I'm 23 years old, but I look 14. I always looked younger than my age, even when I was in school. I'm 167 cm, which is the standard female height where I live, so I guess it's my face, something with the shape of the bones, I dont know. I am sincerely convinced that this is the main reason why men have never approached me. I'm also quite socially awkward and not very pretty, but that's usually not a problem for other girls, so I think it all comes down to my child-like features. I've never seen men look at me with desire, or that they've ever been shy when talking to me. I feel completely desexualized and lonely and I suffer so much because of it. This problem sounds so stupid and absurd, but that's what I'm dealing with... At the very least, it's probably worth being glad that men aren't so attracted to childish features in reality...

Sorry if this post is too messy, I don't feel well while I'm writing this.

Why is your brand new account tagged as a bot account?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

People don't think OP is young, they just block her with their robots.txt policy.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There it is. This whole thing was too suspicious

[–] alina@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Why suspicious?

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

From my understanding this tag is self-prescribed. She might have miss-clicked it upon account creation and didn't change it in her profile settings.

[–] alina@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, I just noticed it in the settings and removed it

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It still shows as bot account for me. But maybe it didn't update yet :)

[–] alina@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it's not because of that, then what should I do :(

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I believe it just takes time to federate to other instances. If I go to the profile of a known bot via lemmy.world here: https://lemmy.world/u/rss@ibbit.at, it shows it's a bot. But if I go to your profile via lemmy.world, it doesn't show the bot tag :)

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, profile updates take quite a while. I once got a reply from the dev on it, I think they said it's updated every 24 hours or something like that. Just some unexpectedly long time.

0_0 I don't know

[–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

Where do you see that?

  • The account type is a 'Person' account according to the federated JSON-LD. Bots use a different type.
  • I don't see your instance claiming it's a bot on her profile.
[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought it was clear as day that this is a fake post. I can't believe the amount of serious answers here.

[–] alina@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Again, why?I have a lot of specific and strange problems that I'm afraid to share with people, but this isn't even one of the strangest, what's so unrealistic about it??
