i've been posting on and off since 2001 and have met some cool ppl here but have never rly felt like a "regular," and if it didn't happen back when i was a bored teenager w/ no job it's prob not going to happen now that i mainly post during slow afternoons at work
every time i'm tempted to give up ilx i go read any other online forum for a while, almost all of them are either tedious or extremely anxiety-producing next to our little quiet space here

Man if ilx isn’t tedious we’re not trying hard enough
― faculty w1fe (silby), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 22:05 (five years ago) link
I'd say I was a regular, I'd put JD in the list of good people I recognise (along with the other other JD), you are right about the tedious or otherwise other forums. I know a great many of the old names have gone from here, most to fb. But I've never known a place that has a wider bunch of issues discussed, and closer to actual news than actual news sites.

posting this is almost certainly a bad idea but i was going to post some variation on at it some point and i might as well do so now.
ten years or so ago i was a unitarian, and as a hippie-new-age church they had a section in the middle of the service where any member of the congregation could go up to the podium and talk about important things that were going on in their life.
there was one lady there, an absolutely sweet and wonderful lady. and she had a lot of problems. every week she would get up there for ten minutes and tell us about them. of course we all sympathized with her and wanted the best for her but, you know, i wouldn't dream of getting up there and talking about things that were happening to me, even if they seemed important. once my dog died and i got up there and said, literally, "my dog died" and sat back down. that was it. because as much as we all sympathized with her we were also, collectively, spending a lot of time and energy carrying her burdens, and while i was theoretically ok with that, i didn't really want to burden anybody else like that.
eventually a new pastor came in and got rid of that section and we never saw that lady again. i hope she's doing ok.
― Arch Bacon (rushomancy), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link
Normally I am in favour of suggesting that people in stories are secretly the teller, but in this case have you considered that yourself and the lady are actually: different people

J - with all due respect your post read like unsolicited, unqualified psychiatric advice. Other than the closing line it was mean spirited and not up to you to define whether I feel worthless or not. As a long time depression sufferer and someone with bipolar, you should take a step back bud

I know all-too-well how a wobbly frame of mind can make any old thing sound like an assault on oneself but it helps, I find, to be occasionally reminded that this is not always or even necessarily frequently the case.

veered on a predictable schedule between soliciting pity and validation to bolster your self-confidence, and acting out to provoke hostility that would confirm your self-judgments of worthlessness, then 'storming off'

Ross, my post was an attempt to empathize with where you're at. I said nothing to warrant that response. You might consider that in light of the reactions you're seeing itt.
