I don’t know if this fits here, but I’m having a godawful day so I wanted to make a post without people looking into my social media history and using it against me.

I’ll explain about what happened in another comment.

They have indeed. It is common behavior for bullies to do this. Do you want to share more?

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 For reposts, they’re to revive something that has either already been archived and to create a different discussion about them.”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.
