Is it normal to find a website to be so stressful?

The website in question is tumblr. I started my tumblr blog about two years ago and I was a different person then. I wasn't afraid to speak my mind and I would often thank people for following me. Since sometime last year, my feelings toward the site changed. I've become more withdrawn and I'm terrified to speak my mind. In the past, a few people had flipped out at me because they disagreed with my views but I always managed to stand my ground somehow. Now, I know that I can't handle that sort of thing anymore. The site makes me depressed for some reason. Simple things make me panic like getting a message in my inbox. Some of my followers, I guess, have tried to get to know me better but I have no desire to do so. Sometimes, I get so stressed out if someone unfollows me especially, if that person has been following me for a long time and never told me why they unfollowed me. I wish they would be polite enough to me what their reasons were. I know I shouldn't get so worked up about this but I can't help it. The stress from this website has been making me depressed. I feel like I need a long period break but I'm too frightened to say this. I don't want people trying to get into my business and find out exactly why I want to distance myself from that site... Then again, its not just that site but there are other sites that stress me out. However, they don't upset me to the point tumblr does. IIN?

    Delete that shit. Get rid of it. That is SUCH a stupid ass reason to stress out, life is to stressful without the Internet, don't do that to urself. Besides that, none of ur followers are gonna care. It's online. Not real life. Relax. Fuck it.

    That's how I got about facebook- to the point where it was making me depressed, stressed out and I would be terrified of every notification. So get rid of it! Simple as that. I got rid of my facebook and it was SO freeing and I never looked back.

    Sometimes you get the false feeling that you NEED to keep your social media for whatever reason but the fact of the matter is is that you don't. Trust me. I've been there.

    Well it all depends on people there. I spend more than 5 hours on tumblr a day and I love my followers and people I follow. Are you a fandom or a hipster blog? I noticed some hipsters can be really judgemntal for anything and fandoms can just scare you off.
    You don't have to answer anyone if you don't want to it's YOUR blog after all.
    If you think people who ask you too many questions just block them and you shouldn't care what people think about you so much.

    You're obviously too sensitive for the internet and definitely too close the the gates of 4chan.

    I had the same sort of thing on facebook, so I deleted it and its the best thing I've ever done. I have so much extra time now, I'm less stressed and I just feel... well... free.

    Meanwhile somewhere in the world, some child is stressing over finding their next meal... lol, doesn't tumblr sound silly now?

    That website is not worth your time if it's doing this. I know it seems like you're losing a part of your life, or memory by moving on, but it's for the best.

    Just do it. You don't have to delete it, but take an elongated break.

    What's more important is reflecting, and finding out why you are so worried about every little thing now. There's some underlying problem... that I feel is dangerous and can cause serious problems for you in the future.

    May the force be with you.

    Like other people have said, I felt the same way about FB. But don't forget that for every person who has a beef with you, there are probably hundreds who don't. Either way, try not to let it get you down.

    Aaahhh Fuck it! Your call that stress, try IIN website on the Goddamfucking mobile phone. I click thumbs up for someone's comment and it selects thumbs down etc. Example: I wasted 10min just now trying to return Thatchick28's thumbs up count (above).

      +1 to this. It takes too long for anything on mobile phones. Not this site's fault though.

    It stresses me so much that this Demi Lovato worshiping white idolatry envelopes the nation racism on the Internet is nothing new but encourage by michael eisener and these fags. I'm sorry this happened to you. But these secret plans are true. I have seen photos priving the vision statement but Eisner literally wiped his ass with it to get rid of the evidence. Do some research america
