RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Like everyone talks about how nice my ex-friends are, but they were rude to me, called me an annoying bug and stuff, and pretended they didn't know me. And I genuinely want to see them as great people like everyone else sees.

People can be different with different people. One of my buddies from high school was pretty fun and I counted him as one of my friends but he did not really date much. Later when he started having relationships with women he treated them so awful I dialed down my time hanging with him (was not to hard as we were getting older and busier anyway). So like I sorta could not tell how much a jerk he was until I saw him with the right folks. In our group he was nice to everyone. I mean this may not be the case with your thing but just want to point out someone can meet someone and not know them and even have a good impression.
