Are you victim of sw?

I noticed some users who use to be happy in start of using sw are going through depression and self harming....they never get relief here even their relief goes away when they come back and behaviour of people for them are repulsive!
May be because some people are insensitive here and talk rubbish about others ...bully them making groups then targeting them etc etc...

This is not my story....but i read many such Stories here but yes i feel sadder than before...
I feel depressed too no doubt!

May be this site is doing this to people..

I left fb and other social media deleting my profile completely in 2020...as i was having urges to delete FB profile because of negativities of Fb....and now i have urges of deleting my sw profile too!

I am the opposite. I first joined when I was in a really dark place in my life but as years passed I've changed & learned to cope. Now I find SW as a nice distraction from things that bother me irl. Feels like home. The key is to stay away from drama when interacting with SWers and not take everything to heart.

@SW-User i wish other users also have same experience just like u !🙂
My depression is more because of my present real life....sw is distraction...
But sometimes distraction has different impacts on others life depends on life and challenges of others life!

@SW-User I agree, it's the same for me. It helps to not take things personally and not get to attached, because people come and go.

Very true. @Sutten

I deleted my Facebook over a decade ago for multiple reasons and some as you mentioned. I think all social sites are going to attract predatorial types who thrive on hurting others.

I avoid those who are chronically negative here, attention seekers, and trolls and I don't seem to attract those folks much.

I do what little I can to be supportive and hopefully, once in awhile make a small difference for someone having mental issues I feel I might be able to help with.

We need members like you who are aware of the problems but also give a damn about others. I hope you decide to stick around. Be happy. Stay well.

SW is just a medium, on its own it's not capable of making anyone anything that is not already within them.
If someone has that brokenness and doesn't heal it from within, an external source like SW is not going to help and their reactiveness will make their issues seem much worse.
