#shifttok vent

[hermionesmoon]

i don’t like how a lot of big shifters on tiktok are like “you need to prioritize your cr before worrying about shifting”, “you need to love your cr”, and “this is your original reality you were put here for a reason”, because for me personally i don’t feel like this reality is where i belong, and that’s not a sad or bad thing. before i even knew about shifting i still knew that i didn’t belong here, something always felt off i just never really felt connected here i would always drown myself in my favorite movies and shows wishing i had that life, and again i don’t see it as a sad or bad thing i see it as finding my place and it’s just not in this universe. while i don’t believe that i was put in this universe for a specific reason i do believe that i found shifting for a reason or more so that shifting found me for a reason and that reason being to live my true life and be my true self in a different reality. i’m not perma-shifting because i hate myself i’m doing it because i love myself and know i’ll finally feel at home and completed.

How addiction affects shifting – a rant/vent

!! TW: mentions of alcohol and mentions of drugs + addiction !!

just a reminder: this is my opinion and apart of my shifting journey. everyone's shifting journey is different.

also please do not take this post and think "well maybe if i take substances it'll help my shifting journey", this is just a rant/vent post about MY journey. if anything please take this as a "don't do drugs or alcohol"

imma start off this rant by saying that i have been a shifter since late 2020, so about 5 years. in the early years of my shifting journey, i used to shift a good amount (like 3-5 times a month). i LOVED shifting. it was like my whole personality.

during 2020 i lost someone very special to me. i processed grief differently back then, and shifting used to be my escape and help me heal.

then i started dabbling in alcohol and weed in late 2023/early 2024, and believed it was also a great distraction. i kept smoking and drinking more and more, and kept denying i was addicted to any substances because i genuinely thought i was using it in normal amounts. spoiler alert; i was not.

my dumbass thought smoking and drinking was helping my shifting journey. i thought the way my body tingled and the way my mind felt woozy was the shifting symptoms, and that they enhanced the symptoms and would help me shift faster and quicker. this is when i noticed a change.

i stopped shifting in all. i kept trying, but nothing. i couldn't even minishift, which was weird for me.

i decided that me not shifting = something was wrong with me. i didn't blame the alcohol or the drugs, no. i blamed my mindset.

this led me to being demotivated, losing the thing that made me feel free, and losing the community with it. i ended up leaving the community (i wasn't a creator, just unfollow all shifting accounts and removed anything shifting in my social life). this also led me to doubt shifting, believing i was just crazy in 2020-2023.

i knew shifting was still in my heart though. some nights, i would try those same methods that worked for me before in hopes of shifting again. of course, nothing.

a few months ago i came back to shifting. i had moved countries and decided i needed a new start, and i wanted shifting to be apart of it. i knew i still believed in shifting somewhere in my heart, i knew i could shift.

i was still struggling with my addictions during this time. one day, i decided to try and shift while taking a nap; completely sober. i was listening to the subliminal, doing the method, and that's when it happened. i minishifted for the first time in years.

i almost immediately came back to my OR, as i had lost the skill to ground myself in my DR. i sat there, mind still processing the fact that i had minishifted. that's when i knew it wasn't my mindset, it was something different.

i started taking shifting more seriously since then, like how i was back in 2020. i took time to sit with myself and think; what in the world was holding me back?

it didn't take long for me to link my problems with my addictions. each time i was sober while shifting; i would minishift. when under the influence? would wake up in my OR disappointed. along with that, the substances made it harder to focus and harder to remember, so it was way harder to focus on shifting without my mind drifting off, and it was much harder to ground myself as i honestly forgot how.

i decided to take things into my own hands. i couldn't quit, but i changed the ways i took it. now i only smoke a few times a week, along with drinking. i've been slowly going off of substances and the goal is to be completely off of it one day.

but as i've been taking less and less substances, ive noticed my shifting journey has been starting up again. i feel as motivated (if not more) about shifting like in 2020, and the more i minishift, the more i get motivated.

grounding myself to my DR is the hardest part though. my brain is still healing from the effects of the substances and is still fuzzy, but it's been easier to focus and connect myself to my DR.

fixing my substance abuse was the best thing i could've done, for shifting and non shifting. thank you for reading this far if you did, and i hope this post helps anyone that is struggling with the same thing.

do you ever doubt shifting for a second and then just burst into tears

[raideyo]

Anger and Sadness

No one really talks about the feelings associated with not having your 3D reflect the 4D.

