Simblr isnât going to be anything other than stress if you have expectations of being a âbigâ simblr, aka, a simblr who gets lots of interaction and validation. If youâre satisfaction on this platform is built on the emotions of other people, you will be extremely disappointed. Extremely.
Iâm actually not going to say that numbers donât matter. Iâd be a hypocrite if I did. I like seeing my follower count go up. I like checking the likes and reblogs I get on my posts. I feel proud when CC I release performs well. I feel disappointment when it doesnât. I donât think ignoring the numbers is necessarily going to fix your disatifaction if your blog isnât where youâd like it to be. BUT, at the same time, you canât let whether or not youâre popular on the internet dictate your worth in real life.
And this might sound harsh, but youâre not entitled to having people like or use or reblog or care about your content. If thatâs what youâre looking for, thatâs fair. Again, Iâd be a hypocrite if I said I didnât care about building an audience or that you shouldnât. But unless youâre the right social personality type who networks without even really thinking about it, youâre climb upwards is not going to be this bombastic canon shot into the stratosphere where you can confidently call yourself a big simblr.
The terms âbigâ and âsmallâ I have ~opinions~ on, too, and I think itâs an interesting conversation to have, but Iâve already gone on long enough, and Iâm typing this on mobile (yikes).
