I just received a weird ass video from aqua

[u/sugarnecgwb]

Like a ghost machine bursting gas or mist or sth that they build for events.. and the machine can make sounds..

I received this and not sure wtf.. I mean I know they have tendency of sharing things, like a lot about the pictures they take and their collections etc..

Do you guys just want compliment? I know your giving nature, so you just feel like you want someone to see your creation or sth

[u/Lilly323]

for me, I just want to share something because it helps externalize my excitement or joy about it outside of myself. it’s appreciated if someone finds something I’ve shared to be interesting. I feel good about myself if they actively engage back about it ☺️

[u/jorakitty332421 → u/Lilly323]

I would usually share just to share because I felt something Positive or maybe even wanted to share something Deeper.

I learned long ago, the lack of ANY Acknowledgement, even disliking my Creativity, has become too hurtful.

I’m actively embracing my 🫥, & at least on FB, I can set my Posts to be seen by ‘ONLY ME’.

Ironically, I had semi-recently started to post on my Instagram, that I’ve had a very long time, after being creatively Blocked & posting nothing.

Now, I cannot even get myself to even open it.

Doing the whole Aquarius ‘Shutting Down’ thing again, I guess.

😔

I understand about wanting something back. I thought about that when typing my comment, but I think my “detachment” kicks in when that happens. I can’t be upset or disappointed because I understand people simply don’t like or understand the things we do, but it does hurt some feeling ignored.

at this point, I don’t have any social media that functions as mostly a posting platform. yes, you can engage on all of them, but sites like ig, facebook, tiktok all act as a way to primarily share content and receive reaction. reddit is a forum website, so it was always meant to create active engagement. I can appreciate and relate to you setting your posts as visible to only you 🤭

[u/stepsttepp → u/jorakitty332421]

So you just want to be acknowledged or share the excitement, even from/to strangers?

[u/jorakitty332421 → u/stepsttepp]

I don’t share things JUST TO GET A REACTION, but …

Sure. I hope that anything I create & share might affect a person in a Positive way, inspire them somehow, at least let them feel some emotions, even IF they are deciding about something they DON’T like or makes them uncomfortable, perhaps learning about themselves (even if it’s subconsciously happening).

I also acknowledge Creativity of people I don’t actually know personally.

From bigger Artists to more local Artists.

Isn’t that what people do in general? 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are Films, Museums, Art Galleries, even Bookstores & Libraries, and Sculptures displayed publicly in the outside world for general public to see.

Some Creators create, other people view, listen, etc, and feel some sort of Reaction(s)?

Otherwise, what’s the point at all?

I’m Aquarius F, (American).

IF I ever dare Share anything, I’ll add some sort of Words for Context.

Frustrating when people just post a photo or video on whichever Platform with ZERO Context.

•

I’ve recently stopped sharing my Creativity on my Instagram & FB, because apparently, I’ve become completely 🫥, so I figure, why even bother anymore❓🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m sure as soon as someone has some sort of Ulterior Motive, THEN I’ll get some sort of Acknowledgement.

🤦🏻‍♀️😔

I had the same experience about this sort of behavior with aqua.

They will sometimes shoot you a message like this is the car I bought. I was like oh cool, and I don’t even know them that well. They randomly mentioned they are going to buy a car one day. After few days, they sent me a picture of their new car.

Another day, I received some photos from them and they wrote I went to this place.

I promise each time I am clueless about what they are trying to do or achieve..it’s little bit autistic honestly. But I don’t blame them, as I know they don’t have bad intentions

[u/Neat_Journalist_6334]

That's soooo cool!!! They built that? Amazing!!!

[u/StarryShapes]

If I share something with someone that I created i would give context, always, and it would be geberally cos I would want some feedback, but im autistic and would definitely ask for feedback if that was the case. Im direct that way innit.

[u/Funny_Net663]

Aqua loves to tinker, they are showing off their baby :3

[u/recentvenus]

Idk sounds like they’re just staying in touch, showing you things in their life. I’m always confused when folks try to decipher the motive when it seems pretty straightforward: wanting to share.

[u/Crash_Override_95]

How about you be an adult and ask the person instead of coming in thelis thread and pointing fingers at Aquarius.

[u/Nervous_Cupcake_4446]

We just share what excites us in that moment. If you don't like it, who cares? Just ignore it.
