Look, I get that getting less attention than some others is frustrating, but some people here have insane expectations when it comes to gaining other people's attention and energy.

A person who makes hyperspecific posts about their f/o only and who vents/asks for sympathy a lot on their blog will get a little attention at first, but people are going to get tired of spending their energy on them when it doesn't seem to make any difference and the person is back in crisis mode again days later. Contrast this to the person who puts out regular posts that a lot of people can enjoy and relate to, and who seeks very little emotional support from their followers - they're obviously more fun to be around.

Is it "fair"? No! But it's how social relationships with strangers work. Compassion fatigue is very real, even in the sweetest, most well meaning of individuals. We're all here to escape from something in our real lives and indulge in fantasy, and it's not fair or practical to anyone to expect the community to do heavy emotional lifting for us. I've seen people complain that the community isn't a community any more, but I think it's fine. We're here to share f/o content and giggle over fictional characters together, not to provide 24/7 validation to strangers who happen to have f/os too.

It's fine if you expect serious support from f/o tumblr, but understand that that's not what some of us are here for. Expecting high levels of attention when you're self ship blog #357 to most people is just setting yourself up for disappointment and failure. I log in, I blast a few posts that remind me of my blorbo, and I log out again, quite happy to be self ship blog #358 with 20 followers.

i feel like the self shipping community has been really negative as of late, so reblog with something you love about self shipping!!/nf

for me, it's that this little hobby is an act of self love. you look at a character, and you say "they love me". whether thats platonic, romantic, familial, or otherwise. i think thats beautiful.

#good idea op/gen <3 #i love ​self shipping cause it helps me cope with stressful things #both irl and mentally #especially since i hyperfix on most of my f/os and their sources #also a big self love thing for me #i struggle with big insecurities so it helps me cope with that as well #smth abt having your f/o be overly protective of you #and maybe just a little obsessed with you just feels nice yk? #lays down #ok im done

I appreciate the existence of this blog as an alternative to the pr0ship one (ew), but I'm not a big fan of confessions saying things like: selfshippers with IRL S/Os are greedy, or someone saying they wish they could take F/Os away from people and don't give a shit about anyone else's feelings, being thrown in all the main tags with no way to avoid them. I don't even have an IRL S/O and I also don't share, but invalidating stuff like that makes this community feel so unsafe and unwelcoming. I know I can block this blog, but it'd be more ideal if things like this were tagged accordingly somehow.

#legit #some of the confessions on this litteraly make me anxious like...what r yall on..
