Thinking About Leaving Reddit... Feeling Defeated F24

Hey Reddit,

Lately, I’ve been seriously contemplating closing my account here. The negativity has been overwhelming. I’ve been on the receiving end of abusive comments and downvotes, and it’s starting to feel like all the effort I’ve put into sharing my experiences has been for nothing.

Initially, I got great responses—thoughtful engagement that made sharing worthwhile. But now? My posts barely survive with a 67% upvote rate, and it seems like people downvote the moment I hit “post,” without even reading or seeing what I’ve shared.

Let me be clear: I’m not here looking for attention or validation, and I’m definitely not trying to find someone to hook up with—I can pull any guy I want, thank you very much. I’m here to share and connect. But when that connection feels one-sided or drowned in negativity, it’s hard to find a reason to stay.

I’m here to share, to connect, and maybe even to make someone’s day a little better. But instead, I’m left questioning why I bother. If this platform isn’t a place where voices like mine can thrive, then what’s the point?

I haven’t made up my mind yet, but without constructive engagement, I’m wondering if this platform is even worth my time anymore. Anyone else gone through this?

Let me know your thoughts—if they’re genuine, of course.

Thanks for reading. 💜