(“Not shifting” for basic terms Because you’ve already shifted.)

I miss my friends so much, I miss seeing them. But most of all, I miss my Father. (Mha DR)

I feel so Angry and Upset with myself that my 3D hasn’t changed yet, I keep trying to ignore it. Give it time. Not to be so desperate.

But it’s so difficult to do, Especially now more than ever feeling so far from my family and friends.

I miss them. But I haven’t even met them, I just, I wanna see them.

I miss the way my class would joke. My friends hugs. The way things always seem to get better when they’re there.

I miss my Father, he just always knew what to say to me. His hugs are full of love, parental support, and protection.

It’s so weird to think this way knowing I haven’t seen them in my 3D yet lol. But these feelings are so strong and unignorable.

Any advice to deal with this? Or just advice for the journey? Anything would be appreciated <3

shifting rant: i want to gatekeep reality shifting

might be an unpopular opinion but i hate big creators finding out what shifting is and posting it. even if in a positive light or out of curiosity like that anthony guy, because you know uneducated people who only heard shifting and think shifting is just magically appearing in idfk peppa pig or smtng when its much more than that. its a practice, its a skill and a life style and for some its even the only reason they got out of that dark place and decided to stay alive.

what i hate more are big creators tarnishing reality shifting, using it for views or making fun of it when all they've done is a 30-second search on it or still think of shifting as 2020/2021 shiftok when we've progress so far from that and understood it better now. tiktok only gave shifting the name but its literally been around for longer than tiktok

i see random shifters on people's comment section about wanting to go to hogwarts or something, but they can't and shifters suggesting reality shifting just for them to be called schizophrenic? like, what's the point? reality shifting won't be a socially acceptable thing anytime soon, no matter how hard we try. you're just wasting energy to be called crazy. reality shifting is not an unknown thing. If they're really open to it, they would've been a shifter or atleast researching shifting by now. i would rather gatekeep shifting, and it just be a "small" community than commenting it on the none shifting side of tiktok and being called crazy or that it's lucid dreaming. some of you are lowering your morale on purpose like what do u expect? its the none shiftok side of tiktok.

[dallussy]

Love how I decided to make this account and my life went on a rapid decline.

ANYWHO. I took the week off from shifting right after I was getting close and completely lost all motivation. Like all of a sudden I gained such a frustration within myself.

Coming to terms that you don’t have to be completely positive abt my shifting journey is so hard. Like esp when there’s people I want to see and things I want to experience.

[morgxnshifts]

ignore the video itself please 😭😭but the gender? Like the gender in this video? I WANT IT. I NEED IT BACK. NOW.

please?

[ardenti-spec]

This is so real like ohhh shes yelling and lowk being emotionally/verbally abusive TIME TO SHIFT OUT 🔥 so tired of her bs

my mother makes it so easy to find motivation to shift

[shiftwithalex]

Ive had MULTIPLE shifters come to me in my DMS on TikTok (because I'm also on ShiftTok) and complain/vent about getting traumatized in their DRS, I, of course, provide with the comfort and tips on how to make it be easier, but I ask all of them ONE question - "Have people told you before you shifted to take the precautions and script safety?" And most of them have said yes. But they didn't listen to these people because before they shifted to these places they all had one thing in common, they didn't think seriously of how it would actually affect them.

So a lesson to all- Yes, you CAN erase trauma, but, even if you weren't "aware" of the traumatic event happening to you because its for your "backstory", you'll still end up feeling the trauma from the event, and any person with serious trauma knows this. Sure, go ahead and script the trauma you have here, 100% understandable because some people don't feel like themselves without it, but scripting unnecessary, abnormally large and IMPACTFUL traumatic events just to have your "main character moment" and have your s/o or friends comfort you for it is downright stupid, you're signing yourself up DIRECTLY for an emotional warfare with YOURSELF. Be careful with what you make yourself go through.

