I can never fucking tell if people are being presumptuous or if I'm being oversensitive.

So I posted a thing on Tumblr, as you do. It has become my new random snippets repository. (Maybe I should create a Dreamwidth specifically for that stuff. idk.) And somebody reblogged it.

I am confused about pretty much everything here. "Scrap" is not a prescriptive or evaluative term; it's a thing I worked on and am not going to elaborate on further. It's nice that they liked it, but I don't feel like not-so-subtly demanding more is all that appropriate?

To provide context, I am extremely sensitive to presumptions that I owe people my attention or labor, especially if it's unpaid. And this hits some of those buttons in a real irritating way. I'm still thinking about it, so obviously it bothers me, but I'm trying to figure out if it's a warranted reaction to such an off-hand comment.

I mean FWIW that person's comment comes off as hella obnoxious to me too. Your tags aren't there for their approval or lack of approval, YKWIM? And you don't owe anyone your labor unless you have a contract and a paycheck.
