I wonder what it will take for people to learn that it's weird and uncomfortable and achieves nothing positive to just directly tell strangers in the internet about how sad you are. Like I just don't really get what is accomplished by this. What is even being sought?
Like, I have a lot of very negative experiences and circumstances in my life that were quite traumatic and awful but what do I or anyone get out of telling strangers about it?
Do you expect a response from me where I say something that makes you feel better? Because I'm not doing that. If you feel like you wasted your youth that's on you buddy. I feel I spent my youth well just by keeping myself alive, personally speaking.
Or do they just forget that whatever they put in my comments is sent directly to me and shown to me for me to read? That they're not just blogging in their own space but actually saying things directly into my inbox? Do they think I'm not reading what they say?
I know this is the autism website and everyone's social skills suck but I don't even understand what's happening here that you'd need a social skill to know not to do it. Like what is the enjoyed benefit of saying it in my comments versus on your own blog? Are you just not thinking? Are you trying to make me uncomfortable on purpose?
I swear I should just start blocking people for this. It's the only way to make people stop doing it.
To summarize and clarify;
-
You can be sad online like, on your own blog, with people you know, etc. but don't just send it to strangers in their asks or DMs. Don't put it directly in their notifications.
-
This is one of those parasocial relationship things. You're forgetting that we are real people on here. Would you say this to my face?
