Why can everyone just pretend to be happy?

Post Reply New Topic

So everyone on the site should cater to what one poster likes and just stop talking about anything negative because you don't like it?

Sorry but due to the nature of this site I am quite certain people will continue to talk about things that upset them such as being treated unfairly, and potentially not being in the process of doing much about it.....sometimes there isn't much one can immediately do in their situation. Also much of the time its not possible to solve someone elses problems through the internet advice can be left then the poster has every right to take it or leave it.

While some of us have friends/family to talk to and maybe even therapists and what not, some don't and this might be the only place they have to discuss these things and get support. Aside from that though I'd prefer to vent on a forum then around friends/family who would be stuck listening to it and won't have the option to think to themselves 'next' and go to to a different thread.

Your request is just a wee bit ridiculous, perhaps it would be better if you pay more attention to forum topics....if a topic looks negative, don't click it. If you click one that doesn't appear like it will be negative then close it and go to a different thread. No one is forcing you to read every post, or respond....and people here should not be banned from talking about negative things over one poster not liking it. I have anxiety, depression and PTSD....don't think it is really within my ability to pretend to be 'happy' I am somewhat content sometimes though and talk about lots of things besides negative stuff.

I am sure there are more positivity oriented sites, maybe it would be worth looking into those.
