I feel like I'm drowning in my own thoughts

Yeah, it really does. And since I don't feel particularly.... safe, I guess, in rambling about things here, it's sort of difficult :/

Well. What would make you feel safe?

Honestly, making people more..... serious, I guess. Like, not just being idiots and trolling all the time

@Kiwi-Dan: That's going to be tough to find around here.
I've found that places like this, or really anywhere online, is not a safe place to share personal pain unless you are willing to shut out the creeps and the stupids. You have to be willing to moderate without feeling attacked or used and that is not always easy when you have real problems and are in need of real people who give non stupid/ obvious advice.

@TwiddlerOfThumbs: Yeah, that about sums it up pretty much perfectly. I didn't have the issue so much on EP, because there was a modicum of seriousness about the place. But here, it's almost always stupid, to the point where I don't care any more and it caused me to become caustic towards others

@Kiwi-Dan: People on EP interacted within groups more than here. But, that was also because there were so many more people.

I come here for the silly factor. Like I said, I don't think online communities are a safe place to share. There are too many people who are looking to make prey of the injured. but, that may only be my experience.

I've heard good things about http://www.7cups.com/ though I've never given it a try myself.

Well, I'll have to have a look at that properly later.

I'm not necessarily against the silliness; I just wish that people cared more, you know? But yes, I do agree that online communities are terrible places to share things

@Kiwi-Dan: I do hope you find what you need. Life is hard enough when it goes well.

@TwiddlerOfThumbs: Thanks. I'd probably do well just having a friend to talk to, but that never seems to work out. Maybe I should just keep things to myself, so I'm not bothering anyone

@Kiwi-Dan: Well, if you ever want to, or just need someone to ramble to, you can always message me. I'm fairly level headed, a little flaky and fickle but I don't mind being a set of ears. Or, eyes I suppose. This would be eyes.

@TwiddlerOfThumbs: Thanks. The same goes for you too, should the need ever arise.

@Kiwi-Dan: as long as you don't mind ling rambling messages filled with typos and lacking any real cohesion. 🙃

@TwiddlerOfThumbs: That's fine, as long as you don't mind me pointing out the typos and correcting them. It's a compulsion I can't seem to overcome

@Kiwi-Dan: I always thought I could go far if I had an editor.

@TwiddlerOfThumbs: Well it's a hypothesis we'll just have to test!