i think i’m 100% done with shiftok i was just on there and a… certain big shiftoker was talking about how permashifting is bad and yada yada then there was ppl in the comments saying how permashifting makes it harder to shift and it’s harmful, and unfortunately things like this still get to me so imma speak in it here. most of those people have good lives in their cr, they have friends, nice family, a good stable job, but unfortunately it’s not like that with a lot of us. i’m not gonna go into detail about my cr life but let’s just say some people are going through horrible things in their cr and they can’t escape it physically so they want to permashift and i’m just so tired and annoyed by these shiftokers that don’t even think about that and they’re usually like “it’s a bad influence on the kid shifters y’all are making them want to leave their cr permanently” and this is a very touchy topic cause for me personally i found out about shifting at 15 and it saved my life especially after i found out about permashifting and now i’ll be 19 in a few weeks and i have a clearer mind and i will still be permashifting and i may get hate for this but i don’t really see the huge deal because you could always come back??? and i think if a kid wants to permashift most likely they have a rough home life and want to escape it like obviously i do think people should think about it first but even then it’s not really that deep cause you could just come back to your cr with no time passed… i’m sorry i’m just so confused about all the hate towards permashifting when you could literally come back at anytime. like i genuinely can’t see a kid permashifting for no reason they are probably going through something horrible at home and unfortunately cps doesn’t help a lot of children so they try to help themselves i don’t see a problem with kids permashifting to a better cr where they have a nice loving home life and they’re happy like please tell me if i’m in the wrong for thinking that but just between us i don’t think they really care about “the kids” because most shifters on tiktok are like 16+ i think the anti-permashifters are the people i talked about in my other permashifting post where they think this reality is “superior”. but yea this is my take on it and this kinda sucks cause i really used to like the person i’m talking about and i try to stay open minded with a lot of shifting opinions but i just can’t stand how they’re stuck in their own head they can’t see that not everyone is living with sunshine and rainbows oh and also they liked the comment that said permashifting makes it harder to shift LIKE WHAT 🤦🏽‍♀️ this is what i can’t stand about shifttok they literally made up “shifting blockages” they love criticizing 2020 shifttok but they can’t see that it’s repeating with all this misinformation and close mindedness.

[littlemissshifter]

(sorry for the English, it's not my first language ♡ tysmm for your attention and have a good day!) I've known about shifting for 3 years. And since I first saw it I believed it, since it was my dream to talk to my favorite characters in person. I remember my first attempt at Shifting. I felt symptoms, but I had seen from shifttok (my nightmare) that normally you don't do Shifting on the first try. This was in 2021, and I had a lot of limiting beliefs because of shifttok. So I thought "if you don't normally shift on the first try, then it's normal to not be aware of it there." I have never stopped thinking about shifting, every day for the past 3 years I have been thinking about Shifting. I don't know if this created a "barrier" that limits me or if it's just a limiting belief. But I always believed in shifting. And I've been frustrated with "failed attempts", but nothing too serious. But lately, I met in an online community a person who does Shifting for the universe that I most want to shift to. And I was VERY happy, since I rarely meet shifters for this universe. So I peppered this person with questions about their dr, and they answered me well. But I was like: "🤩🤩🥹🥹 amazingg". Until yesterday, I was talking to this same person, and they said "I don't think I believe in Shifting anymore." They said n I felt ... Unmotivated? Dejected? I don't know the word. But not only was it sad because they didn't believe in Shifting anymore, but because I believed in them. They had become like a shifting inspiration for me. And I thought they had had several experiences in their dr. But for a person who is "supposedly experienced" in Shifting to tell me "I don't believe in Shifting"... It was frustrating. I wasn't just sad for them, but it really frustrated me that they supposedly lied to me. I know this may not make sense, but they were the first person I had the courage to ask directly about Shifting (before I only saw information on shifttok). I've always had a thing about knowing that shifting is real, but being envious of people who have shifted and doubting their experiences. But now (I haven't given up on Shifting) but I really want to know if it's really real. I know it's a dumb question cause we shift every millisecond. But... I guess I'm afraid that I've been doing all this for 3 years to hug my s/o, tell him I love him... But if in the end shifting isn't even real...? Most of the people important to me are antishifters. Am I really being "wrong"? I don't know, I don't want to give up shifting, I really don't. I'm just afraid of not being real and not being able to explore the countless possibilities that I have... That I supposedly have? I don't know if this is really a question, I think I just needed to vent. What makes shifting real? Watching my favorite universe and it being real...? But thank you for your attention, and sorry for the inconvenience and my stupid questions <3

hi!! It's not an inconvenience don't worry!!

