Something that doesn’t really matter at all made me angry, so instead of dealing with it I’m gonna post here until strangers give me validation and make me feel better.

How old are you LoFi?
Lots of us find life stressful and we post to get it off our chest and get feedback from others for what to do or to get sympathy/compassion.
Don’t mean to sound mean, but if you are against partaking in that, maybe this place isn’t for you?

Yes. I hate it when I have inappropriate responses to stuff.
I’m old enough to know that feeling bad for yourself day after day doesn’t make a bad situation better, I have problems and stress, more than most on this site, and I don’t feel the need to constantly seek negative attention and consolement. I have sz and that’s who this site is for.

There’s nothing wrong with seeking consolement from people who might understand the issue. And most of the time it helps.
I also think there’s a big difference between feeling bad for yourself, and seeking perspectives from others.
I just don’t see what you hope to gain from this place if you are against consoling others.

I think there are some posts here which are looking for attention more than consolation to real problems with real suffering, and warrant satire.
I also think telling anyone they don’t belong here is bs. We should know better than to accept intolerance as the answer.

Yes because mocking people is far more constructive. I am no authority. I’m just saying if you think seeking help and consolation is weak, then why come to a MH forum. What will you gain from it? Hence my comment.
Who would dare have the nerve to ask for support on a support forum? Don’t they know we only post dank memes here and asking for support on a support forum is weird!? 
Seriously though, what’s the point of this thread? The forum is literally made to discuss issues we experience due to our mental health, and making fun of people and judging how important their issues are is belittling.

Humor is always more constructive than pettiness, and being easily triggered.

@fractaled hello you appear to be new 
sometimes some of us do post for attention (I’m very guilty of this) but this forum is like a family, we talk about the small stuff too, things that aren’t massive issues, and some people just want someone to talk to sometimes. Also I dont think it’s fair to deem other peoples problems as attention seeking; unless it’s in a constructive way, because someone giving us attention sometimes can really help a problem

Humour is meant to be funny.
And I didn’t realise its petty to want to talk about our problems on a mental health board…

I never said it was. Reacting to other people’s humor negatively is.
