Did anyone ever try to guilt trip you for venting here instead of telling them?

I'd find it very weird, like sometimes I've seen friends posting things and I've thought 'why didn't they tell me that was happening or how they felt?' but then I've sat there and thought about it and realised in text format for them to spend the time PMing me personally all that information just to find I'm not in a position to reply, or I honestly don't have a fucking clue what to say in that situation, sometimes it might take me a week running it around in my brain before I can give a solid response, by that time the moment has been and gone.

So yes I can see how it might trigger a feeling of rejection in one sense but I can totally understand why some people prefer venting publicly as there's many posts where some random user just pops up outta the blue who's had a similar experience in life or felt exactly the same way about something and their comment will totally nail it without the need to put friends under any kind of pressure.

I lost someone on here who would tell me off for venting feelings and then tell me off about my behaviour and beliefs.

Is it just here or real life? I rarely venting to my friends mostly I vent to my family and sw. But as you said, I ended up getting guilt trip for whining and complaining too much.
I started to stop talking about myself to them anymore. Like '"how'stoday". I just evade those questions. They don't even listen what I've said.

No but I think I work hard to prevent it happening in the first place.

Yes. I see it as a warning of their insecurities and need to be in control. Im honest and not afraid to tell people if I don’t like something they’re doing. I also prefer my friends to be honest with me if they can’t cope with my crazy shit

I don't think I've had that issue but I suppose I wouldn't care what they thought anyway. I'm just here to say shit, sometimes it's real, sometimes I'm fucking around. That's how I am irl so why change here?

yeah they're too judgemental and make ppl feel bad for simply expressing their frustration towards something, this is why stories and questions need to be separate

Joking with people is sometimes misunderstood. It can be a bit irritating when people join in without knowing. I don't think I've ever vented, I should probably start.

Are you talking about friends IRL , ones that aren’t even on this site?

Nah, I don’t usually talk to anyone privately so no one expects me to talk to them in the first place

Not that I recall in the friendship context. 🤔

No not to my memory. Very odd controlling behaviour though - beware.

No never had that situation, as I don't have many friends.

No, thank god. I don’t deal well with stuff like that.

Not so far.

Thankfully not, but I've seen it happen with others. They expect some kind of exclusivity. If you share anything with others before them then they feel slighted. They seem not to realise how possessive that sounds and that's concerning. There are obvious reasons why you might seek a bigger audience or just a different perspective.

Yes and yes.

Red flags of controlling and toxic behaviours. Get your guard up

Not yet , still hopeful though 😄

Controlling person

Yes I have. I don’t entertain people like that. If I shared publicly on a post how I was struggling then I really needed the help and I do t need this so called friend shitting on me because I didn’t privately go to them first.
