@Willowy Have you considered they're just venting on their own space and not looking for a therapist?
Just because you're looking for small talk doesn't mean that's all this place should be for, or other people are wrong for acting differently. You could have just blocked them and moved on.
Was this supposed to be a post about trees, pets, holidays or tattoos?
@tyote Also this isn't 'their own' space, it's a public forum.
@Willowy @tyote Actually, Jester @th3j35t3r, the owner and host of Counter.Social does specifically run this site for people to feel it is their own space, to curate, within the parameters of the TOS, as they wish.
@Pat_Walrond @th3j35t3r
Which I am doing.
@tyote *sigh*, no, it wasn't. It was meant to convey my discomfort and aversion to people who feel it necessary to unload and foist their heaviest baggage on unqualified strangers. If you need someone to help you, seek professional help, not unqualified random people who have zero qualifications to get you what you need.
