Not to hijack the "validating helplessness" thread, I wondered what do posters expect/want when they post?

I post from my mobile most times so don't see the hug or thanks button and certainly do not wish for that, I am not looking for friendship and reply to posts not posters. I mainly am looking for like minded responses/engagement. I don't need anyone to validate my posts and do not need anyone to thank me if I reply to their posts. But reading some replys from that other thread I can see where some would get frustrated if they attach certain desires to their being here.

I wouldn't ignore someone because they don't reply to my posts because I barely remember who replys only remember the content.
