I open up for people I do not know because they can only judge me so far. If I were to open up to anyone I know in real life, I'd be risking what they really thought about me, how the feel around me etc.

That is what I was trying to say, but I think you got the point across better.

Thanks !

I don't see how you can all be so open to a bunch of strangers on an animating site. You know somebody is bound to make fun of you, not that it matters, but still.
I struggled to tell my psychatrist half of my problems and none of my family know shit about me. Sure, I've had my fair share of problems, but I won't tell people about them. I have no need to, what are they going to do? Support from strangers? If I wanted that, I'd go and cry into the shoulder of my father.

You seem to be the only person that continued to give negative feedback to this thread. =/ It seems you think many of us will make fun of what we can, but opening up on a forum isn't bad in any way, really. You can get some support from people you may consider friends or something, or just people who can relate to you.

Many people at school are giving me the "I know just what you're going through, understand everything you're feeling right now, and know that you need a hug," reply. It's nice to open up and not get a response like that on the intranets. I personally don't like the situations those responses give out at all, and talking about it on a forum with people I've talked to about other stuff removes the need to get personally involved in most cases.

I won't come to your house and poop in your ear if you write in the thread anything related to the topic at hand. =/ I don't think I have anything to lose, and cynics and point-and-laughers can go ahead (because it doesn't matter, really, as you said), and it seems to get people to learn more about you, or even give feedback. I think this thread is profitable for the community to get to sharing more about themselves than their screenname and animation skills.

But that's just me. You can do whatever you please. It's fine if you feel unsafe or unwilling to share. :|

Don't try and make smarts at us.

It doesn't work very well.

Quote from madhatter

The reason it's easy for people to tell people on a forum their problems is because, even though this forum is full of cynical douche bags, they can be understanding. Also the chances of ever seeing someone on this forum in real life is very small, so it is easy for people to open up to a forum full of people that they don't know.

True that.

It's not negative feedback. If you looked at the irony of it, you'd see it's technically sharing my inability to share to strangers. I always feel people would seem I'm attention seeking and trying to be more liked by having some problems.
I can be serious and try to give some positive comments, I just chose not to on this occasion. Maybe it was the drink, maybe it was just me. I see where you are coming from, though.

Quote from Mantha

My psychologist helped me shit. All she did was fill me with drugs that caused horrible headaches and my hands shake.

I was just bottling that up for years and felt easier just to type that down. I never expected support from anybody.

I don't care if I'm being made fun of. It's what I said in that post and I still hold that.

I stopped seeing my psychiatrist after she tried putting me back on the crap. I just took trips to town rather than visiting her.
I'm not saying I'll make fun of you all, BTW.

Sorry for continuing to reply;.
