IN SUMMARY: Respect should be shown on both sides of selfshipping community, and being a non-sharing yumeshipper shouldn’t stop you from being friends with someone who selfships with the same character as you do. Just have boundaries emplaced, and respect those boundaries. (Ps. I might not word things properly or may come off as rude as I do apologize if I do) LONG answer: Non-sharing yume’s are a hit or miss. Some can be weird asf and some can be nice as hell. But simply because selfshipping started for people of any mindset to come together, even the more unhinged ones, doesn’t mean it’s not less strangeu002Fto peoples taste. I’d like to also mention some of the things people bring up about it being due to Autism or Nerodivergency (if I’m not mistaken?) but even so, there’s also something you gotta note that even if you have these things, it shouldn’t make you either harass someone for liking the same character. I don’t mind people who block and move on, as its a way to avoid it, yet its still strange to do so over a fictional character ifykwim? I’m not trying to be rude don’t get me wrong. And I 100% get the feeling some may have, yet most of my critisms come from someone who is on the spectrum. I said many times that you can just get the help you need from friends or therapists, maybe even therapy with yourself with healthy and comforting coping mechanisms. What I feel like I’m trying to say is someone who’s non-sharing should respect those who like the same character as them. Same thing goes for sharing selfshippers. They should just respect each other. If one were to disrespect another, then that’s a different story. I understand the idea of non-sharing selfshippers yet they also should understand that shouldn’t stop u from being friends with someone who likes the same character the same way you do! You should def add boundaries or something in order to allow the relationship to be comforting between both of you
