Careful, don't post on c/OffMyChest on Lemmy either...
People love to downvote you when you rant about someone/something too much...
(There was a Russian dissident that got downvoted for making rants against Russia.
And I got downvoted to hell for checks notes ranting about my parents... 🤷♂️)
Hey, try making songs, or writing poetry/lyrics...
My favorite thing to do is randomly sing about the cruelty of this world in English, and sometimes Mandarin-Chinese (idk why but its sometimes more emotional for me than English... although I probably need to learn more vocabulary for it to properly use it)
Do it solo so nobody is there to judge you
Or you can stand infront of a mirror so you always have "mirror universe you" to accompany you... so you aren't alone... cuz mirror-you is always by your side... 😉
TYSM :)
