I like you guys

I came to this site because I've been having a really hard time. I have PTSD and the problem with support groups that you can find on Facebook or Reddit or wherever else is that you have to be an absolutely perfect cookie-cutter mold of whatever groupthink that social media platform adopted or else you can expect to receive no respect or help or even an attempt at empathy from them

So I came here to ask inflammatory, often rhetorical questions just because I'd been feeling pissed off and wanted to piss other people off. But I was surprised to find how chill everyone here is. For example, there have been a few times when I would really be tearing into someone and get a notification that they left a comment on one of my responses that isn't continuing the fight, just adding to a totally different conversation. I really like that people here tend to focus on the individual questions or polls rather than holding grudges over petty internet squabbles, even when someone (me) is being a jackass and intentionally trying to start a fight

It's really a completely foreign feeling to me that you can make overt efforts to be a contrarian piece of shit and people will still accept you for who you are. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for that

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    There is no reason not to be at least civil with people. I do try; but, am not perfect at it.

    Thanks, we like you too! :)

    Glad you feel accepted here! I love this community as well! I agree that sites like Reddit and Facebook tend to be exclusive if you don't fit their mold.

      I'm not patting everyone on the backs for being outstanding examples of human perfection or anything like that. I just wanted to express my appreciation for the fact that the people who frequent this site are generally much more civil towards each other than any other social media site

    No worries bro. I’m a piece of shit too. I like to disagree with others because I hate group think.

    My prediction about you is that you’ll be here a long, long time. By the way, any topic is acceptable. I like to talk about wanking.

    Cheers.
