Threads' Fuzzy Demons! Demons Out!
Hello, it's Ame🍭
Threads is fun, isn't it!
But don't you ever feel a bit fuzzy when you look at it every day?
I do!
Like having my very first post, 'I'm a housewife!...', completely ripped off😅
Or being followed and then immediately unfollowed the next second😭
I was also concerned about view counts at first.
Feeling down from comparisons,
struggling with the right distance,
or nights when I just want to close the app because I'm tired.
The harder you try,
the more likely you are to have those fuzzy feelings inside!
Thinking that, I decided to try this project for Setsubun✨
Demons out👹🫘
Let's chase away the fuzzy demons inside you!
In this article, I'll share everyone's real 'fuzziness' collected anonymously,
divided into 5 types of 'demons'!
I hope your heart feels a little lighter knowing, 'I wasn't the only one struggling!'🫧

👹 The Communication Distance Bug Demon
It's sad to be unfollowed right after posting about hitting a milestone!
I don't know how many times to keep a comment rally going! I worry about becoming a burden to the other person.
Honestly, it's very lonely when there's no reaction after I mention someone. I get anxious, thinking, 'Did I do something to be disliked?'🥺
When I'm the only one not getting a reply to my comment, and I'm left hanging.
They don't like my original post, but they only like my reposts.
I struggle with how to respond when someone asks for heavy life advice in the comments section.
🍭Finding the right distance is hard, both on SNS and in real life~!
It hurts a little when there's no reaction to mentions or comments.
I think we should try to develop a 'thick skin' and assume they probably just missed it🥹
👹 The Timeline Noise Demon
There are so many posts that intentionally stir up reader anxiety, and it's exhausting.
The links that talk down to you about writing techniques are just AI-generated text😅
I'm happy to have my ideas used, but I wish they would credit me as the source🥲
I wish people would stop sending me advice on how to make money on posts about not being able to make money on note.
I feel fuzzy when everything from the structure of my paid content to the name of my community gets completely ripped off😇
I feel fuzzy and uneasy when I look at quote posts.
They seem to be saying something good, but where are they ultimately trying to lead me?
🍭 "Feeling impatient" or "feeling anxious" are classic marketing tactics to "stir up emotions and drive action." We have to discern, "Do I really need this?" ✨
👹 The Mental-Drain Demon
Even though I've decided not to compare myself to others, there's a part of me that feels down when I see the numbers sometimes 🥲
The posts I put the most effort into get the least reaction, and I'm secretly heartbroken about it 🥲
Even when I think, "That got a great reaction!", the actual number of impressions is low 🫠
In certain genres, I just can't grow at all! I get impatient when I see everyone else achieving results 💦
I just can't seem to break through the wall to reach my target numbers!
I feel like everyone around me is moving forward, and I'm the only one being left behind.
There are so many people and so much information that I sometimes get socially exhausted 😮💨
Everyone around me looks so shiny and bright, and I lose my confidence.
🍭I once had a bug where I couldn't see view counts for myself or others, and it made me feel so much more relaxed! Analysis is important, but when you're worrying too much, choosing not to look might be one way to handle it!
👹 The Threads System & Self-Loathing Demon
I accidentally pressed the follow button while looking at my timeline (I can't undo it because it sends a notification)
I just started, so my account's direction isn't set, and I'm currently completely lost!
I end up getting sucked in, and my time just melts away—someone do something about this!
Someone please do something about the fact that I can't schedule posts properly!
Threads notifications don't come through properly, and I'm on edge because I'm afraid people will think I'm ignoring their comments 👹
🍭 I want to believe that being lost and having your time melt away are proof that you're doing this for real 🥹 There are so many things I want Threads to improve too 🔥
👹 Healing Extra Edition & Realistic Daily Demons
I keep getting flagged for re-examinations at the hospital, and I just want to scream, 'I've had enough!' 😫
Just when my younger child's cold finally cleared up, now the older one has it! When will I ever get some time to myself? 😭
I'm grateful my husband cleans the bathroom! But after he rinses it to prevent mold, please set the water temperature back! The kids are furious about the cold water 🥹
Warm messages saying, 'Thank you for always being so kind! I love you!' 🫶
🍭I found myself laughing at the realistic daily frustrations and feeling warmed by the kind messages 💕
⭐ Finally
Thank you all so much for participating!
Also, there was a bug on Threads where ghost posts couldn't be pressed,
and I am truly sorry to those who couldn't participate 😭
How was it? The frustration you're feeling,
you are definitely not alone in it ✨
I hope you were able to think, 'I totally get that!',
which is the goal of this project and this article 🍭
Everyone is trying their best to enjoy Threads,
even while feeling lost, down, or spinning their wheels 🤍
If you look at this and think, 'This is the demon inside me,'
why not try changing yourperspectivea little?
・The 'comparing yourself' you = The you that wants to grow more
・The 'confused about boundaries' you = The you that values connections with others
・The 'exhausted' you = The you that is giving it your all
Rather than something to chase away,
the demon might just be an emotion inside you that wants to be noticed!
When a demon appears, let's look at your good points instead ✨
Why not make today a day to change your perspective a little?
At your own pace, nice and easy 🤍
Let's enjoy ourselves ✨️
It would be a huge encouragement if you could leave a like ❤️ or follow me!
See you in the next note ✨
ThreadsPlease feel free to say hi there too 😊
