread, then leave the thread. Because if you wait until you sense “drama” then there’s a good chance (given your past behavior) that you’ll be the person creating the drama, and the drama will all be about you.
So - try letting “Am I having fun” be the question you ask. If the answer is “No”, then go do something that is fun for awhile. And come back to the site when you can enjoy yourself.
Because being vigilant here all the time, monitoring conversations, making sure that drama isn’t breaking out, watching for “haters” - after months of that kind of approach to the site, it’s going to really suck for you and everyone around you.
And that’s where we are.
So please look for fun, not drama. Look for happiness and joy, not haters and trouble.
