I despise the "kiss the boo-boo" threads in The Heaven.
So don't go there?
It's really very easy; WP is a big place and your contributions would be welcomed in other forums I'm sure. (BTW, it's "The Haven").
Also, what you perceive as help is... your perception of help. Sometimes just knowing that someone else has also experienced some painful or difficult event can help.
Good catch. I know how to spell Haven. Not sure how that slipped.
I find it extremely irritating seeing the same characters return with the same old boo-boos having done absolutely nothing differently and nothing at all to help their situation, and who become aggressive when given obvious suggestions.(I have read the rules, thank you.)
Those people are emotional abusers, they come back and drain you of emotional energy time after time, leeching on and wasting the support they are given.
The way I see The Haven is support and relief for situations that do not have solutions. Coping with death, chronic or lifelong conditions, rejection, etc. Situations of dispair where you're out of moves and out of options. Situations where there is no hope.
You'd be surprised, I use a little bit of it too for a lifelong problem that I have: me.
