I find it interesting how different people have different posting styles regarding frequency and mood as well.

I think that extremes are what can be hard.

If people post a lot when they are in distress (and their distress is frequent) then that can be hard for other people to read. Especially if they don't really see what they can do to help the person.

If people go all quiet when they are in distress then that can be really hard for that person too. Especially... If nobody seems to notice. If nobody reaches out to them.

I imagine that if I posted a lot of really supportive posts and nobody seemed to notice or really post supportive posts to me when I was upset I might end up feeling... Used. Resentful. Like nobody really cares about me.

So extremes... Can be hard. Because sometimes if you don't tell people... They aren't going to know.

I think most people struggle with trying to find a balance.
