I made my journal posts public because I thought some of the answers I was finding, especially about my eating disorder, might help someone else. I closed comments because I have had very negative interactions on this site before. I have hidden them all now, and will be leaving this site again. Thank you for showing me that nothing ever changes here.
UPDATE- I have decided I will not leave. I have paid my money to be on this site, and even if I don't interact with others, and that seems to greatly bother some, I can be here too. After having the emotional meltdown that this question always induces, and withdrawling into myself for 24 hours, I have decided to stay. For those who don't like me blocking comments, please mute me, as one of the comments on this question has suggested. That is the perfect answer on how to deal with someone so different from yourself, that you just can't allow their words to be read.

@Journaling4Me Choosing to do what you want here doesn't bother me. I simply didn't understand why anyone does that here. You aren't the first person to ever to close comments, you won't be the last, I'm sure. So, since I wondered, I asked. I stated in my original post, "no insult intended", but it seems you took it as one anyway. I had, on one of the comments, stated that your posts were interesting and well written, which I found to be true. I have no idea why a simple question would cause you to shut down for 24 hours. So maybe what hasn't changed is how you view us - seeing everything as a negative interaction where there aren't any. 🤷🏼♀ Don't think I haven't been questioned about my writings here as well. It doesn't bother me. As this is a public forum, everyone has different ideas, opinions, experiences, points of view, and questions. That will never change, so we either roll with it or let this place get the best of us. 🤷🏼♀

I’m worse. I don’t understand why sone people even post. They put a thought out there and ask for an opinion or validation when in actuality they just want a consenting opinion.
If you ask for an opinion, don’t you inherently know that some people are going to differ? Why not tell me upfront? Why waste my time? Presumably others of us may have actually had the same experience and come out the other side.
If an OP doesn’t want responses, the post should auto delete. Otherwise you’re essentially forcing everyone to read your post for no reason as there’s nothing there that’s actionable.

@Tumbleweed Right? Furthermore, why even create a post, as an OP, that you know is going to elicit responses that are going to trigger you so badly that you need to block people?
Isn’t that counterintuitive? It’s certainly not cathartic. 🤔

@JamesBugman Thank you for being an understanding person. I honestly appreciate it more than I can ever convey with words. :-)

@JamesBugman @Journaling4MeThere will always be someone who misinterprets things along the way. I was simply curious and wanting to understand.

@Hopelandia I just read another one this evening and it promted the question. Interesting reads, comment worthy, but that option is turned off. It is a puzzle to me. But to each their own here.

My thoughts. I often see posts that are 5-6-7 years old and still receiving comments.
Maybe they feel they should comment on the comment and don't want to anymore?

@Shybutwilling2bfriends Seems there are a few of us who are confused about it.

@SomeMichGuy Yes. That's how it seems to me, too. It's confusing. I've gone to comment a couple of times, not realizing it was another by the same person who doesn't allow it. 🤷🏼♀

Sometimes you have other posts open.
Sometimes you just dont wanna talk about it anymore
Sometimes the post has served its purpose
Sometimes its just so yesterday youve moved on
...so you close it so you dont have to be rude and not reply to people 🤷♀
Lotsa other reasons im sure

Just the system trying to silence logical input

@pentagrammom There is a scarcity of logical input for many here ..
@BrandNewMan well that's being filtered now
