Why people like seeing people’s insecurities and problems?
I noticed that posts from girls telling that they are feeling bad, or feeling ashamed of their bodies, feeling missing someone get a lot of likes and support, more then when they just post their normal thoughts, instead if they post something not about problem or emotions, they would have more h a t e ful comments then if they post something negative about themselves, like people love when you s u f f e r or something. Without jokes I think that it’s the theory of vulnerability and relatability, because in most of cases these problems are something that everyone experienced so it’s relatable to them, then just random thoughts that not everyone care about it’s just a shared humanity effect, so they feel more safe to share their stories too and it makes them feel that they are not the only ones who experience that.

You literally went through the whole of it in that post. "Why?" And then you explained why. That wasn't so much a question but a course of understanding. I appreciate that you found your way from point A to B so cleanly

Maybe a variety of reasons those people post: Like the person could be telling others that they are not alone, and they are going thru what others might be going thru? Or maybe it helps to vent when they have nobody to vent to? Just like some people might do journalling to help them (Not me, but others who need ways to feel better)? Or for others' input on how their problems could be fixed? Everyone's different. They shouldn't be subjeced to hate comments if it's real...If they are faking it for attention, then totally different story (edited)

I enjoy intellectual conversations the most. But being me, I am going to relate with others if they are having a tough time and will try to help in whatever way I can.

I think our lives all have complex mixes of positive and negative. When someone shares negative, it comes across as asking for help/support to me. When they share positive, it comes across as either neutral or offering support. I'm looking more for connection, so it's appreciated and refreshing to come across deep, complex thoughts and raw emotion of any kind. But I'm more likely to interact if I feel I have something to contribute. Solid positive thoughts don't really need anything added. So unless I have nuance to add or advice, I'm not too likely to respond. So in short, I'd agree vulnerability encourages others to let their guard down and connect/offer support, and that's likely a big part of the effect you're seeing.

Not all empaths choose the light
Empathy has many shades—some darker than others. Not all who understand emotions are drawn to the light. Dark empaths walk a thin line, blending insight with detachment. Curious if there are others here who see the world in shades of gray…

Dreams
When we were kids, our dreams were limitless, whether it was becoming an explorer, an artist, or building a world of our own. So, I’m curious: What did you dream of becoming? And did you follow that path, or did life lead you somewhere unexpected?

If you're going to ask for people's help, at least have some respect for them!
Three times this week I spotted young people here, seemingly depressed, asking for help. In all three cases I tried to help - one of my college degrees was Psychology - only to be left talking to the walls after less than five minutes. It kind of reminds me of the tale of "Peter and the Wolf"...... read more

Letting you know right now you’re dreaming
None of this is real. What you’re doing is, you’re still in a dream. You’re sleeping. Imagine Godzilla just coming out, he’s coming to give you a hug.

Let’s face it. Some of us are scarred by people who lack accountability. That’s more about them than it is about you. You may feel like you want an apology but if your heart has been broken by someone, can you really trust them to put it back together?
