Mh… if I may suggest … how about creating a post “@Napster’s Poetry” (or is it AI-assisted poetry?) and add your poems there, one post for each poem, instead of creating a new thread for each one
That would make it easier for those who want to follow your poetic creations as well as for those who prefer to ignore them, I thin this way you’d make both groups happy
With rejection sensitivity it doesn’t really matter the intent when it feels like a needless gut punch.
With ADHD if things aren’t explained with a good viable reason then the karma chain is not easily visible.
Example: “pick your coat up off the floor and hang it up” in my mind then as a kid and as an adult and parent now, I can’t think of many good reasons why a coat should be hanging rather than laying on a floor. Wrinkles? Too vain? Bugs? Spiders and others still will climb. Dirt? The whole world is filled with bacteria. Aesthetics? Too much order is sterile and clinical. And the natural state of what the coat wants to be is a crumpled mess.
For me I don’t want to have to scroll through a whole list of poems to find the one want to read. And I wonder if any other writers would be insulted if they were asked to not have each work stand on their own but rather be lumped together as if their content was related or the effort for each equivalent.
I also don’t get to post unique titles for each poem in general chat if they were all lumped together in a heap.
Like trohde mentioned, it can be helpful both to those who would like to follow your work and those who would like to ignore it. For those who want to follow it they can click on the bell icon and track/watch the thread:
Similarly for those who don’t, they can mute the thread. If everything is split over multiple threads then, for the former group of people, this won’t help them follow your work because new poems will not be tracked. For the latter group, muting this thread won’t mute the others. They could block you, but the drawback is they wouldn’t be able to see any of your other comments in the forums.
A way to make headings for poems
You can make headings by using the “Tt” symbol in the message box:
That way poems can still have titles. You can also hyperlink to a specific post if you want to share it in chat: You can do this by clicking the time the post was made (top right corner of the post) then a popup will appear with the link to share:
Your first post in the thread could list the titles of your poems, and those titles could hyperlink to the correct post. When you add a new poem, you can edit your first post and add the title. Now your fist post is like a table of contents in a book. This might make your poems even easier to find than they are right now! For example:
It’s not unusual for poets to have their works collected in a book, even if the poems are not all related. This also happens for other short form written content, such as short stories.
Oh well, it’s easier to leave and be unattached than to have to change my behavior for others o7 it’s just unfortunate because it was the only place I stored them online xD
Clinging is suffering so why should I cling to this too o7
Oh well, that’s really sad, but it’s your choice obviously
And it’s sad, especially as you’re certainly not the only neurodivergent person here, my life has been difficult also, with quite extreme ADHD
Unique Title For The Following Paragraph
And I have found that sometimes changing my own behaviour has definitely made my life easier.
But, sure, OTOH clinging to our behaviour sometimes gives us that warm and fuzzy feeling, like that old comfort blanket, I get that also.
Maybe you can just think about it for a while, and reconsider? This wasn’t meant to be hostile, just to make it easier for all sides, while the way you did it just made it easy for yourself.
