My personal opinion is that many on this site have a severe problem with complaining, seeking out negativity, and in general feeling sorry for themselves.
That's the Internet in a nutshell. I genuinely do not think this is anything particular to this forum.
Most people wouldn't say these things in real life because they get told to stop whingeing or making a fuss over nothing/exaggerating, however online people can't tell that what you're saying is not an accurate reflection of life or your situation, so some people prone to attention-seeking and histrionics seem to really wallow in self-pity and sometimes exaggerate their problems because, miraculously, "The Internet" pours pity, attention and in some cases I've seen, even money and gifts your way if you whinge enough about how bad you have it.
