lately this whole site seems to be overrun with both trolls and attention whores. I don't know which is worse.
I realize that basically everyone on here is an introvert by default (me included), but the degree of self absorption is ridiculous.
Trolls aside, I get this recurring vibe that half the people on here aren't actually seeking support or advice, but rather just want to complain about their lives in every single post they make, masked as venting but really just blatant attention-seeking.
Go through my posts. I offer advice every opportunity I get, but it almost always falls on deaf ears.
These people will make threads bitching about their random problems. Fine, cool. But if only a few people give them the attention they want, they create a new thread threatening suicide or some other stupid shit.
I've actually had people PM me demanding that I post in their threads. What the fuck is this? A competition?
I don't get it. Whats the point? People vent, no one cares. People offer advice, no one reads. This place has turned into big fat circle jerk.
Need I cite examples? I got plenty.
Anyone know of some alternatives to this place? Ideally a forum where people actually give a shit. Or do these self centered douche bags just come with the territory?
I'm posting this here, as it seems to be where the more rational and stable people lurk.
