I regret revealing it that it was me back then. 😮‍💨🤦

If I ever change ID I can't even be carisma3 or carisma4. The trolls took that ID. But I have better ideas!

I'm trying to understand the main reasons why people rely on the hibernation and deactivation features.

1. Some people actually believe that it makes you appear Elite.

They think being in active status in Social media will mean that you are always available and non exclusive.

I think that is a shallow thought. I don't personally agree. If you do consider yourself as a well trained member in the social society then you do not need to hibernate. Such training is inbuilt and a proof of strong character and will power. You do not need to rely on hibernation, because you wouldn't need to think about it. If you are not bothered then you are not bothered! Simple. Your self control is within yourself, otherwise it's just an act and attention seeking for validation because you know you are trying to keep up a fake appearance because you really aren't Elite, in the slightest.

2. IF addiction. If you do not hibernate or deact, you cannot stop yourself.

3. Forum toxity, you want to get away from people or the toxic topics and fights.

Well, again don't enter those topics, do not comment and maintain self control and calm. Work in yourself to learn an important rule of socialising -

co-existing.

4. Attention Seeking, People will miss me, worry about me, be bothered.

Yes they will worry about you the first couple of times, but not repeatedly. If you feel you need to do this for attention, then you aren't that popular or have to learn to accept that you are not the centre of the world for everyone, People have their own lives and other friends too they need to share time with and sometimes they like to rant on shows and movies to get things off their chest and come have a banter and refresh and go back to doing what they are doing.

5. Causing anxiety, depression or a result of bullying.

Well people may use these methods to help themselves, to give themselves some time.

6. The forum is boring, People are boring.

Well then there's your chance to make the difference if you can. Create content, don't just rely on others to entertain you. Interact and engage with people.. you may realise that they aren't boring.

7. People hibernate because of notifs so that everyone is aware they are inactive and do not appear to be ignoring friends.

Enough said from my end. Personally I stayed signed in even in my sleep. I like to see the time I'm serving in IF and collect my visitation streak badges! 😁

However, One can hibernate, it's not a question on that. There are some cases which can be overcome on the 'need' to hibernate.

Pls throw in your reasons you think people hibernate or deact and add some more on the list too.

Then the sole purpose of thread is finished.

&

For people who hibernate for attention shouldn't bother us.

Live and let live or would say let them hibernate.

Special cases are not given any special attention anyway.

If these special cases,some people, attention seekers are bothering anyone then time to take Digital Detoxification than finding reasons for their hibernation.

Then it is the same with any topic.

That wasn't the sole purpose.

Neither does it affect my appetite whether anyone deacts or not.

This feature is new, we all survived without it. Indeed people needed it and wanted it and IF added it. It's a good tool.

It makes things easier like so many things.

Some people have real reasons to deact, some have 'what's real to them', but it's to do with underlying issues.

Rather than seeing looking at the post from the wrong angle, oh we can hibernate.. no need to question it. For those who understand it for it's positivity will see it as motivational and that is part of self improvement and growth. Because those with certian issues of wanting to appear elite or attention seeking do not realise the 'I run, you seek me', or 'My absence will make me look like I'll higher up the social ladder than the rest', need to realise it won't help them in the long run dealing with anything.

In life they will face jobs, where colleagues won't give them the attention nor the management for example. There isn't much of a run option. This then creates further complications and really impacts mental health.

If you know me, you know.. I can be quite harsh but I always do stuff to motivate, self growth and self reflection. I don't really pay attention to rants. I'm least interested in telling people don't do something. It's about work on yourself for your own good. But I'm not taking away anyones button. Makes sense?

I hibernated two times.When I hit that lame hibernation button all I thought was that it was the only option going to control my urge from logging into IF but I was wrong to think so, I felt more urge to log in while hibernated than normal days, it felt like I was caged into a bird cage when I felt the urge to log in while hibernated and was not able to do so ,so it defeated the sole purpose for me.

I took a long break of 5 months with just logging out, I felt the urge to log into IF many times during those 5 months but my self discipline and self control helped me to not log in.

So all I say is- in my case only self discipline and self control can stop me from the urge to log in. Not any hibernation features in IF

These days after a hectic work all I need is some light hearted fun distraction from the otherwise depressing stuff I face everyday from 9 AM to 6 PM,After 7 pm I don't have energy to do anything other than just lying on bed half dead these days, so this is the only thing I can do most of the days after 7 PM ie., browsing through internet or IF. Otherwise I would have been engaged in more productive things after 7 PM if I have any energy left after 7PM.

What a shame, one of the most reasonable member will not be adding a valued input.

I'm not heart broken, I'm heart crushed. 😪

I hibernate when I go out of town so I don't have to worry about notifications

And it's so needed too. Plus just v enjoying the trip and the 'Here and now', is so important.

Ok. I re read your post again, then your main post again just to understand how & why this post turned in to wrong angle*your words*.

1. Some people actually believe that it makes you appear Elite.

They think being in active status in Social media will mean that you are always available and non exclusive.

I think that is a shallow thought

To me this part bothered me the most . Yehi pe wrong number lag gaya ji. When you decided to take dig at members reason for hibernation then how can one take it as Motivational post. You have already judged their reasons as shallow!

Why anyone will take it as Motivational post.

In job employees have option such as leaves. Casual Leave, sick leave.... Hibernation is more or less same!

If the post about motivate , self growth & self reflection thank you but then these digs are not helping the purpose.
