Hate that ragebait has become such common thing. I totally totally get we are all traumatized & reactionary rn. I get it. But we also need to prioritize community and take a step back when needed 2 regulate our nervous system if we have priv to do so. We owe it 2 ourselves & others. It's NOT easy- - ThreadSky

That's exactly the big reason why I have stepped away from social media lately. Even ppl with good intentions are feeding into the terrorism they are trying to inflict. The lack of hope they are trying to instill. It's psychological warfare & people are falling right into it. Protect your energy. xx

it rlly is agreed so sad

It's such a nightmare that it's encouraged even by platforms to do so.
Any engagement equalling positive has just made it to where people can say vile crap and still profit if everyone who comments disagrees or calls them out.
I don't get how or why that's a thing in this day.

But so vital. Pls. Be kind 2 yourselves & ask urself what the goal of u interacting is & truly think more than surface level. They WANT us overwhelmed, overworked, reactionary, fearful. & all of those emotions ARE valid. AVOIDING isnt good either- will suddenly boil up onto others b4 we can stop it-

alwaysdreamn.bsky.social•19 days ago

But using energy onto ppl & talking AT ppl instead of WITH people is not goona help either. It's a hard balance and no1 is perfect tho, I get it. Just try 2b mindful and think of the agenda ppl may have when you engage with things & also what the goal of u entering in convo is 2.

rage baiting people is such an awful practice. I hate it. ESP as an autistic pers. You don't know sometimes till it's too late and then pers just will continue to egg u further into convo. If u find urself in that situation in convo irl / online its OK 2 step away for bit. If anything for ur sanity-

alwaysdreamn.bsky.social•19 days ago

but also for safety. Their tactics they using they may not even be CONCIOUS they are doin rage baiting. They may be in a trauma response or even initially was also manipulated by others 2 have nervous sys dysfunction. But that's not on u to solve for them. Sometimes I get steppin away isnt possible-

alwaysdreamn.bsky.social•19 days ago

But in that case, next best thing is tryin best 2 disengage in safe way u can switching topics, regulating yourself either stim or comfort items anything u can 2 try & stay regulated is key. Activation is hard 2 go thru ESP rn. I am dealin with it SO much. They even demonize ppl who ARN'T activated-

alwaysdreamn.bsky.social•19 days ago

and try an give you guilt. Try not to let that consume u. Being AWARE of what u need 2b and ALSO being conscious of your mental well being is NOT a bad thing. Sometimes it can be a priv but that SKILL is needed no matter your situation and practicing it rn is so vital to survival. It's NOT the same-

Real 💕
I'm still on that train trying to train my nervous system out of jumping at first sight. Just getting an inch of progress is so freeing 😩

alwaysdreamn.bsky.social•19 days ago

relatable af. It's SO hard. like gods. ESP when ppl keep tryin egg you in 😭

eros-thecupid.bsky.social•19 days ago

It's the most annoying and sad thing when people keep pushing. Like knock it tf off, but also idk if they actually know how to cuz the rush easily turns compulsive 😓

alwaysdreamn.bsky.social•19 days ago

it rlly does and brain can get endorphins with it too. And then suddenly you find all energy used up and hrs gone. So tough >.< and sayin nuffin or steppin away is made 2 feel like "defeat" & give u "hopelessness"

eros-thecupid.bsky.social•19 days ago

People need to get more familiar with the block button tbh. Like I hate how people say it's losing to block someone, they've now gotta deal with it or be the asshole and use an alt to get around it. That's not a win 😂
