I was looking for someone else to mention this.

The karma system on Reddit trapped me hard and the constant validation seeking was really a drag on my mental health. Getting one negative score comment would ruin my day, I really just want to be understood. I realize how unhealthy that is, but I’m not really sure what to do about it besides just not interacting with that place anymore. I don’t have as much of a problem with being wrong in real life, it’s more the fact that online I have the opportunity to take my time, be meticulous, edit my post to make sure it’s perfect and I have said exactly what I wanted to in the exact way I wanted to…

Coming here and being able to disable the counts has been an absolute dream.
