The “obsessing over people/content that makes you uncomfortable is a form of self harm” hit me hard. I’m a proshipper (and ex-anti) who’s still learning to let go of that mindset and that line was the final push I needed to realize that doing that is only hurting myself and my comfort. Thank you, Sinister.
Honestly, really glad to help.
Inflicting disturbing or unpleasant content on yourself can be such a hard habit to break. It’s something we struggle with ourselves in terms of the 24 hour news cycle and doomscrolling.
Just remind yourself that it *is* self harm, and you’re not in any way obligated to keep doing it to yourself.
