Not sure if this one is related, but I’ll share it anyway:
I’ve had people complain about my replies and reposts being months or years old and assume that I’m “drama hungry”.
One guy said:
“I've had people try to argue with me over comments I left months prior. I find it VERY odd. I've left the conversation behind, I've probably changed my mind on the finer details.
From my perspective, finding a months old post, finding a random comment in it, and then being super standoffish with a complete stranger (over something they've probably forgotten) in the hopes they'll respond DOES betray a great deal of desperation. It's a rather sad attempt to get any form of human connection.
Positive responses to things that were never arguments are fine though.”
My reply was:
“I can understand that, but that’s not really what I’m actually talking about. I’m specifically talking about reposts and comments in general.
I don’t expect anyone to respond to something I responded to that has been left alone for a while, especially if it’s negative.
I just throw out my opinion and leave it as it is. For reposts, they’re to revive something that has either already been archived and to create a different discussion about them.”
His reply to me was:
“Then why are you dredging it up? Whoever you're replying to is going to get a notification; even if they choose not to continue the conversation, you've still dragged them back to it.
I get wanting to share your opinion, but time and place matters.”
I was hurt by what he said. It hurts me that people think I’m weird for doing something like that.
