It kind of looks like there's some form of abuse going on within the gif. Just from our perspective. (Sorry)

to be honest I really dont bother with looking at the pictures, I have learned to just pass them by because many times my server doesnt load avatars, and pics over a certain amount of pixels. short version computer servers break down pictures and photos down into extremely small digital color blocks called pixels. each website and computer has their own capabilities of how many pixels they can load when loading photos, avatars, games, that kind of stuff. the computers I use are pretty old compared to those presently on the market. this means sometimes I dont get to see pictures, avatars on some websites I visit. they just appear on as a small white square with a red x in them. because of this unpredictability in whether or not the computer I happen to be using and the servers and internet access providers I happen to me using at that moment I have learned to pay more attention to someone texts in posts.

also though pics and graphics are fine they dont usually tell the whole story and can be misleading. on a website one time someone posted a pic of a little girl head down I thought wow thats one depressed person. when i posted based on the pic I discovered the person was praying, not depressed. I have learned that no matter what the pic its open to interpretation, the person may be posting a pic to me that looks like they are angry but in the end they might just be posting a pic because they happen to like that saying or that pic or are or are not what the pic is saying. many people forget to change their signatures and pics and then oh gosh thats not what I meant.

my point pics can lead into mis representations where as if Im reading the words I have a better chance of understanding where that person is at and why.

also sometimes graphics in a post can be triggering for others..

so I dont bother looking at the pics and I dont post pics, i rely more on the actual posts.

thanks...

do you enjoy using the older computers more?
im pretty good at computers.. can build one pretty decent for cheap..

but i understand about pictures misrepresenting things... also being triggering...
thats why i changed it...

but i was looking at it and it just perplexed me because it seemed like i was trying to say something with it.. of course i dont know what, dont really remember setting them..

it just made me feel strange as they made me feel like im fighting a losing battle with myself... in the one picture it seemed like i was trying to say here i am and grabbing ahold of the situation but it bursts through the door and im on the other side and the situation is taking control of me...

and the other one just made me feel like i was afraid and confused by something that shouldnt be...

but like the one i changed it to, i suppose the hatters gonna hat...

it wasn't an important question, not really sure why i posted it because its not that important... but i appreciate you guys words...

posting kind of helps a little, i have been trying to journal too but im getting confused with what i journaled and what i posted...

your question ...do you enjoy using the older computers more?....

its not really a matter of whether I .....like ......using older computers, in my job I have to use whats available when Im are online. sometimes that means using my cell phone, sometimes that means using the computers in the homes I visit, sometimes it means the hotels wifi service and my laptop when traveling...my point I dont always have access to top of the line internet and computers. when I am on an older computer I dont always have the luxury of seeing pics and graphics.

We often find your pictures triggering which is why we don't often respond to your threads and posts. Sometimes its hard to look.
Like that eye pic is hard for us but we know its there now and can choose not to look at it. But sometimes we have to go past.
Thanks for this!

You actually don't seem scary in the slightest, ES. You yourself do not come across as being 'scary'.
People get triggered by a whole lot of stuff and - really - the only person who is responsible for managing their triggeredness and exposure to triggers is themselves. And, because nobody has any idea what other peoples triggers are (and they literally could be ANYTHING!) it is pretty much impossible to never do anything that triggers other people.
All you can do - and all you should do - is you. Just do you.
