Share your anxieties and depressions. If someone attacks you for doing that, well they have to be a troll. I agree with you on deleting their posts.
I don't think it's healthy to bottle this stuff up, even though some people can make you want to. I have bottled stuff up myself and is probably why I have certain other problems now.
I wouldn't ever say your problems invalidate you. A lot of people have issues... And to simp for a moment, you have a lot going for you.
Anyway, I think it's good you have talked about this, otherwise it would be one more thing you're bottling up.

@Matt85 thank you 🖤

Don't ever feel guilty for wanting connection.
Truthfully we're all gonna have our opinions on how to navigate ourselves, what helps and what doesn't. Policing how you feel is never a part of the conversation. You feel what you feel. It's not right or wrong.
It's a lot of pressure trying to "get it right" but none of us have a formula we go by 24/7. It's impossible. We can try, have some success and try again. That doesn't mean we don't dip. It's the human experience. You're allowed to find connections in ways that help you. We all want that.

I understand some of your pain. I was never loved as a child and grew up pretty much on my own which lead me getting into a lot of trouble. My life is still pretty much the same. But keep on living your life how you want and do what you want know one can tell you want to do life is about you

I don't know you or your past but I wonder, have you utilized professional mental health services to try to help mitigate your situation? They may be able to help you better navigate social situations and provide you the tools needed to find those who better understand you. Making good and mutually healthy connections is a skill and takes work. Just something to consider🤷♀

Like the way you stood your ground here and sorry for the things that made you feel it was necessary.
Understandable and I find your sharing to be a beautiful thing but unfortunately when you allow yourself to be vulnerable out on Main Street you’re gonna get responses from users with IQs ranging from Moron to Magnificent.
@OlderSometimesWiser there's nowhere else to be vulnerable. There's no one. And I don't know wtf to do anymore. The only thing that ever gets validated is that people don't want to hear it. Which I understand I guess. I don't know.
@MarbleMarvel I’ll always hope you feel that you can be vulnerable here. And seeing responses to your posts, I know that many others would agree. My comment was referring to expectations and of course you’re always gonna hear from some who are so stupid, they’d go the dentist to get Bluetooth. But I’ve also seen you validated by people who do want to hear it and offer kind words and a caring heart. That’s what I’d focus on. Take what nourishes you and leave the rest.

I sometimes post about what I feel and I was told a crybaby by someone I call "friend".
Ive stopped explaining myself to people a long time ago. I just say what i feel. People can take it how they may
