MT. Why do people hibernate or Deactivate? - Page 8

Well, I will not generalise and karna bhi nahi chahiye cuz everyone has their own reasons (for hibernating/deactivating). But if you are pointing towards certain members () then please mention it in your main post, Cari.

On a serious note, let's not weigh everyone in the same manner. :')

Of course, not everyone should be weighed in the same manner, hence there are so many options provided with an invite to add more.

I've never deactivated, so I do not have a personal experience to share. But I have left some social platforms and if anyone made a topic regarding that, I would not be offended and would have nothing to feel offended over. It's the same as many topics here that have been raised on why people are leaving the forum or have left the forum. I can relate to that and can give reasons for that from personal experience.

Pointing towards certain members and calling out names. Well if I ever decide to go MID, I'll do it then, but until I have not become an MID kind of person.. the names will stay safe with me.

The chances of me being an MID is slim to none, so yes.. no names will be shared out.

Maybe too much going on with their pms. And they do not like it. Maybe they got attacked through pms and attackers get away with it? Didn’t one member made a post about how one member supporting terrorists? And targeted them in a very harsh way. Some members here can cross a line and do not use social media or IF responsibly.

Thank you for this and raising awaremess.

Unfortunately PM bullying has actually been a big thing over a period of time. I didn't know about the terrorism thing. That's awful.

Yes this all falls in with one of the options, some people have to leave due to bullying which is extremely unfair..

I do feel that IF hasn't been suppprtive enough regarding this as much as it should have been esp being a Youth Socialising Network.

People have different reasons and the freedom to do what they want, why do we care

I care, if you all deactivated...who will comment on my posts?

So your participation equals my existence. 😝

Yes there are many reasons and I've provided a list of some of them, baki ka I've recieved some very good suggestions.

I don't hibernate or deactivate......main 2-3 months ke liye patli gali se nikal leti hoon......and then come back whenever I want...

Deactivate kiya toh activate karne ke liye password chahiye hoga.....aur password mere ko bhool gaya....deactivate kiya toh new account banana padega.....so I am always logged in....I just don't post...

3, 5 and 6 are the reasons I leave whenever I leave for a period of time.....sometimes it becomes unbearable.....and I need my sanity to be intact for my family......warna.....main forum forum chillaoongi kurta faad ke...

Gosh girl you are a breath of fresh air amd your positive vibe and humour is always on top.

You know your absence was duly noted and presence missed.

That's it, I think this logging in and out business is just too tedious. Even when I'm making changes to the profile, I feel like I'm taking a risk.

End of the day if we lose our accounts then it should be on our terms rather than being glitched out.

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.

Thank you for reading the post thru and understanding it. I loved reading your response. Sometimes it is so easy to get carried away and spend a bit longer in social platforms then intended and in a way it becomes part of our routine. I do agree that when ur trying to be away from it, you think about it more.

It.was difficult, but you overcame that urge and stayed away for so long with your will power alone. Without you even knowing, you have strengthened your will power and kicked the hurdles away. So really well done to you.

I think there are so many technical featured designed everywhere to do the most basic stuff for us. But growing up the generation I'm from, we didn't have social media, technical apps. If you needed to remember appointments.. U did it by memory or some used a diary. Till now I prefer to use a diary over phone calendars.

I'm sorry things haven't still gotten easier for you with work. Long hours are tiring and it does take over your whole day. I do hope you are maintaining a nutritious diet though.

Same issue for me as well. The first reason is so insanely judgemental about something like Hibernation literally listing the most shallow reasons I didn’t care what I read after that. The opening was enough to feel a certain way about the topic regardless of the intentions of the poster. Lol, if this was intended to be motivational post I would love to see a judgemental one

So you believe and support people who feel that by deacting every so often will make them appear more elite and exclusive compared to people who don't deactivate or are regular members?

This is a judgemental comment made by a member once. It doesn't sit right with me and I disagree with it.

Because I don't think the rest of the 95% of people are inferior as this member was making out.

If you would have read and understood my post fully, then you would have understood who was being judgemental.

This is prolly the 3rd time I'm saying this to you, when you read something just take a minute out before getting hyper. Close the post and re open with fresh eyes again, it should help.

Or even better, if you see my name next to a post.. don't open it as I may not have anything to say that you will like or enjoy. You can happily scroll past my posts.. I honestly won't be offended.

These things are a just a discussion and trivial, you shouldn't get worked up about it so much. It's not worth it.
