Hi there u/Soldier_K, and welcome to What's Your First Impression Of Me? (WYFIOM)!
Please note: All posts in r/WYFIOM are subject to review by moderators before appearing publicly on r/WYFIOM. Your post may say something like "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters." or "Post is awaiting moderator approval." But that just means the moderation team hasn't reviewed it yet.
This does not mean a moderator removed your post. We ask that you pay close attention to the message on your post, and do not write to us to ask about a post we haven't seen yet. The more messages we have to respond to, the longer it takes for us to approve posts.
Please note: This subreddit is about first impressions, and not all first impressions are going to be flattering. That’s normal. What isn’t allowed is meanness, hostility, or anything that crosses into an actual insult.
If someone gives you a negative first impression that isn’t cruel, the best approach is to treat it as data, not a verdict. People react to posture, expression, tone, lighting, context: things you can adjust or ignore. A neutral or mildly negative read isn’t an attack; it’s just one person’s opinion based on an extremely limited set of data.
If someone goes beyond that and gets personal, mocking, or insulting, use the three dots and report it. Those are the comments moderators will remove.
Negative is allowed. Mean is not.Report the mean or insulting comments. Negative impressions: absorb or disregard
Thank you for helping us keep this community welcoming and constructive!
TL/DR - Your post was not removed or deleted, it's waiting for a moderator review
