Did anyone ever try to guilt trip you for venting here instead of telling them?
Or for just generally joking with people in the site.
What would you make of it? Friendship context.

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, I am not used to reaching out to people.
And also, when I just throw it out there, people can scroll away including friends instead of feeling obligated to help.
And it doesn't play into a dynamic of expectations, unlike one on one. I don't know what others are going through, I can't make them feel like they need push it away to be there for me.
Other than that, it feels like some use the information to feed their need to be close, pretty sure by then me getting support comes second in priority.
