Last time I looked, this forum is not a democracy. There are rules, but no right to free speech. EG; Direct insults are not accepted,
This is not a mental health forum,and people here for the most a part are not trained counselors.
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..
I've done a bit of internet dating.Without exception,the real person had little resemblance to the internet persona. In a couple of cases, had they been advertising a product,I could have sued for misrepresentation. Did I also lie? Absolutely. Everyone trying to get laid, courting or in love lies in some way.
