Since joining Sw how do you feel it has impacted your general mood and energy?

Is it a positive experience for you or more depressing?

Ive had a full spectrum of impacts from SW.
- When i first joined it was laughter and fun and a sense of acceptance.
- Then it was a sense of verification and false power and support of my developing toxic rhetoric.
- Then the good stuff started to happen - abitly to look at myself, objectively.....and recognize myself.

All in all its been good. Its given me knowledge, and allowed me to grow as a person. Hopefully to be better.

I see it as a practice space. A space to discuss, learn, support others when i can, walk away when i need to ..... and the freedom to do both when it suits me.

Mostly it allows me to guage myself, my reactions, practice self awareness and resilience..... which i desperately need to put into pracice in my offline life.

I have wasted too much time here in years gone by......avoiding issues in rl.
....but then, at the same time, this place was a refuge from it ....a sanctuary.




I think its what you make it.

If its draining and negative.... then you need to change your approach to it.

If it's positive and supportive.... and or entertaining, then thats good. That's where you want it to be.

I think, if you're open to it ....places like SW can help you stop being reactive, allow you to be honest with yourself, and move towards actively creating better mental and emotional habits that support your real life.

It can become what you make it.




And as someone else said here.....it can also teach you when to recognize to walk away - to choose not to engage .
...which is also a very important life skill.


This is a great question 💯
