Do the "likes", "love", "dislikes", "thank yous", and "false" buttons on your posts bother you or get you hyped up? I'm curious.
Throughout social media, I'm certain it's easy to see, "likes" seem to drive many people to do some of the insane, dangerous, and downright shameful things they do, because they see it(those "likes") as some sort of validation towards their life and actions.
So, do the buttons here sway you? make you feel some sorta way? Do you shrug it off? Does it make you rethink your words? Make you hold in others?
I used to be a bit more concerned with "likes" when I was first introduced to the concept, so to speak, but at this point, idungivafuss about it. Not that much, anyway. I mean, at the end of the day, all it shows is some people agreed and others did not. It's not "truth points", just numbers that say you have someone's attention, negative or positive.
