I guess you just kinda comment first, then post...

That being said, for me, the real worry is the inbox.

I crave the dopamine spike from those little numbers next to the inbox.

I do, but the thing is... sometimes I'm just hoping not to get struggle-session'd by someone (it's a bit of an irrational fear of mines)

THANK FOR STIMULATION KIND STRANGER

jokes aside yeah I'm afraid of getting drawn into struggle sessions, it's one of my less favorite sides of hexbear.

I never mark anything as read and I never check my private messages, so I always have over 2,000-4,000 notifications depending on the account

With that amount, you could probably find in that pile the moment UlyssesT last talked to you...
