Do you ever think (in some situations) we might be (or that we are)?

Just so you know: the question is not at all rhetorical. I just wonder sometimes and maybe you do too.

I don't think so. I've been talk into going IP on this forum when no one IRL could convince me.

Yep. I've had this thought many times. Sometimes I see posts that I don't think are helpful to someone's particular situation, and they often offer "advice" that helps someone stay in their low (or high) state of mind. But it's the internet. You kind of get what you pay for.

Interesting question. Quite possibly but as said, it's the net and just have to move to another thread or post if what your reading isn't helpful.
Can state of mind skew what we post sometimes though? Unintentionally I mean. Just a thought. |

I think the bipoar forum is pretty balanced on the whole but there is at least one thread forum that seems to enable a victim mindset.

No, I don't think this forum enables anyone.

I've been amazed with how members are gently confrontational when necessary.

I don't find BP forum to be enabling, which is why I like it. I've definitely seen enabling going on in other forums on PC.

People want to help, even if the help isn't exactly helpful.
I don't find this forum to be enabling. But sure, enabling exists. |

I don't think there's any enabling going on here. At least, none that I've noticed, and I'm here a lot.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
