Hi, empath301. Anytime we get into a relationship with someone, we are taking a chance. And if we are really hypervigilant, then we might see harm where other folks would not.

Psych Central is a safe place. We have moderators and administrators who keep an eye on things. And any member can report anything going on that is against the guidelines.The guidelines indicate that members are to be kind/civil to each other.

If you ever do feel like someone is not treating you right, then report it to the moderators by clicking on the icon at the bottom left of posts and leave a message. This is the icon: .

Also, people can officially be put on "ignore," where you can't see what they post, so that's a way of screening out anybody who causes you any concern.

I hope this information helps, dear one. We want you to feel safe here.
