Do you think some people put themselves down constantly on here because they’re just looking for attention and sympathy from people?

A lot of people here are starving. Their life is or has been populated with those who would rather knock them down than lift them up and it’s hard to believe you’re worth anything else when those are the only voices you hear. Whether they’re just venting the struggle or making an abject play for sympathy, hearing a different voice makes the void less empty.
