Lesson of last night

It's not that surprising that people post to get their feelings heard instead of [u]corrected[/u].

If I'm hurt I don't want a discussion I want empathy. Sure you can be supportive and give advice, but a rule of thumb is to show support first and start with advice later.

Another rule of thumb is you never know who's on the other side of the screen or what they're going through so try to not judge. Take distance if necessary.

Being blocked is hard for many, but it's inevitable that it will happen and we can't control that.

Sometimes all people want is someone to just listen to them.

The person 'ranting' does not have any control over what other people say and do on their posts.
The person seen as ranting could also just be sharing their thoughts and feelings like how you are right now. How is your post any different?
It is your interpretation they are ranting and want certain words. And now this post is to garner sympathy?

It’s not too late to learn that lesson. :)

If you can’t offer the words they want to hear, it is best to stay away.

I try to stay away from these types of things aka drama ...I'll pass thank you

Mostly people just want to get things off our chest.

I vent on here to let it out. I don't want sympathy or advice, nor do I need someone to agree with me.

I find it annoying when people give unsolicited advice, then get upset when I don't agree with it though. Nobody really knows me, and the unsolicited wisdom of others can really be crap. Best to let people figure it out their way.

There are so many lessons waiting to be made here. My list is long. I never understand when the friends come ganging up on people. Pretty pathetic.🤨

At least you tried.🤗

I wouldn’t worry about their emotional volatility. Their loss

Not always true. Some rants are just rants.

Smart thinking

I agree but I've blocked friends of friends and one day I block 72,s w life