I must assure you that shifting is very real!! I've shifted countless times and it's the best thing that has happened to me.

The person who said that is entitled to their own beliefs and you shouldn't worry about what they think of shifting. It's okay to feel sad because you looked up to them!!

Shifting is what you make it to be. Whether it be experiencing different universes or just manifesting. You shouldn't worry about not being aware in your reality! It's not holding you back just change your state of awareness. You can change it anytime. Be your own proof of concept.

Never give up I'm supporting you from the other side of the screen🩷

Do NOT traumadump or vent on me.

Don’t ask me for help regarding your personal or a loved ones health. Don’t ask me for help with financial problems. If you send me asks regarding these subjects, they will be ignored.

I prefer to keep information of what I’m planning to manifest/where I’m planning to shift private until it has actually happened.

I do not like race changing. I understand that it’s not always due to fetishization but due to the aggression people who like race changing often show to one’s who don’t, please don’t try to argue with me about it. And people who say it’s “shifttok bs” will also be blocked.

I support aging down unless it’s because you as an adult in this reality has a crush on a minor, even if you’re a child in your DR doesn’t make you less of a pedo here.

Don’t send me asks like “how do I persist” “how do I assume” and basic things you could figure out with a Google search. Also I will ignore asks like “I’ve tried to persist but my 3D isn’t changing”

Don't yall just love remembering how toxic a certain platform is?? I was on tiktok and came across a video asking people a question about their DRs just for fun. I pop into the comments, read some other replies, write my own and decide "hey, these are always fun. Im gonna go to the search bar to look for more like this. " TELL ME WHY I TYPED IN "shifting questions" AND AM SUDDENLY BOMBARDED BY VIDEOS OF LEGITIMATE SHIFTERS CLAIMING THAT SHIFTING IS IMPOSSIBLE AFTER YOU DIE IN YOUR CR AND PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS SAYING SHIFTING ISNT REAL AND ETC. ETC. Like obviously it's all bs, but I follow a specific few shifters on tiktok, so I guess I forgot how toxic it is as a whole and this five minute experience felt like a massive slap in the face and my motivation.

Anyways I just needed to vent for a second, but if anyone has any recommendations for getting rid of this icky feeling, I'm very open to them <3

Also, stay off shifttok ig, guys. I know people say it all the time, but I thought the toxicity had dialed down specifically because of the content that I see on my fyp. Reminder that if you've cultivated your media intake for your mental health, you should be mindful of it and stay within your stream. Stay safe out there yall and happy shifting <3

Honestly? Shifting is probably one of the few things keeping me afloat. I know shifttok has talked about/glamorized shifting in a light that, only mentally ill people do it. And not everyone is like that; which is good. But truly. Shifting, scripting, daydreaming about it. All of that is something that just keeps me afloat and sane in this reality. And I love that Tumblr has given me more confidence to talk about my shifting journey. But I really just needed to vent and be like, “yeah no shifting is something that just keeps me going.” Because it does. I’m not saying I’m going to do something to myself if I DON’T shift. But, it’s something that keeps me sane when times get tough. Gives me something AMAZING to look forward too. But for someone like me, who probably isn’t alone, shifttok I feel like definitely has made it like, a more glamorized thing for people who want to harm themselves if they don’t shift. I’m not sure if that makes sense? Like, I am trying my best to shift, it’s the only thing that sometimes gets me through my days; but I’m not saying I’m going too off myself if I don’t shift; which I think something shifttok kind of makes ‘popular’ in a lot of their communities. Which I think is harmful for a lot of the ones who ARE shifting, just because they know they can.

yep i found shifting when i was really not in a good place mentally and i think the relationship i developed with it is really not a healthy one aka whenever i feel bad i shift to escape and whenever i feel good about myself i just kinda forget about shifting so currently trying to fix that (if anyone has any advice itd be appreciated) but yeah i agree shiftok has made some very problematic concepts popular which is also why im not on there anymore except to occasionally post edits when i finish one cos idk where else to post it tbh
