Why do users have to have a public meltdown before they leave this site?

There are no doors to slam.

Attention. First they say what everybody is doing wrong and then how they have been hurt and can’t stand it like it’s gonna change somebody. It’s cyberworld. It all means nothing.

They are hoping some one will ask them to stay.

To see if anyone asks them to stay. They want to see the feedback from others who care if they leave.
I used to ask them to stay until I realised it could be an attention seeking thing.

I did that once🙈 Thank God I've done a complete 360 in life......

Bang bang bang! They want to be heard.

Well I had to let people know I'm taking a break when I took breaks 😭

When I take breaks now I just leave 🤷🏿‍♀️ but when I leave I have to be dramatic cause why not

Maybe they want someone to care or to maintain some friendships outside of here?
I just delete and only communicate it to anyone I really care about.

Just to be clear, I'm not calling any post about leaving a "public meltdown". People post about leaving hoping others will ask them to stay, sure, that's fair. I probably wouldn't do it, but I get it. No, I'm talking about making an angry, ranting, offensive post to try and get banned or whatever. This is going beyond simply wanting people to tell you to stay.

They want the attention... but don't want to admit it.

Because I’m cray cray, duh. Same reason I came to begin with. lol

I think this place can really get under a person's skin, if they let it. It can stir up a lot of strong emotions that need to be expressed. I always think, let them say what they need to, and we'll see them again later. People seem to have more fun, and take it less serious, when they come back.

Depends on what they want

Just taking out their trash before their departures, I reckon.

Lots of drama, people like it.

Welcome to modern social sensibilities.

... I need a drink.

Some people seem to have a thing for drama?!

Attention seeking 🤷‍♂️

In a word? Narcissism.

Attention Whores...
