Personally I find self pity really tedious. That's because often the person isn't willing to actually DO anything about his/her situation and because I don't know these people so really don't care that much.I don't conflate maudlin sentimentality and pity for caring,
Neither this forum nor the internet generally are communities. Internet friendships are NOT REAL, unless of course they lead to actually meeting a real person..
Hmmm I must say I agree, talking about your problems on the internet with people who don't know you or can't do anything to help is even less efficient than escaping in fantasy novels...
Around here when you're in deep shit we say " you smoke or you don't : you'll die anyway..." puts things into perspective : get a grip! you won't get a second life, bitchy as the first may be!
