I'm all for humour, aren't you? But ...

How can we be expected to answer some of these questions seriously when there is no indication that they are in fact "serious" and genuinely seeking help, guidance and support. (Most aren't fooled by the attention seekers, well I hope not.) It's so easy to be frivolous, I'm guilty of that myself because that's my way of coping. It doesn't help those though who are genuinely in need, just wanting someone to understand, in some/any way. I wish I knew the answer.

If a question is obviously ridiculous or disingenuous then I will treat it as such. I won't mock anyone in genuine distress. I will laugh at idiots though. It's only fair 😏

We do the best we can and that has to be enough. Sometimes we are spot on and well...sometimes we miss the boat entirely.

I'm sure I regularly get it wrong but you know, it's the internet and without facial expression, body language etc it's impossible to always know and get it right.

I do my best so that just has to do.

@AntisocialTroll We all do inadvertently. You're doing pretty well and come across as a very nice person. Cheers. 🥂

@Zoranna Aw thank you, that's a lovely thing to say, much appreciated. 😘

Zoranna · F

@AntisocialTroll You're very welcome. Right back at you! 😘

I'm kind of the other way. I always assume every question is real (Except for those, "Untie me from this chair and stop feeding me..." ones).

Lol I often take posts seriously and then if I realise it's a nonsense post I get upset. 😑

Zoranna · F

@SW-User Try not to let it upset you, it's annoying but you meant well. That's what matters.

@Zoranna LOL If I was an Italian, it's be fun to pronounce that username of yours in native Italian accent. Especially the letter 'r'. 😁

Zoranna · F

@SW-User lol Go for it! Well I'm not Italian either but I never gave it a thought that anyone would think the name is, it's not. 🤭

It can be difficult when we can't see expression and body language. 🤔

Zoranna · F

@Peaches Very, the nuances are missing.
