Hints and tips
  • To quote someone's message, first select/highlight the relevant text, and then use the Quote button that appears
  • To "mention" someone, type @ followed by the start of the forum name, and choose from the list; that person will get a notification of being mentioned

Finished, pt 2

I’m not going to put the same things as last time, because apparently someone thought that my last post, with the same title, was ‘abusive’. I was making a point about how people only notice me when it benefits them, *removed due to rule 7*

”let’s just ignore that this person clearly is in a crisis, and instead of giving them some reassuring words of comfort, I will report their post because it makes me feel uncomfortable whilst I am eating my third bag of cheesy fries from the chippy”.

  • I red your first post and I felt what you described,  I was in such situation some years ago. I'm terrible at comforting, so I prefer to stay silent instead of screwing up and in fact I often doubt if I should even write anything at all,because these are just words and for me serve no purpose and change nothing in the whole situation. Sorry if you find it offensive or anything other negative. 

    It didn't even come to my mind to report such post, because it's raw life without sugar coat. I'm sorry,  you were treated this way. I can't say how someone could perceive that post, how could that trigger someone etc. But if this is what would make you feel better- we are here. You are not alone. I understand this feeling of being dumped by everyone. I wish I could help anyhow more productively, but I can't. Take care.
