If the site is abusive, why keep checking it to even know someone there is checking your profile? You have made it clear in your posts you feel that site is "toxic" and "toxic" enough you wish to warn others; yet, you continue to check in there?
Self-care might entail just moving on, getting out of a known toxic zone once and for all.
Please take good care of you!

Thank you so much, WC.
I am sorry you've had toxic experiences too. They indeed are very upsetting.
You make a good point -- why do I keep checking it? My bf is still on the site, and there are a couple other good friends I am still in touch with from that site, so I check it periodically.
But perhaps you're right. Maybe I should just disentangle myself entirely from it and not check it, even though I am no longer active or posting there. That would be exercising full self-care. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
